Sleep Week 2023: The Best Silk Pillowcases To Shop

It's time to take your beauty sleep to the next level.
Sleep Week 2023: The Best Silk Pillowcases To Shop
Brooklinen
By Jennifer Ford · Updated March 15, 2023

The best silk pillowcases have a luxe look and feel. They can also raise the bar on your beauty sleep. Unlike cotton alternatives that generate friction—and frizzy hair and facial creases as a result—silky shams provide a smooth surface that keeps bed head and wrinkles at bay. And what’s better, the fabric has antibacterial properties, so it’s less likely to induce breakouts. Another perk is that silk pillow covers are naturally thermoregulating, so they’ll help you sleep cool and comfortably.

In honor of National Sleep Week, below, we’ve rounded up the best silk pillowcases to shop in 2023. Our list includes top-rated options from trusted brands and they’re available in various sizes and colors. Whether you’re looking for an affordable silk pillowcase like our pick from Brooklinen, or a dual-sided option (see number six on our list), we’ve got you covered.
