What is the difference between a silk pillowcase and a satin pillowcase?

Silk is extremely breathable and has been proven to help control your temperature while sleeping. What's more, it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic too, which is ideal for those of us with sensitive skin. Satin is none of these things and simply aims to replicate the look of real silk, so it won’t provide any beauty, anti-ageing or wellbeing benefits. This cheaper material often creates the static which makes hair frizzy, therefore doing the direct opposite of silk.

Given their dual powers, the highest quality silk bedding is pricier than cotton or flannel sheets, so buying a full set of sheets before trying them out might not be the best idea. We recommend investing in a set of pillowcases first, testing if you like them and then deciding whether to go for the full bedroom suite. That way, you can narrow down your colour preference too, as many come in different shades and prints. To help you decide, we've rounded up the best silk pillowcases to buy now.
