The trend towards silk bedding started with silk pillowcases, with many people sharing stories about the benefits for your hair and skin. Now, it seems everyone in the know has made the switch. So, if you value your beauty sleep or just want a bit of luxury in the bedroom, you might also be thinking about getting a full set of silk sheets.
While silk sheet sets can come with a hefty price tag, we’d argue the pros far outweigh the one-time hit we’ll take to our bank accounts.
And, considering we spend one third of our lives in bed, making the most of our much-needed R & R is essential.
Here’s everything you need to know about silk sheets, including the best buys right now.
Are Silk Bed Sheets Worth It?
The benefits of investing in silk bed sheets are three-fold. Made from a natural, renewable and biodegradable fabric, the composition of silk is more eco-friendly than cotton.
Then, of course, comes the beauty benefits of sleeping of silk including less friction on the hair and skin which can increase fine lines, acne and frizz.
Finally, if you find yourself getting particularly heated in the sheets (and not in the good way) silk can have a cooling effect and are moisture wicking in comparison to cotton.
