The 10 Best Silk Pillowcases
This wiki has been updated 27 times since it was first published in January of 2017. Since we spend a third of our lives in bed, splurging on a luxurious silk pillowcase to improve health and comfort is a valid expense. With properties known to fight the signs of aging, reduce friction in hair, and regulate body temperature, they redefine the meaning of "beauty sleep." Just prepare to feel so spoiled that you're never satisfied with a plain old cotton cover again. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes
August 02, 2019:
We thought about the top reasons one selects a silk pillowcase and made sure our selections cater to those. If you're taking every step possible to prevent face wrinkles, there is the Topp Textile ZimaSilk, which should help you wake up with fewer lines. There's also the Celestial Silk Pure, which won't strip your skin of its natural moisture or absorb your night creams, making sure every drop of your skin-tightening product winds up in your pores and not on your bedding. Another great choice on the beauty-boosting front is the Fishers Finery 19MM Luxury, which is great for minimizing frizzy hair.
We wanted to make sure a range of styles were covered, too, so we added some timeless, subtle options in the Pinzon by Amazon PC and the Spasilk Facial Beauty, as well as some cases available in bold designs like the Alaska Bear Hypoallergenic and the Topp Textile ZimaSilk. There's something for a child's room, too, with the Silky Tales Kids.
High-quality fabric was naturally important in this category. If you're going for the best material, you may as well have even the finest varieties of it. That's why we added the LilySilk Mulberry, which is made of its namesake silk — one of the highest-grade varieties of this material..
