Silk is a natural fibre, known for its luxurious sheen, smoothness and texture... Introducing silk into your sacred night time space, can help improve the quality of your sleep and be of huge benefit to your comfort, skin and hair.
Here are a few of the key benefits:
Silk is thermoregulating
Silk has natural insulating properties that make it a great option through all seasons... In the cooler months, silk can help trap body heat close to the skin and keep us warmer. In warm weather, silk's moisture-wicking properties help to keep the skin dry and cool. Silk is also a great option when trying to regulate humidity due to its natural moisture-wicking properties.
Silk is hypoallergenic
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. It is naturally resistant to most dust mites, mould and mildew, which are common allergens people struggle with when trying to sleep. Our silk pillowcases are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified- they have been tested against a wide range of harmful chemicals, that may cause allergens.
Silk has anti-bacterial properties
The natural anti-bacterial qualities of silk make it a better option for those with sensitive and acne prone skin.
Silk retains moisture on the skin
Silk is a naturally moisture-wicking fabric, known for its ability to retain moisture, helping keep skin hydrated, glowing and preventing dryness... The smoothness of silk can also help avoid facial skin feeling irritated during your time in bed.
Silk creates less friction
Keep your hair in check. Silk is a smooth, soft and luxurious material that creates less friction on our hair compared to other bedding materials. Rougher materials, such as cotton and polyester cause hair to tangle, snap and frizz whilst we sleep. Due to the thickness and high thread count of quality silk, friction is drastically reduced with silk, helping contain your hair and a style.
