If you're all about taking care of your skin with anti-wrinkle eye creams and lasers or keeping your hair healthy with hair masks and castor oil, then you should absolutely be sleeping on a silk pillowcase as part of your beauty routine, too. Even if you don't have an intense 10-step skincare routine, it's still worth investing in a good silk pillowcase because not only are they good for your skin and hair, they're also an easy way to make any bedroom feel fancy AF.
Ready to make the upgrade? In addition to testing silk pillowcases ourselves, we spoke to celebrity hairstylist and The Ouai founder Jen Atkin, as well as licensed aesthetician Brit Lanier, about the benefits of silk pillowcases for hair and skin—spoiler alert: they're both fans—and found the silk pillowcases with the most glowing customer reviews. TL;DR: we did the work to find you the absolute best silk pillowcases to invest in right now.
Our top picks for the best silk pillowcases of 2024:
Pro tip before we start: When shopping for a silk pillowcase, keep an eye out for the momme (mm). This is a measurement of density used for silk fabrics. The higher the momme, the more expensive the silk. For reference, a pillow cases of 30 momme is generally considered the most luxe, with 15 being the least, so it's good to aim for somewhere between there. But it all depends on your price point and comfort! Whatever you decide, I can promise that once you go silk, you'll never go back.
