The best silk pillowcases for 2022 – CNET [CNET]

If you dread waking up with bed head or dry skin, try swapping your usual pillow cover for a silk pillowcase. Touted by beauty pros for their skin and hair benefits, silk pillowcases are a game-changer for your nighttime routine and beauty sleep. Since silk doesn’t wick away moisture from your skin like other materials do, a silk pillowcase helps keep your face from getting dry and reduces the friction that can mess up your hair while you sleep.

Silk pillowcase brands often advertise an impressive list of benefits of switching your pillowcase from cotton to silk — like better hair and skin. And while the science is less than solid on how much silk can really help with complex skin concerns like wrinkles, sensitive skin or acne, beauty pros and experts have recommended them for years for softer, frizz-free hair and better-moisturized skin. 

If you’re ready to swap out your normal-thread-count cotton pillowcase for a silk alternative, and potentially reduce hair breakage, tame frizzy hair and pamper your dry skin in the process, try one of the silk pillowcases below. We’ve curated this best silk pillowcase list based on research and customer reviews from across the web, including sites like Amazon and Sephora. Also, if you’re looking to further up your sleep game, we have suggestions for the best pillows, best sheets and more.
