If your bedroom vibe has felt a little blah lately, why don't you slip into something more comfortable? Silk bedding is touted for its otherworldly smooth texture that not only feels incredibly dreamy but also helps to reduce the friction on your skin and hair, so you wake up feeling (and looking) less rumpled.
Though silk sheets feel cool and slinky to the touch, this lightweight fabric does tend to retain body heat, making it a better bedding material choice for those who like to sleep in a cooler room but don't want to bulk up with a ton of layers.
How We Chose
The products in this guide have been chosen first and foremost for their high-quality materials and construction. Instead of thread count, silk sheet weights are measured by their momme count. All of the pure silk sets here have a weight of at least 19 momme, which means that the fabric is breathable without being too thin.
Considering that a complete set of silk sheets is an investment item that may be out of range for some, we also chose a couple of budget-friendly alternatives, such as satin sheets and silk pillowcases, for a similar and just-as-enjoyable feel.

Silk sheets are undoubtedly luxe, but they're so worth the silky smooth comfort. While this set isn't cheap (no pure silk set is), we've named it our best overall pick because its quality craftsmanship and 100% mulberry silk material are truly top of the line, and its reviewers agree.
The Orose long-fiber silk sheet set is equipped with seamless pockets that can accommodate up to a 16-inch-high mattress. It comes in 12 shades — one of the largest color ranges in silk sheets that we've been able to find — and it's available in sizes twin through California king.
This 19-momme silk sheets set from Lilysilk feels light and airy, yet substantially insulating. Many reviewers love the smooth feel, which enhances the sleeping experience considerably — though a few do recommend getting a set of bed-sheet clips to keep them in place.
This set is available in a wide range of eight hues and sizes twin through California king.
This mulberry-silk pillowcase from Brooklinen is a fabulous entry into silk bedding. According to reviewers, it's smooth, durable, and washes well. Its envelope closure also helps prevent pillows from slipping out in the night.
While not cheap in any sense of the word, this pillowcase is slightly more affordable than other pure silk products, and it comes in both a standard and king size. This is a major plus, considering that well-known brands like Slip start at a queen size. The pillowcase is also available in eight colors.
If you love the look of silk, but you just want a little bit of the smooth and slippery feel while you sleep, opt for this luxe, mulberry silk duvet cover from Gingerlily.
Available in only a queen size and six colors, it slides right over your comforter and allows you to layer the top and fitted sheets that you already love sleeping with — without any added weight and heat.
Comprised of an almost-equal blend of silk and cotton, this flat sheet from Cuddledown has a unique soft and smooth texture, while also displaying a traditional cotton sateen weave. The cotton-silk blend also makes it far more affordable than pure silk.
Not only is it beautifully tailored, but it's also incredibly durable, holding up to multiple washes without getting worn and fuzzy. These sheets are available in sizes queen and king and six different colors.
While satin may lack the luxe quality of silk sheets, this material does have the major benefit of being vegan-friendly.
Because it's so similar to silk in texture, satin also offers the same benefits. It helps to reduce creases on your face and in your hair as you sleep, and it also doesn't grip onto your clothing, so you don't have to make adjustments as often in the night. Not to mention, it is a very inexpensive material.
Users love the gentle weight and feel of Madison Park’s satin sheet set, enjoying the “slippery” feeling that cotton just doesn’t have. This set is available in eight colors, from sizes full to California king.
Slip's marble-patterned silk pillowcase (available in 14 other colors) is a much gentler alternative on your skin and hair to sleeping on cotton each night. Plus, its super-smooth fabric will make your pillow even more fun to spoon with.
These pillowcases come in a slightly weightier 22 momme and are available only in queen and king sizes.
This silk sheet is the perfect pick for jetsetters who want an extra layer that won't add bulk to their bag. The Brave Era travel blanket comes with its own compact drawstring carrier, but it unfurls to an impressive 6.5 feet long.
It's also conveniently machine-washable and quick-drying, so you can use it as a personal cocoon during your next overnight stay, and give it a gentle wash when you return home. It comes in both gray and white.
These lustrous silk sheets have a 19-momme weight, which is just about the average number for most sets. Reviewers tout this set specifically because of its soft, lightweight, and not-too-dense texture. They also advise taking care in machine-washing this set, as a hot, rough cycle will deteriorate and dull the sheen of the material.
The four-piece set comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases, and it comes in eight different colors.
These 19-momme silk sheets from THXSILK are an ultra-refined foundational element for your sleep space. Crafted from OEKO-TEX-certified mulberry silk with a charmeuse weave, it has 16-inch-deep pockets for accommodating high mattresses with a foam topper.
Notably, 74% of its Amazon reviewers give the sheets a perfect, 5-star score — the users tout their irresistibly soft and cool feel and say that these sheets are worth the cost and the extra care in laundering. They're available to buy in sizes twin, queen, king, and California king and 10 different colors.
Even the littlest member of your family can slumber in the lap of luxury. All of the crib sheets in Coco Beans' line are adorable, but we're partial to the celebratory Slumber Party design.
This single fitted sheet comprises 19-momme silk with a soft and smooth feel. Just like for adults, the texture of these sheets helps to prevent tangles and knots in super fine and delicate hair. This fitted sheet is machine-washable and fit for tumble-drying on low heat for convenience.
