Silk versus cotton: which is better for your sleep?

Every one of us knows it.

Brittle and dry hair?

Sleeping on a regular pillowcase can damage them even more. Your hair deserves better than to be ruined by rough textiles every night.

Dry and irritated skin?

Traditional cotton covers can worsen your condition by removing the natural oils from your skin. And they often cause friction, leading to further irritation and discomfort.

Restless sleep?

With cotton or synthetic covers, you can often wake up all hot and bothered. That’s because they can’t regulate temperature and moisture as effectively as silk.

For years we all grew up on regular cotton sheets and there was no “problem” with them, but we neverrealized how this – albeit 100% natural material – affects our sleep and treats our skin and hair when we spend a third of our lives on it.

Cotton is harsh and drying to skin and hair

And that’s not all. Cotton also increases the friction between your skin and the fabric, which slowly leads to wrinkles, hair damage and frayed ends. It may sound far-fetched, but in reality, your bedding may be the reason you wake up tired in the morning with dull skin and disheveled hair.

Plus, cotton retains moisture, which can create a humid environment perfect for bacteria and dust mites. Not only can this trigger allergies or skin irritations, but it also disrupts your night’s sleep. Even worse, it can’t effectively regulate temperature, leading to frequent awakenings and reducing the quality of your rest and body recovery.

Cotton fibers under a microscope:

Under the microscope, the frayed and rough structure of cotton fibres is clearly visible. These sharp edges can damage our delicate skin and hair when touched. It is possible that these uneven surfaces are the cause of the discomfort we feel during sleep. Although cotton is very popular, it may not always guarantee the highest comfort for our skin.

But what if there was a simple solution that would dramatically improve your sleep, the condition of your hair and your skin? That solution is Feel the Silk silk sheets.

Silk fibers under the microscope:

Under a microscope, you can clearly see the unique smoothness and slipperiness of silk fibers. This natural characteristic of silk ensures that these fibres are gentle on your skin and hair and do not weigh them down or cause them harm. It is this extraordinary softness that ensures that silk products will give you a comfortable and quality sleep. It is these characteristics that make silk one of the most luxurious and gentle materials for our skin and hair.

Experience the feeling of silk, which inspired me to start Feel the Silk – a brand that is the result of my passion and search for solutions to my damaged hair. Silk has literally saved me from constantly breaking my hair, especially on the back of my head. With equally enthusiastic individuals around me, we embarked on an adventure of discovering and testing the highest quality silk. Today, I am proud to introduce you to our exclusive products and personally guarantee that they are the absolute best you can find on the market.

Silk rubber band | S | BLACK | 2 pcs

These rubber bands are fantastic, they don’t stretch at all, they don’t pull the hair. Although the price is higher, they are really worth it and your hair and scalp will thank you in the future.
