Independent buying guides for hot sleepers and cooling bedding

Best Cooling Silk Pillowcases

Updated How we research

A cooling silk pillowcase uses natural mulberry silk that feels cool to the touch and breathes far better than cotton or polyester, so it does not cling or hold warmth. It is ideal for hot sleepers, people with night sweats, and anyone who wants smoother hair and less skin creasing. Look for genuine mulberry silk rated around 19 to 25 momme, a weight that balances durability and that signature cool feel. Check the closure, a hidden zipper keeps the case on better than an envelope style, and confirm the grade is 6A for the finest fibers. Choose machine-washable or gentle-care silk and note the thread quality, since cheaper satin blends will not stay as cool.
