Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't mess around about bedtime, so it's no surprise she sleeps with silk bedding. The actress shared an Instagram reel to prove to the non-believers that, yes, she really does go to sleep at 6:30 PM, and we couldn't help but notice her salmon pink, silk quilt, inevitably complementing her impeccable sleep hygiene.
This luxe bedding material is lauded for its multitude of benefits. First, it can help regulate temperature. 'Silk is practical, as well as pretty: naturally cooling, it's a great option for hot sleepers and summer nights,' says Emilia Hitching, Homes & Gardens' sleep Editor. Sleeping cool is one of the best ways to guarantee sleeping through the night, so it's a great option to help enhance every night's rest.
Curtis's choice of bedding also has wonderful, beauty-boosting benefits. 'Silk has a low absorption rate, which means it retains more moisture and can hydrate your skin while you sleep. Hydrated skin looks better and feels softer. You can apply a full face of beauty creams and settle down to sleep on your silk pillowcases, safe in the knowledge that your case won't absorb your treatments. Your beauty products will sink into your skin, rather than your sheets, hydrating you all the more,' writes Hitching on why you should buy a silk pillowcase.
Yet another reason to buy a silk pillowcase or silk bedding is that it can extend the lifespan of your hairstyle. 'I would especially recommend silk bedding to sleepers with textured or curly hair, or anyone who spends a lot of time and money on their blow-out, and wants to keep it. Silk helps your strands to hold their shape and keep their sheen,' says Hitching.
Furthermore, people are sometimes put off of the luxe bedding because they imagine it is difficult to care for. Hitching says this isn't true. She states: 'Contrary to popular opinion, silk isn't all that high-maintenance. Most silk bedding is machine-washable, and some is even dryer-safe, so long as you select the correct care options.' Washing a silk pillowcase is as easy as falling asleep on one.

If you want to try out silk bedding but aren't sure you're ready to commit, there is a simple solution: 'For a quick and easy upgrade, I suggest you invest in the best silk pillowcase to keep your skin smooth and your hair hydrated,' says Hitching. Here are a few of our moisturizing, temperature controlling favorites.

This silk pillowcase features classic Oxford edges and gossamer stitching, and even a delicately embroidered monogram. It looks good, and feels good, too.
To complement the lustrous texture of silk bedding, we recommend pairing it with other fabric finishes. For instance, in Jamie Lee Curtis's bedroom, the actress has paired the pink silk quilt with a simple cotton duvet.
