Why Compare?
Both silk and cotton are popular choices for bedding — but they’re not the same. From touch to temperature, discover how silk outperforms cotton and why it’s worth the upgrade.
Feel:
The Sensation Against Your Skin
Better sleep begins with how your bedding feels. Silk transforms your nightly rest into a gentle embrace — smooth on the skin, kind to your hair, and endlessly indulgent. When your bed feels this good, you’ll look forward to every night’s sleep.
Silk
Luxuriously smooth and soft, gliding effortlessly against your skin, reducing friction and leaving you with a pampered feel.
Cotton
Crisp, breathable, and familiar, softening with every wash but lacking the natural glide of silk.

Fabric & Benefits: What It’s Made of
Choose silk for beauty benefits that go far beyond comfort. Unlike cotton, silk actively nurtures your skin and hair while you sleep, so you wake up looking and feeling refreshed. Investing in silk means investing in lasting beauty and everyday wellness.
Silk
A natural protein fiber rich in amino acids, silk nourishes your skin and hair, helps retain moisture, and is naturally hypoallergenic.
Cotton
A plant-based staple that is durable and versatile, but it absorbs moisture, which can dehydrate your skin overnight.

Allergy-Friendly: Gentle on Skin
Silk offers more than comfort — it provides peace of mind. Its natural resistance to allergens, combined with a gentle, skin-soothing surface, makes it the perfect choice for anyone with sensitive skin.
Silk
Naturally hypoallergenic, silk resists dust mites and common allergens while its smooth texture minimizes irritation — making it ideal for sensitive skin and those prone to allergies.
Cotton
While generally skin-friendly, cotton fibers tend to absorb moisture and can trap dust and allergens, especially if not washed frequently, which may trigger sensitivities.

Temperature:
Year-Round Comfort
Silk adapts as naturally as you do. Whether it’s the height of summer or the depths of winter, silk helps keep your body in balance — cool, dry, and cozy all at once. It’s not just bedding, it’s year-round comfort designed to support deeper, uninterrupted sleep.
Silk
Naturally temperature-regulating — cool in summer, warm in winter.
Cotton
Breathable but less adaptive, often feeling too hot or too cool.
