Don’t Call It Satin — This Is the Best Silk Bedding for People Who Take Sleep Seriously

As if sleeping in 100% silk weren’t decadent enough, Lilysilk lets you monogram your sheet — up to ten characters, in your choice of font and thread color. It’s an impressive detail, especially considering Lilysilk remains one of the more accessible silk bedding brands on the market. Customization aside, the flat sheet comes in a rich palette of colors, from Navy Blue and Rosy Pink to Natural White, Black, and Taupe.

It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel — nor does it need to. If you’re after a classic white silk fitted sheet that will last for life (assuming you treat it right — see care guide below), this is the one. From The White Company, expect the usual hallmarks of quality and refinement. An everyday staple, but elevated.

Few brands do silk quite like Gingerlily — from pillowcases to duvets to this immaculate flat sheet. Crafted from the finest long-strand mulberry silk, it’s silk in its purest, most polished form. The Silver Gray shade is luminous, the texture pristine. Ideal for minimalists who still want a touch of indulgence in the mix.

Inspired by the wide blue skies of Ashdown Forest, this Summerhill Blue duvet features a thick white border reminiscent of soft clouds overhead. It’s a rare example of design-led silk bedding — most options keep things plain. Between the dreamy tone and the subtle contrast detailing, it goes without saying that Gingerlily earns a second mention on this list.

When shoppers spend big — par for the course with silk — they’re not easily won over. Which is why this John Lewis duvet cover, with its perfect 5-star rating, feels like such a discovery. It’s one of those rare pieces that combines serious quality with a surprisingly palatable price tag (less than half of what many silk options cost). “Whilst all those anti-ageing, hydrating, and hypoallergenic benefits are also true for duvet covers, I’ve been most impressed with how it regulates temperature,” writes one reviewer. Another adds: “It has a posh and luxurious hotel feel.” Enough said.

Size options for silk bedding are often frustratingly limited — not here. Mommesilk offers everything from Single to Super King, plus five colorways, so you’re not stuck with beige or ivory. Made from Grade 6A mulberry silk, this set boasts a flawless 5/5-star rating across 88 reviews — not an easy feat in this category. For those who want choice and quality, this one delivers both.

Where most silk bedding goes understated, Mayfairsilk leans into drama — florals, botanicals, and storybook scenes printed onto 25 momme silk (a weightier, more durable version of the standard). The “Hummingbird” pillowcase in particular feels special and entirely worth the splurge. Five-star reviews confirm what you’re already thinking — it’s not just a pillowcase, it’s art for your bed.

I made it a mission to hunt down patterned silk that didn’t feel clichéd or overwrought — and this striped number from Slip fits the bill. Scalloped edges add a dose of charm, and the bold, candy-like palette plays surprisingly well with both patterned bedding and striped bedding sets. Available in Turquoise, too, if you’re in the mood for a little more mischief.

Any silk pillowcase under £100 from a reputable brand is already a win. Under £80? Even better. Under £60? Buy two. That’s the case with this 4.5-star rated pick by Jasper Conran London, pictured here in a soft, romantic blush. One glowing review sums it up perfectly: “I'm sleeping better, my hair is falling better, and looking fab every morning. It also keeps you nice and cool whilst sleeping. Don't delay, buy one today.” Honestly, you won’t need much convincing.

Silk and washing machines aren’t natural bedfellows — but Lunya has figured it out. Their cult-favorite washable silk appears here in a full-length robe with a shawl collar and no shortage of elegance. The vibe is very ‘lady of the manor’, but with the practicality of machine-washable, temperature-regulating silk you’ll wear all year. Luxe, but low-maintenance — the dream.

This is not your average sleep mask — and that’s the point. The oversized, sculptural silhouette isn’t just for show: it protects the delicate skin around your eyes while blocking light more effectively than smaller styles. Draped across your forehead and cheekbones, it elevates both your sleep and your bedside setup — the kind of indulgence that pays dividends in actual rest.

Whether you identify more with Gatsby or Bond, there’s something undeniably suave about this Harrods silk robe. Its geometric motif in rich chocolate brown plays beautifully against folded lapels. Will you want to wear it beyond the bedroom? Potentially  — and I wouldn’t blame you.
