Why Silk Is the Best Fabric for Sleeping
A good night’s sleep is one of life’s quiet luxuries — and one of the greatest investments in your health and happiness.
We obsess over mattresses, pillows, and sleep trackers, but often overlook the fabric that’s closest to us for 7–9 hours every night: our sleepwear.
And when it comes to sleepwear, nothing compares to silk. Here’s why silk is the best fabric for sleeping — and why once you try it, you’ll never go back.
1. Naturally Temperature-Regulating
Tossing and turning because you’re too hot, then waking up chilled an hour later?
Silk solves that. As a natural protein fiber, silk regulates temperature better than almost any fabric.
It keeps you cool when it’s warm, and warm when it’s cool — the perfect balance for uninterrupted rest.

Unlike synthetic fabrics that trap heat and sweat, silk allows your skin to breathe.
It wicks away moisture and resists odors, so you stay fresh and comfortable all night.
The result: deeper, more restorative sleep without the clammy wake-ups.

Silk has a uniquely smooth surface that reduces friction against your skin.
That means less irritation, no creasing, and a soothing sensation that helps your body relax.
Many dermatologists recommend silk for sensitive skin - but even if you don’t need it, you’ll feel the difference.

Silk sleepwear feels like wearing nothing at all - but don’t mistake that lightness for fragility.
High-quality silk (like the 27-momme mulberry silk we use at Tara Sartoria) is incredibly durable, lasting for years of nightly wear while keeping its luster and drape.
5. A Sleep Ritual of Luxury
Sleep isn’t just about function; it’s about ritual.
Putting on silk pajamas or slipping under a silk robe signals to your body and mind that it’s time to slow down
It’s a small, daily luxury that transforms bedtime into something you look forward to.

- Washable: no dry-cleaning dependency.
- Durable: made from 27-momme mulberry silk, richer and longer-lasting than typical silk.

Silk isn’t just the best fabric for sleep - it’s the best way to elevate rest into a ritual of care and comfort.

Excellent Quality - Best Ever Purchased
Over the past 5 years, I’ve purchased just about every brand of silk pajamas there - and these BY FAR are simply the best quality in every aspect.The silk itself begs belief as to how thick and soft it is (it feels twice the weight of the more expensive established brands), it is not transparent, it flows beautifully.
