10 best silk bedding for a hint of luxury, tested by an interiors editor

Silk bedding is not created equal, and this mulberry silk fitted sheet proves it. Scooms has just launched fitted sheets to complement its existiing bijou range of silk pillowcases and eye masks, and they’re easily the softest I tested. The 6A-grade, 22-momme mulberry silk feels buttery smooth, with a lovely weight and subtle sheen that marks out top-quality silk straight away.

I liked the thoughtful design details too – the continuous elastic hem ensures a snug fit, and the little feet label actually makes life easier when you’re making up the bed (silk can be a slippery agent at the best of times). Handily, it even comes in a matching silk draw-string bag, which feels as considered as the fabric itself. There’s no matching duvet cover available, but I’m hoping that’s to come.

If you’re thinking of investing in a cosy blanket, silk might not be top of your list, but this piece is here to change your mind. Made from 19-momme, 6A-grade mulberry silk, it feels smooth, soft and a bit weightier than you’d expect – warm without ever being stifling. I used it layered over cotton sheets on cooler nights, and it added just the right amount of toastiness while still feeling breathable.

The contrasting satiny silk border gives it a polished finish that makes the bed look instantly smarter, and the neutral shade, whether you go with ivory, grey or taupe, works with pretty much any bedding. It’s one of those pieces that feels instantly luxurious but also genuinely useful – light enough for summer, warm enough for winter – and it feels wholly indulgent in the best possible way.

Silk pillowcases have earned their place in the beauty sleep line-up for good reason. This one from Drowsy feels instantly luxurious – smooth, cool and soft against the skin, with a signature sheen that marks out great silk. I noticed fewer sleep creases and less frizz after a few nights, and it helped my skincare stay put rather than soaking into the pillow.

The dusty gold colour is a standout for how beautifully it blends in: subtle and warm, it adds a touch of polish without clashing with neutral bedding. Drowsy also does excellent silk eye masks, including the viral Breakfast at Drowsy version (£65, Drowsysleepco.com) – perfect if you fancy a little Holly Golightly moment.

This extra-deep fitted sheet from Belledorm is made from 100 per cent 6A-grade mulberry silk and designed with real-life use in mind. The 38cm depth means it fits snugly over even the chunkiest mattresses and toppers – no more corners pinging off in the night – while the elasticated edges make it easy to fit and smooth to the touch.

The silk itself is light and airy, with a soft sheen and a cool, weightless feel against the skin. It’s gentle on sensitive skin and helps regulate temperature through the seasons, so you stay comfortable year-round. Undeniably an investment buy, this one’s a practical but seriously indulgent upgrade for your bed. And it proves surprisingly durable for a piece that’s so delicate and lightweight

It’s surprisingly rare to find silk pillowcases sold as a pair, which makes this Silk Addict set ideal for anyone who likes their bedding to look streamlined and symmetrical. Made from 22-momme mulberry silk, the pillowcases are beautifully smooth and supple – and they feel instantly cooling against your skin, whilst of course keeping both bedhead hair and facial creases at bay.

I tested the navy shade, and it held its deep, inky tone perfectly after multiple washes. The finish feels totally luxurious, and they come neatly packaged for gifting, too. The brand also makes excellent silk eye masks, including a weighted version for an extra touch of sleep-aid indulgence (£59, Silkaddict.com) and further colour matching.

Silk isn’t your typical pillow filling, but this one from Silkweb makes a strong case for the switch. It’s generously filled with 1.2kg of long-fibre mulberry silk floss – no synthetic cores or mixed fibres here – and encased in a smooth 16-momme charmeuse silk cover. The result is a pillow that feels soft and cloud-like but still offers enough support to keep your neck and spine aligned.

Just like silk bedding sets, the pillow is naturally hypoallergenic and temperature regulating, so it stays cool and breathable even through warmer nights. I liked how it retained its gentle loft after weeks of use, and the silk casing gives it that extra layer of luxury. It even comes in a cotton drawstring bag to keep it pristine between uses.

This duvet cover from Soak & Sleep feels completely indulgent the moment you touch it – warm and smooth straight out of the packaging, with a telltale fluid drape that makes real silk so distinctive. Made from 19-momme mulberry silk, it feels buttery and cool against the skin, yet surprisingly substantial, too.

The antique silver shade adds an elegant, modern note that works beautifully with neutrals or darker tones. The zip closure is so discreet it took a moment to find, but it keeps the duvet neatly and securely in place all night. It’s a design that feels well thought out – simple, timeless and effortlessly luxurious, with the quality to match.

Slip has long been the go-to for beauty-focused silk accessories including scrunchies and sleep masks, and this scalloped-edge pillowcase takes things up a notch. Made from 22-momme, 6A-grade mulberry silk, it feels luxuriously smooth and cool, helping to reduce sleep creases, frizz and breakage while keeping skin hydrated overnight.

The pink and red stripes are bold but sophisticated – an instant way to lift a neutral bedding scheme. Yes, it’s expensive for a single pillowcase, but if you can stretch, buy a pair: the on-trend colour combination and scalloped trim will transform your bed into something seriously special. With its sleek invisible zip and impeccable finish, it’s easy to see why this beauty-focused pillowcase has earned its spot in our best silk bedding roundup.

Of all the silk bedding I tested, this one feels the most substantial – there’s a lovely weight to the Dorma duvet cover that gives it a sense of durability and quality straight away. Despite that, it’s still exquisitely smooth and fluid, draping beautifully over the bed and catching the light in a way that gives it a subtle play of shade and shine.

The silver tone adds to that sense of quiet luxury, making it feel calm and polished without being overly glossy. It’s also reliably machine washable, which makes caring for it surprisingly easy – for pure silk. Classic Dorma through and through – refined, timeless and beautifully made.

It’s easy to assume a silk-filled duvet will feel too light to be cosy, but this one quickly proves otherwise. Even at a mid-range 6-7 tog, it feels luxuriously warm and cocooning thanks to its mulberry silk filling, which naturally regulates temperature and traps heat gently without the bulk.

The textured 300 thread count cotton casing feels beautifully smooth and gives the whole duvet a high-end finish, while the diamond stitching keeps the fill perfectly in place. It’s light, breathable and incredibly comfortable – a versatile layer that works just as well through cooler nights as it does in spring and summer.
