Ree Drummond gifted her daughter Alex one of these pillowcases! "It's SO soft," Alex said. "I will say it has made my skin and hair feel softer, because I'm a really, really violent sleeper. So I would recommend. It's really kind of life-changing, honestly." According to the retailer, this 100% silk option is clinically proven to improve the hydration, texture, and smoothness of your skin while adding radiance. It also has anti-aging qualities and will work to reduce hair damage.

No more creases on your face! This skin-friendly pillowcase is washable and smooth with over 26,000 reviews—and at less than $20, it's practically a steal. Along with regulating your body temperature, the silk derived from domesticated silkworms contains 18 amino acids to improve and hydrate your skin. As for your hair, the pillowcase is said to reduce friction by 43% on average and has natural proteins to minimize split ends and dryness. A hidden zipper adds to the appeal.

Looking for something extra luxurious? Opt for a mulberry silk pillowcase, which is the one of the highest quality fabrics you can buy. This one is made of 100% pure mulberry silk that comes from silkworms fed an exclusive mulberry leaf diet. That makes this pick incredibly versatile, with an all-weather, breathable fabric that'll keep you cool in the summer and temperate in the winter. Not to mention, the fabric lacks friction so it won’t leave lines, or cause damage to skin and hair.

It's made of a satin polyester blend, not silk, but this #1 best selling pillowcase with an envelope closure offers nearly all of the same benefits as its silky counterparts. And it's got thousands of glowing reviews, too. "Life changing!" reads one review. "I have seen a noticeable difference in my hair in the mornings and overall they are so smooth and comfortable to sleep on." It's gentle on sensitive skin and will protect your face and hair from scratches, creases, and tugs, and will help to reduce split ends, too.

Goodbye, boring pillowcases! This 16-momme mulberry silk option comes in more than a dozen other patterns so you can give your bedroom just as much of a refresh as your hair and skin. You'll get all the usual benefits as well like an ultra soft and breathable feel. This one has anti-aging properties and reduces friction to prevent facial wrinkles and keep your hair from knotting as you sleep. It's finished off with a hidden zipper design.

Breakage-prone hair may have met its match in this 22-momme silk pillowcase. By preventing the tugging of usual pillowcases, your locks will be less frizzy and healthier than ever. Plus, the non-absorbent surface helps to maintain your hair and skins naturally producing oils meaning it's also working to fight wrinkles, dryness, and acne. And there's something so fun about this tie-dye pattern—and the fact that it's imprinted on a hypoallergenic fabric with thermo-regulating powers just makes it even better.

This breathable, hypoallergenic case boasts a 25-momme fabric (which experts say is the cream of the crop). So as you sleep, it's reducing the friction that leads to frizz, breakage, and hair loss. Additionally, it can help reduce puffiness and morning wrinkles by ensuring your face products and natural oils stay on your skin and not on your pillowcase. It's temperature regulating to keep you comfy, has a hidden zippered closure, and is easy to wash by hand or in the machine. Not to mention, that teal is Ree's favorite color!

Here's an alternative to silk that's more sustainable and cruelty-free! This pillowcase is made from bamboo, which has a similar texture to silk and offers that same soft, smooth feeling. It's especially good for hot sleepers, since bamboo is breathable and thermo-regulating. You'll also get many of the same benefits like anti-static comfort, properties that work to ensure tangle-free hair, a gentleness for sensitive skin, and moisture absorbency that keeps both your hair and skin healthier.
