PiccoCasa Silk Pillowcases Set of 4, Travel(14"x20"), Fruit Green

I was always hesitant to try silk bedding in any form. I figured it would feel like polyester "satin", because I had never owned silk anything. I'm used to cotton. I also imagined it making me hot/sweaty to lay on. But not only is it smooth and buttery, supposedly silk pillowcases are good for your hair and skin and produce less friction. I don't feel overheated. It is just a little more challenging to care for of a material. Silk is strong when dry but weak when wet and can be easily damaged in a dryer. Make sure to google how to care for silk. I do machine wash mine but hang them to dry. If I wash them in the a.m. they are dry by bedtime. This champagne color is quite a bit more gold/yellow than I pictured it would be, but it's still a nice color. I didn't want white because I was worried it would get lost in my sheets laundry and accidently end up in the dryer. I'm not sure how I feel about the zip closure because usually my pillowcases have an open end. But I was able to fit even a full, fully pillow into the opening and there was some extra room to spare. The photo Im attaching I had not yet washed the pillowcase so it had creases. Washing and hanging to dry reduces the creases.

The silk pillowcases feel great when you lay your head. I had always used pillowcases that came with sheet sets and never tried silk until recently when I got a silk pillowcase as a gift for Christmas. This set came as a 4 pack and I was eager to have more to rotate when I wash my bedding. I don't know how anyone wouldn't love the feel of silk other than it does feel a little cool at first but I love the feel. I'm happy with the fit on my pillow also, I had no issues getting it on and it zipped very easily.
