Why choose silk pajamas over cotton or linen?

For young and old alike, nothing beats deep, restful sleep. Drift to the land of your dreams, re-align your body and refresh your mind for the next morning, a well-deserved rest at the end of a long day. So the best sleep is the result of choosing the best pajamas that keep your body comfortable and you can focus on total relaxation. However, do you know why silk pajamas are chosen over cotton or linen?

We know cotton fabric is naturally light, breathable and soft to the touch, which means it won't irritate the skin. However, cotton provides poor insulation, and without a thick blanket, you may feel cold in winter. Its breathable properties are great for keeping you cool during the warmer months, however, cotton is generally inefficient at wicking moisture, so if you're prone to night sweats, this may not be the most comfortable material for you. Linen has the best breathability and is said to sweat 1.5 times less than when wearing cotton. The downside, however, is that linen tends to wrinkle and wrinkle, and it gets dirty easily. By contrast, silk pajamas are known for their versatility and durability, and are the preferred choice for cotton and linen. Check out our top 5 reasons why mulberry silk pajamas are best for sleeping and you'll be a convert in no time.

1. Healthy - Are silk pajamas good for you? you bet. Derived from the cocoons of silkworms, the natural substances that protect silkworms are delivered to you as a hypoallergenic fabric that repels dust mites, mold and fungi. The amino acids in silk are also known to promote skin health and support the function of the central nervous system.

2. Silky Luxurious – Most obviously, silk is silky smooth and feels great to the touch. In addition to the other benefits of the fabric, when you put on a mulberry silk robe, you'll feel like royalty. Soothing to the touch and soft as butterfly wings, every day feels like waking up to a spa day in pure silk pajamas.

3. LIGHTWEIGHT BUT DURABLE - 100% silk is very durable despite being extremely light to the touch. Especially when the weight of the silk is around 22mm, the fabric is stronger and more likely to be durable. Silk pajamas are also easy to care for, just lightly hand wash in lukewarm water before drying. For proper silk care, never wash in the washing machine or dry in the dryer.

4. Cool in summer and warm in winter – silk is really a magical fabric. Capable of absorbing up to a third of its weight in water before it feels wet, it wicks away moisture easily, keeping you dry and cool during the warmer months. Plus, thanks to its heat-balancing properties as a natural drape fabric, silk eliminates air pockets and helps absorb body heat in winter, keeping you comfortable year-round.

5.Fun Versatility – Silk pajamas have many uses other than simply being used as pajamas, especially when you try out the designs that ElleSilk has to offer. You'll find yourself comfortable wearing these pajamas when you're hanging out at home. Also, you can wear a longer silk petticoat as a dress. The possibilities are endless!
