Best bed pillow pillowcases according to redditors

I got two of these in August, and I love them so much I just ordered another one. I notice a difference in my hair and skin whenever I don’t sleep on one now. I was wary of the price at first, but this is about as affordable as they come for 100% mulberry silk. I’ve washed mine in the washing machine and line dried and they’re still nice.

I just got this one off Amazon. I like it because one side is silk and the other is cotton so it doesn't slide around at night. It zips up and can be thrown in the washing machine. It also came with a few silk cocoons!

I have Amazon ones, this one specifically to maintain my curls 2nd/3rd day.

A trick that I was told by a hairdresser (because I have curly hair) is buy a satin pillowcase. You can buy one for under 10.00 bucks at Amazon.

You might consider getting a satin pillowcase or sleep cap. The slippery surface musses up your hair less than regular cotton, which is nice for having second-day hair without pillow frizz, and will probably keep your hair from getting all snarled when you sleep.

I have this silk one, which I really like. (The zipper keeps the pillow in the case in nicely.)

Also, if you aren't already, getting your hair cut by someone who specializes in curly hair and can cut your curls to have good separation and movement would likely help. Hair cuts for straight hair can make your curls clump into a single mass, and I think that gets tangled up more easily.

I just ordered one that's silk on one side and cotton on the other so it doesn't slip around. I'd been keeping it my cart on amazon for a while because it just seemed so expensive, but the price dropped a few dollars today so I went for it.

If you want a happy medium, try microfiber pillow cases! You can get a 2-pack on amazon for $9.99. They are smooth but not delicate like satin or silk. 100% recommend.

Pillow cases (just noticed the price is cheaper on standard size: $7.99!)

I would say flannel isn't the best for sensitive skin. I have both these silk ones and these cotton ones and I like both a lot.

Someone already mentioned making sure you have clean pillowcases, which I think is definitely the most important piece.

i use and love these: https://www.amazon.com/Alaska-Bear-Natural-Pillow-non-bleached/dp/B00KDL108M

they're extremely nice and well made imo. i read that mulberry silk is one of the better kinds too.

I bought a ton of pillowcases. You can get a pack like that, keep them in your night stand. Change it, sleep, flip the pillow, sleep, change it again and repeat. Much much easier. ☺️

I own an Alaska Bear mulberry silk pillowcase as well as their silk sleep mask and I love them. The reason it's called mulberry silk is because the silk worms eat only mulberry leaves (at least from what I've seen when I helped out at a silk farm as a kid).

I thought about buying the one with the cotton bottom, but I like to flip my pillowcase after a couple of days, and I've never had issues with it moving around.

Silk is a very soft, light, slippery, and breathable material. I've tried satin before and it makes me sweat. It's like I'm cold and hot at the same time. It's also not as soft and it feels heavier.

I definitely recommend at least buying one and trying it out. I wouldn't spend $100 on something from Nordstrom, though, unless it was made in the US by strapping young men.

You can get a dozen for $23: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XK9CXSA/

No they don’t do that at all! In fact, they get cold and very comfortable. My main issue was that the hair at the back of my neck would get sweaty and tangle badly with regular cotton. Never happens with silk! Look at the benefits of silk for your skin. You never wake up with dents on your skin and it helps improve your overall skin and prevent wrinkles. I swear by silk pillowcases and have gotten some for friends and family and it makes a world of a difference.

I get these from Amazon

They are lots of fakes out there and in the reviews people tested the silk to be real. My personal observation was it performed as real sill should also. They are much less than the hyped Shhh Silk ones that run about $80

soft pillowcases for easy slothie slumbers ☺️✨😴

I opt for satin, same effect. You can find them 2 for $9 on Amazon WITH free one-day prime shipping if you're impatient like me!

I do a pineapple-esque bun on top of my head and sleep on this silk pillowcase.

I would recommend to stop brushing. If you really just want to brush, only do so when soaking wet. Apply your cream (and think about adding a gel or something to hold the curl better) to damp but not wet hair and diffuse or air dry and use a pick to help shape and get volume. As for sleep, try a silk pillow case like [this]

ETA: My favorite products for my hair, which is similar to yours are Cantu Curl Activator and [LA Looks Gel] (https://www.amazon.com/LOOKS-SPORT-XTRME-HLD-Pack/dp/B005JT5XLI/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1518620771&sr=1-2&keywords=la+looks+hair+gel).

So currently, I wash my hair every sunday, then deep condition right after, add in leave in, avocado oil and gel. I co wash in the week (kind of). I only co wash if my hair isnt looking as curly because of sleeping (for some reason when i sleep, my hair looks different, still have some curl partners but not defined at all and yes I sleep with satin pillow case https://www.amazon.com/Spasilk-Beauty-Pillowcase-Standard-Queen/dp/B0070U9GSU). Every so often in the week, I would just use hot water and attempt to style my hair compared to co washing. Would only co wash if the use of water no longer works. TOday is friday, I co washed on Wednesday, added water today, my scalp is itch and dry. I think I have been having this problem for a while now but still cant find a way to fix it. Please help me! I want to get defined curls. So far, I have only been able to get defined curls once. Can't remember what I did but that was with longer hair. I did a buzz cut recently but I have gotten to the point where my hair can curl a bit again.

No problem! I should have included some recommendations. Depending on your budget, here is 1 or 2.

Try a satin pillowcase if you don't want to pin your hair up in something. I have two of these, I don't wake up with a magical perfect halo of curls but it's definitely better than cotton.

I was reading about silk/satin pillowcases last night for hair and skin, and Alaska Bear is a top choice of a few. Lo and behold, this brand has some of their mulberry silk pillowcases on Prime Day sale today (I ended up buying some from their Lightning deal this morning).

idk what momme means, though; still researching that.

Stuff like that, I would say, it's worth investing in.

For all here against Amazon (I understand), see if your local store or favorite e-tailer will price match the products in this thread.

Actually, I understand what you mean about cotton: it just feels perfect in the summer for me. :)

I just noticed that below someone asked the same question and this brand was recommended: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VUDO2Y6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Idk if I’ve seen any difference, but I bought these and they’re really lux, especially when you consider the low cost.

I like spectrum coconut oil, which is carried at whole foods. I use it as an occasional mask when i have some time to let it soak in and then wash it out well at home. any brand will do through!

Whenever I shower, I use head & shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner AS my shampoo, followed by [this mask] (http://www.sephora.com/dont-despair-repair-deep-conditioning-mask-P388628?skuId=1784636&icid2=products%20grid:p388628). When I get out of the shower I use this towel that doesn't break my hair because it's microfiber. Then I rub this camellia oil through my hair with my fingers and lay it on really thick if my hair's looking dry. I don't brush my hair anymore because I'm too afraid of breakage.

I sleep on this pillowcase which has helped to not break my hair as well!

Take fish oil capsules if you aren't already, they will help. Lay off of styling products and take a break from brushing if you can.

haha thanks! It's also a little tricky because you don't get a notification if anyone comments so you've gotta periodically check. Btw my products are on Amazon Prime too, most people find that easier!

I heard slilk or satin, but no idea.

This is on Amazon

Haha omg. So sorry! I was replying to someone else about cushion cases and forgot what context your message was about since I sent it from my inbox.

I purchased this Alaska Bear brand silk pillowcase from Amazon.

I will warn you that they get SUPER dirty looking super fast. Drool, makeup - stains it. I would steer clear from a white silk one because it just looks so gross after like a week haha. I buy this one off of Amazon and end up getting a new one every 3-4 months, so it's not that bad of a deal! Not staticky for me at all. It also feels really nice on my skin :)

I believe this is the one I have. There are a lot more on amazon, than there were when I bought mine. This is a good price and it's really nice. I bought undyed, but I guess the cotton underside is white on all the pillowcases, no matter the color.

About 2 months ago, I got some satin-silk pillowcases from Amazon and I'm never going back! Not only did my hair look and feel better, my skin cleared up! I used to get really bad breakouts on the sides of my face, but after switching pillowcases, not anymore!

These are the ones I use. They're super cheap, but great quality!

piggybacking off of this, fresh pillowcases helped me a lot too! I ended up ordering these for a dozen for around $2/pillowcase on Amazon.

I bought these on prime day and they have helped me change my pillowcase more often!
