20 best silk bedding sets to slip into every night

Give your boudoir a glamorous update

Spring is on its way and we're hoping that the really cold weather is now over and done with, so it might be time to think about switching your heavy wintery duvet for something a little more cooling. Now, sure, you could go for ol' faithful cotton, but the best sets are still pretty pricey and, come summer, we all know the pain of trying to sleep through a heatwave under your normal bedding. So, what's the solution? Silk bedding.

Hear us out – silk might not jump to the forefront of your mind when you're thinking about investing in a new duvet set but here's why you should reconsider. This completely natural material actually has some impressive thermal control properties. That means that, yes actually, it will keep you nice and toasty in bed in the winter AND then help cool you down in the summer (way more so than cotton). Plus, it's suuuuuper soft.

And there are other pretty decent benefits to sleeping in silk. I mean, tell me that slipping into something so smooth and soft every evening doesn't sound amazing. They look pretty good too. Nothing says sexy like silk, right?

And there are more perks to sleeping in silk bedding...

Silk has some proper beauty benefits as well. The slippier material makes for a really smooth surface to lay your head on, causing less friction than cotton and thus helping fight against wrinkles. This is also kinder on your hair, causing less static and therefore keeping your curls or blowdry looking great for longer.

It also absorbs less moisture than cotton, so it's a healthier choice for acne sufferers – it won't soak up so much grime and oil (ick) and so will keep things more hygienic. It also means it won't absorb your skincare products, so they can stay where they belong – on your face.

Sure, a decent silk bedding set is typically a liiittle on the pricey side, but that's what you get for investing in the best, tbh. Plus, as we've stated, you'll be able to use it year round, making it very good value for money, as well as the envy of your group chat.

So, if you're looking to treat yourself – you deserve it – we've rounded up some of our fave silk sheets to shop right now.

Pure Mulberry Silk Bed Linen

This is a good mid-priced option, so stay alert for when the full bedding bundles are available – it's a decent price for a quality set of silk sheets and it comes in an array of super-cute pastel shades.

If you want to feel like a queen in bed, then this uber-lux set by boujie brand Lilysilk is the one. Sure it's spenny, but do you honestly deserve any less? No, no you do not.

Satin Duvet Cover Set

If you don't have the budget to drop £500+ on a bedding set, we hear you. This satin option on Amazon is just as shiny and glam, but at a bargain price. There are six colours on offer, so you can stock up on several.

Here's another more affordable satin set in the sexiest shade: black. We won't tell anyone it's not real silk if you won't.

Silk Standard Pillowcase

Silk Standard Pillowcase

If you're more interested in the beauty benefits of sleeping on silk than creating a whole vibe in your room, then you only need a pillowcase rather than a full set. We like this John Lewis option and it comes in a large range of pretty shades.

Gingerlily Vintage Pink Silk Bed Linen

Vintage Pink Silk Bed Linen

Here's another more expensive option from luxe brand Gingerlily. Saying that, it is really beautiful and seriously soft, and we don't think you can really put a price on the feeling of sleeping on a cloud. Buy a complete set or mix-and-match colours to create your own vibe.

For something chic, this nude set is the one. Bear in mind that it's only available in king and super-king sizes, though.

Sexy Lip Silk Pillowcase

Sexy Lip Silk Pillowcase

Tbf, silk sheets are pretty extra at the best of times, so you might as well go all out with a fancy patterned pillowcase. We feel like Selling Sunset's Christine Quinn might like this cheeky lippie number.

Slip Marble Silk Pillowcase

Marble Silk Pillowcase

We don't care if the marble interiors trend has been hanging around for years, we're still into it and so we're obsessed with this cool-toned Slip pillowcase. It also comes in seven other equally pretty colours, including a pinky rose gold, a bolder actual gold and a dreamy soft caramel.

The White Company, £50

Looking to create that classic, minimal vibe in your room? Start with some white bedding. When your sheets are this luxe, though, really do your best not to get makeup or fake tan on them, or it'll seriously kill the vibe.

Mulberry Silk Duvet

Mulberry Silk Duvet

So, this is a duvet, rather than a cover. The light 3/4 tog is a great option for the upcoming summer, and thanks to all silk's temperature-regulating, breathable goodness, it will help keep you cool during hot sticky nights without having to open every window in the room (hello mosquitos) and have multiple very noisy fans going all at once.

Luxury Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

Luxury Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

Okay, we know that most of the sheets on this list are on the pricey side. So, if you can't justify shelling out for a full set, a pillowcase or two ensures you'll still get the max beauty benefits at a better price. We've tried and tested this Beauty Pie option and give it our seal of approval – it's seriously smooth, the quality is great and we love the unusual pink and black piped edges.

Pink & Charcoal Silk Duvet Set

You've got everything you need to sleep like a literal, actual queen in this spenny Mayfair set. Plus, unlike lots of the sets featured here, this one comes with a contrasting sheet in cool charcoal grey, making it extra stylish. Tempted? Of course you are – grab it before the sale ends.

Eucalyptus Silk Sheet Set

Eucalyptus Silk Sheet Set

Now here's an option if you like that slinky silky vibe but don't want to spend upwards of £500. Even better? This alternative is super planet-friendly too. Spun from delicate fibres of eucalyptus into a light and super-smooth material, this set gives you all the same hair and skin perks as regular silk, without the associated credit card debt. Eucalyptus is a very fast-growing plant, requires little to no irrigation or pesticides and can grow in relatively dry environments. That's a definite win-win.
