Did you know that the average person spends more than 25 years sleeping? That's nearly one-third of our entire lives! With so much time spent in bed, we might as well make it comfy—and that's where a silk pillowcase comes in.
If you're like most people, you probably rely on the cotton or synthetic pillowcases that are always included in a standard sheet set. There's nothing wrong with these, of course, but a simple upgrade could change the way you sleep forever. Ree Drummond gifted oldest daughter Alex a silk pillowcase for Christmas and, in addition to being totally cute, it's super practical.
"I've had this for a couple weeks now, my mom got it for me for Christmas," Alex shared in an Instagram story showing off her new silk pillowcase. "It's SO soft."
While there are plenty of different options out there, the one Alex uses is from a popular brand called Silk. According to the SLIP Silk pillowcase's product description, it provides "the ultimate combination of shine, thickness, softness and durability."
Silk's tagline is "Anti aging. Anti sleep crease. Anti bed head." This is a promise that Alex can actually attest to after just a few short weeks.
"I will say it has made my skin and hair feel softer, because I'm a really, really violent sleeper," she explained. "So I would recommend. It's really kind of life-changing, honestly."
In short, don't sleep on silk pillowcases. Wait, no—you should literally sleep on a silk pillowcase. We just mean you shouldn't underestimate them. Oh, you get the point!
