Best silk bedding 2026, tried and tested by an interiors editor

Silk bedding has a reputation for luxury, but the best silk bedding offers far more than just a beautiful sheen. The smooth texture is naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature, so it feels cool in summer and warm when the nights turn colder.

It’s also incredibly gentle on skin and hair, thanks to its low friction and hypoallergenic qualities – a practical upgrade as much as an aesthetic one. Plus, investing in silk sheets or a duvet cover can subtly change how a bedroom feels, lending a sense of calm and refinement.

As an interiors editor, I’ve handled countless linens and luxury weaves over the years, and I know the difference between silk that simply looks the part and silk that truly performs. That said, high-quality silk bedding can be expensive, and not every option justifies the price tag.

To help you decide which pieces are genuinely worth investing in, I put a wide range to the test – from more affordable silk blends to the finest mulberry silk. Each of the options featured here stands out for its comfort, craftsmanship and durability, proving that when chosen wisely, silk bedding can be a luxury that lasts.

How I tested

I tested a mix of silk products – from sheets and duvet covers to pillowcases, pillows and blankets – over the course of several weeks. Each piece was used in real-life conditions, washed and re-used, and compared against high-quality cotton percale and linen equivalents to gauge comfort, temperature control and long-term performance.
