We’re all about sleep as self-care, and when it comes to finding ways to spruce up your snoozing throne, options abound. From cooling sheets and effortlessly chic linens to eco-friendly organic bedding, there are all kinds of ways to make even the most basic bedroom feel like a five-star hotel. But if you’re looking for ultimate luxe bed dressing, nothing beats the soft comfort of silk sheets, an ancient and natural fiber choice that’s got some surprising benefits—like thermoregulation and moisture-wicking—beyond its, well, silkiness.
The Best Silk Sheets at a Glance
How We Chose the Best Silk Sheets
After spending hours researching the types of silk on the market and what makes quality sheets, we pored over reviews and sought editor recommendations to uncover the top 24 silk sheet sets on the market. From there, we culled the list further, focusing on sheets known for their (a) softness, (b) durability, (c) breathability, if lightweight, and heft, if a heavier weight, (d) quality (giving preference to those with A ratings and 19 to 30 momme levels*) and (e) value—not in terms of the cheapest silk you can buy, but affordable options that still felt luxurious, according to reviewers.
*For even more insights into what to look for when shopping for silk sheets—including a breakdown of momme levels and A through C ratings for silk, along with the best ways to launder and care for them—see the FAQ's at the bottom of this story.

The 13 Best Bamboo Sheets (All of Which are Super Soft)
The Best Silk Sheets, Based on Editor Research & Reviews
1. Mulberry Park Silk Sheet Set
These supple sheets tick all the boxes—they are 100 percent, 6A-rated, 22-Momme Mulberry silk sheets, meaning they feel insatiably soft, with a nice sheen and decent heft. What's more, they're made without a seam to snag or a chemical additive used during manufacturing to irritate sensitive skin. The charmeuse finish is shiny without looking like a polyester imitation, and the subtle seven shades—including rose quartz, sand and silver—will coordinate with any color scheme you’ve already got going on in your boudoir. (These sheets are so pretty, you’ll never want to pull a comforter over top of these.)
2. Quince Mulberry Silk Flat Sheet
Oh, Quince. Our editors became hooked on this brand for its well-made yet reasonably priced clothes, and that marriage of (relatively) affordable quality extends to its home line. This hypoallergenic Mulberry silk sheet is 22 momme, providing great heft, and it's OEKO-TEX certified, so it's been tested to ensure it's free of harmful chemicals. The only snag? This is just the flat sheet; the set is currently sold out.
3. Zimasilk Mulberry Silk Bed Sheet Set
This sheet set costs half of what some comparable brands run, but they're still pretty high quality (19-momme Mulberry silk) and color (six rich shades including peacock blue, we see you) that you want. They still aren’t exactly a budget purchase, but remember, silk is so strong, this is an investment in years of future great sleep.
4. Gingerlily Silk Solid Collection
At $500 per sheet, these London-designed sheets are a serious investment. But if you have the budget, you'll appreciate their distinctive Old World elegance and craftsmanship—as well as just plain gorgeousness. Long-strand Mulberry silk is woven into nude, ivory, charcoal and similarly restrained shades that promise to puddle fetchingly around you as you pose in bed, or lean back on one of the elegantly flanged pillow shams.
5. Lunya Silk Duvet Cover
When you want the biggest bang for your buck, you may want to stick to silk pillowcases and a duvet cover (many people we spoke to complain that silk fitted sheets tear easily as you toss and turn). With this Lunya duvet cover, you'll get the sensual feel, softness and sheen, but you could pair it with more affordable satin or cotton sheets.
6. Thxsilk Silk Duvet Cover & Sheet Set
When shopping for silk sheets, you might be disappointed to find that many designers create their luxe goods only in queen and king sizes. So you’ll be thrilled that these sheets come in California king, as well as twin, full, queen and king. They also come in ten irresistible shades, including the best red we’ve seen this side of a Chanel lipstick.
7. Orose Charmeuse Silk Sheet Set
These 25-momme sheets have a heavier, denser weight and come in eight satiny colors, including a steel grey and rich plum. A generous 16-inch pocket on the fitted sheet will fit most mattresses—even ones with toppers—and at $659, you'll also receive a top sheet and two pillowcases. "I know they’re expensive, but if I knew what I was missing all my life I would have purchased them years ago! They’re WONDERFUL," raved one Amazon reviewer, who shared that sleeping in the sheets while wearing silk pajamas is "like sleeping in heaven."
8. Lilysilk Duvet Cover Set
One hundred percent Grade A, 19-momme silk is lightweight and temperature-regulating enough to be comfortable for hot sleepers. Available in nine colors and a wide range of sizes, it also makes for a great wedding gift, especially since you can get it monogrammed for a more personal touch. Reviewers rave about Lilysilk's fast shipping, but even more so, the "luxurious" feel of the silk and how it prevents hair from tangling as you sleep.
(Worth noting: This set features a seamless duvet cover and two pillowcases, so you can either pair it with a matching fitted sheet or coordinate with a sheet that’s currently in your bedding collection.)
