Ahh… bedtime. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Although it would be a million times nicer if my husband and I didn’t have to sleep on a sofa bed. We gave our kids the bedroom (we only have one in our condo) when they were little. We’ve been sleeping on a sofa bed for 22 years. Sigh…
I love to sleep. I could easily sleep for 12+ hour straight every day if my husband didn’t wake me up (intentionally – I have work and I don’t want to waste my weekends sleeping). I’ve had a lot of blood work done over the years. Technically there is nothing wrong with me health-wise. I just enjoy sleeping.
I can’t do much about what I sleep ON every night, with one exception – bedding.
My husband and I have a variety of sheets and bedding that we use year round. We have plush, fuzzy bedding for the winter, and lighter bedding for the hot and sticky months. We swap out our bedding depending on the weather/season, as well as when we do the laundry.
Did you know that you can get some added beauty benefits when you are sleeping? I’m not talking about supplements or beauty products – I’m talking about bedding with beauty benefits. Let me explain…
Silk pillow cases have shown to have added benefits, aside from looking luxurious and feeling nice.
Did you know that sleeping on a silk pillow case causes less friction on your hair, which in turn can cause less knots, less breakage and helps with the frizzies. Another words, you’re “bedhead” hair won’t look that bad if you slept on a silk pillow case.
Sleeping on a silk pillow case can also prevent wrinkles. It can’t prevent you from aging (I wish!) but it can prevent you from waking up in the morning and finding all those marks left on your face from the bumps and folds of your traditional pillow case fabrics. Yes, those wrinkles do disappear as your morning goes on, but repeating those pillow case wrinkles night after night can cause your skin to actually wrinkle (the kind that will never go away…unless you opt for a face lift).
Sleeping on a silk pillow case, and even silk sheets, causes less friction on your skin, causing less irritation. Silk sheets can help minimize itching too.
There are many benefits to sleeping on silk bedding. If you do a Google search you’ll find them. I’m just going off what I’ve read over the years.
If you are interested in learning more about silk bedding, check out the brand Mulberry Park Silks.

Did you know that a silk pillowcase nourishes and protects your skin while you sleep? Silk is excellent for skin conditions including acne, allergies, dermatitis, and sensitive skin of any kind. Silk helps retain natural moisture, prevents bedhead and tangles, and minimizes those dreaded morning face creases! It’s perfect for regulating your temperature no matter the season for any age (the brand offers terrific crib sheets, too!).

The brand was kind enough to send me a pillow case to review. The one I received is gray in color. I wanted something somewhat neutral in color to go with most of our bedding. I thought black might attract cat hair, and I’m not a fan of white bedding.
The brand went all out creating a beautiful presentation. When you purchase a pillow case, it comes in a lovely box. When you open the box you’ll find that your pillow case is lovingly wrapped up in tissue paper. You’ll also find directions on how to care for your silk pillow case.
I’ve been sleeping on mine for a few weeks now. It’s true what they say – my hair looks so much nicer when I wake up in the morning. I don’t have to struggle combing knots out like I used to. I might find a little knot here and there, but nothing like what I used to have in the morning. Just a while ago I combed my hair and I had one small knot in the back of my hair.
It’s true what they say about the face wrinkles too. I don’t want up with lines and creases (from the pillow case, not aging) when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning.
My photos were taking when I first receive the pillow case (before it was washed) which is why you see the fold lines. Once you wash it, the lines disappear. I should have taken the photos AFTER I washed it.
Sleeping on silk is a luxurious feeling. I feel like I should be sleeping at a fancy hotel, not on a horrible sofa bed.
Mulberry Park Silks has more than just pillow cases. They have all you need for an amazing night’s sleep, from pillow cases to sheets, and from duvets to baby bedding.
If you would like to experience the luxury, or benefits, of sleeping on silk bedding, check out Mulberry Park Silks online at MulberryParkSilks.com. You can also find the brand on social media. Their links are found on the bottom of their website.
These would also make a great gift this holiday season, as well as for newlyweds, new home owners, and for birthdays.
