7 Reasons Your Pillowcase Matters More to Your Hair Than You Think

You protect your hair before bed. Then it spends the next eight hours against one surface most routines ignore.

Because your hair routine does not end when you fall asleep

1

Bedtime feels like the end of your routine. Your hair still has hours of contact ahead of it.

You turn, adjust the pillow, and change position. Your hair presses, shifts, and moves against the surface beneath it.

Hair condition, humidity, pressure, and movement all matter. But the pillowcase is one variable you can change without adding another treatment, bottle, or step.

Repeated contact and movement contributes to tangling, flattening, frizz, and morning disruption.

A smooth silk surface is designed to help reduce one source of overnight friction. It changes the surface beneath your hair instead of adding more work to the bathroom shelf.

Change the pillowcase. Let the smoother surface work while you sleep.

The real benefit is the work you may not have to repeat.

Less detangling. Less re-wetting. Less refreshing flattened sections or reaching for more product before breakfast.

A smoother nightly surface can help protect the starting point you already created.

Your face spends those same hours pressed and moving against the pillow. That contact creates sleep creases.

As skin loses elasticity with age, repeated sleep creases becomes more persistent over time.

BodyComfortCo's smooth silk surface is designed to reduce facial drag, help reduce the look of sleep creases, and reduce unnecessary skincare transfer.

One smoother surface supports both sides of your nighttime routine.

Because satin does not mean silk

Silk is a fiber. Satin is a weave.

A satin surface can be made from silk, polyester, or another fiber. Many pillowcases sold simply as satin are made from polyester, a synthetic, plastic-based fiber.

BodyComfortCo uses genuine mulberry silk for the sleeping surface, not plastic-based polyester. When it touches your hair and skin for eight hours every night, the fiber matters.

If you want silk, buy silk.

BodyComfortCo uses 100% mulberry silk on both sides. Mulberry silk comes from Bombyx mori silkworms fed mulberry leaves, producing long, fine filaments prized for smooth, consistent fabric.

Grade 6A, a raw-silk designation, and 22 momme, a measure of substantial fabric weight. Unlike plain or twill weaves, satin uses longer surface floats and fewer interlacings to create the smooth, softly lustrous finish you feel against your hair and skin.
