Why Silk Bedding Won't Slide Off Your Bed

One of the main benefits of silk bedding is that it has very little friction, causing less ‘frizzy bed head’ and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. However, one of the primary concerns people have about silk bedding is the thought of getting in one side and sliding right out the other. I’m here to tell you that 1, that really just doesn’t happen and 2, if it has happened to someone it’s more than likely ‘silky satin’, a totally different and colossal beast for another day. 

As for slide-y silk bedding, if you find that there is too much movement for you, here are some tips:

High-Quality Silk

High-Quality Silk bedding often has a specific weight and weave that further enhances its stability. The momme of the silk—the unit of measurement used for the weight of the silk—is an important factor. Our silk bedding is all 25 momme. Silk beddings with a higher momme weight tend to be denser and less prone to sliding. Additionally, the weave pattern of silk sheets is designed to optimise both comfort and grip, ensuring they stay in place.

Proper Sizing and Tight Fitting

Make sure your silk sheets are the right size for your bed. We currently stock UK Double, King Size and Super King Size. Our fitted silk sheets have a depts of 35cm and are fully elasticated to help the stay in place. The silk duvet covers have eight internal ties to keep the duvet in place all night long.

Weighted Duvet:

Use a heavier duvet or comforter on top of your silk duvet cover. The additional weight can help hold the duvet in place, especially during movement.

People have a tendency to overdramatise the image of the sliding about in silk sheets. Writing from experience, you’re not going to wake up in a pile on the floor. I’ve had three dogs push me to the side of my silk duvet and bed sheet and we’ve all woken up in situ in the morning. Honestly, you’ll be fine.
