“We’re passionate about helping people create a sleep environment that supports overall wellness,” says Cosenza. “Sometimes even a simple swap—like switching to a silk pillowcase—can make a noticeable difference in comfort.
“Differences in fiber makeup, feel, thread count, and weave have a huge impact on our comfort as we sleep,” Cosenza explains in the article. She highlights silk bedding as a standout option for temperature regulation due to the fiber’s natural ability to manage moisture and airflow.
Unlike many synthetic fabrics that can trap heat, silk works with the body’s natural temperature regulation. Silk can absorb and release humidity efficiently, helping prevent the damp or sticky feeling hot sleepers often experience throughout the night.
The article also explores how sleep position can influence bedding choices. For side sleepers—who tend to press their face and hair against pillows throughout the night—smooth fabrics like silk can help reduce friction against both skin and hair. According to Cosenza, gentler textiles may help minimize sleep lines and reduce friction-related frizz or tangling.
While the article focuses on hot sleepers, it also highlights several additional sleep-supportive habits recommended by Cosenza, including maintaining a slightly cool bedroom environment, regularly washing bedding with a gentle detergent, and establishing a consistent nighttime wind-down routine.
