LilySilk
Best zero-waste silk bedding
LilySilk
Luxury silk brand LilySilk offers a gorgeous range of both men's and womenswear, but it's the silk bedding range we're most interested in – for both its sumptuously smooth feel and the brand's commitment to sustainability. Operating under a zero-waste ethos, LilySilk's team only makes as many items as they can sell. Any fabric remnants are used to make eye masks and scrunchies.
Pick from either individual separates or a full matching set. This one featured is its luxurious, heavier 25 momme duvet set. For summer, you might want to swap for the lighter 22 momme option instead.

The White Company

The White Company
Nothing says elegance like pure white silk – and The White Company just does classic, chic neutrals so well. With a 19 momme weight, this buttery soft set makes a perfect choice for the warmer season. Oxford corners add some extra smartness.
Soak & Sleep
Soak & Sleep
For a hotel-style look, Soak & Sleep is one of our go-to brands. We're already fans of its luxe high thread count Egyptian cotton bedding range, so naturally its silk offering has made our list as well. This cool silver option looks crisp and feels very modern; it would work especially well for those drawn to using mirrored or glass accents in their interior schemes.
Mix-and-match or, if you buy a full set, there's a modest 5 per cent discount. The brand has five colours to choose from but, if you're looking for a full set, they tend to sell out quickly.

Best dark silk bedding
Gingerlily
Best dark silk bedding
Gingerlily
London-based Gingerlily is dedicated entirely to making the finest silk sheets and sleepwear in only the highest quality Mulberry silk, earning it a solid reputation as one of the top names in silk bedding worldwide. Along with a solid range of duvet sets, the brand has silk filled pillows, toppers and other bedding, plus throws, eiderdowns and face masks.
Our pick? This rich charcoal grey set; guaranteed to elevate your space from bedroom to boudoir.
Mayfair Silk
Mayfair Silk
If maximalism is your style, then what's on offer at Mayfair Silk should be well worth a perusal. The brand has the largest range of patterned silk pillowcases we've seen (including tropical jungle prints and flamingos) – although its duvet sets tend to be a little more subdued.
Nonetheless, it's the most extensive selection of full sets we've seen in a beautiful range of colours. This seafoam green option, available in sizes from double to emperor, is a standout.
Mommesilk
With a seven centimetre flange around the bottom, this elegant offering from Mommesilk drapes so beautifully, finishing off your scheme with an effortless flourish. Right now, the brand is offering good discounts for its eighth birthday, too. This 22 momme duvet cover, available in a choice of six pretty shades, is currently £350 off.
Attention to detail is key here: internal corner ties help the duvet cover stay in place without bunching, and a tidy concealed zip keeps things seamless and elegant.

Best eucalyptus silk bedding
Mela
Best eucalyptus silk bedding
Mela
Now 25% Off
Mela is offering something slightly different, but we think it deserves a place in this round-up. Rather than traditional silk, this bedding has been made from finely spun eucalyptus; giving it a weight equivalent to a 1000 thread count and that same slippery, lightweight sheen we know and love from pure silk.
Eucalyptus requires 10 times less water to grow than cotton and is fully compostable and biodegradable, making it a really sustainable choice. This particular set is also Oeko-Tex certified, meaning its been created without the use of any harmful chemicals whatsoever.
Ethical Bedding
Ethical Bedding
Here's another eucalyptus silk set; again with the moisture-wicking, lightweight benefits that we all need as we head into the warmer months. Ethical Bedding has a smaller colour range to choose from, but it is the most pleasingly-priced offering on our list – under £400 for an emperor-sized duvet cover, sheet and two pillowcases.
Best silk pillowcase
Slip
Best silk pillowcase
Slip
If you prefer the hotel-style look of cotton bedding or the easy-breezy bohemian styling of linen sheets, a silk pillowcase might be all you need to get those hair and skin benefits.
In that case, Slip should be on your radar. The market leading silk pillowcase brand has a wide selection of 100 per cent Mulberry silk cases in a gorgeous range of colours. So, you can add a pop of interest to your bedscape and protect your tresses at the same time. Go pure white to offset your brighter sheets or create a feeling of sumptuousness with something richer and darker.
