Satin Pillow Cover

Satin pillow covers: smooth, cool-to-touch comfort for hair and skin

Swapping cotton for satin is one of the simplest changes you can make to your bed. The first night, you notice how smooth it feels; by the morning, you notice how easily your head glides across it. Soft Souls satin pillow covers come in sets of two, in deep and soft colours, and are easy to care for at home.

What makes satin different

Satin is a weave in which threads float over several others before tucking under. The result is a long, smooth surface with a soft sheen. That smoothness is the whole point: there is very little texture for hair or skin to catch on.

Satin can be woven from different fibres. We list the fibre of every satin pillow cover in its Material Passport, so a satin cover is never confused with silk. Each product lists its weave in its Material Passport, and we never call satin silk.

Why people choose satin pillow covers

• Less friction. Hair and skin glide over satin rather than rubbing against it as you turn. Many people with long, curly or chemically treated hair prefer satin for this reason.
• Cool to the touch. Satin feels cool when you first lie down, which many people enjoy on warm nights.
• Smooth, soft feel. Satin feels silky against the face.
• Easy care. Satin is much easier to wash and look after than silk.
• Looks finished. The sheen gives your bed a neat, dressy look.

We describe how satin feels rather than promising results for skin or hair, because everyone is different.

Satin pillow covers for hair

Satin pillow covers are popular with people trying to reduce morning frizz, tangles and flattened curls, and with anyone who has spent time styling their hair. A smooth surface means less tugging through the night. Pair your satin pillow cover with a satin bedsheet for a fully smooth bed.

Sizes and sets

Our satin pillow covers come in sets of two and fit standard pillows. Check your pillow size against the cover dimensions on each product. Our satin pillow covers fit 18 × 28 in pillows, close with an envelope flap and come in sets of two.

Colours

Satin shows colour beautifully. Choose soft shades like light pink and light green for a fresh bedroom, or rich tones like teal and wine for depth. Stripe designs add subtle texture. Colours include teal, green, pink and wine.

Caring for satin pillow covers

• Wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, or hand wash
• Turn the cover inside out before washing
• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach
• Keep away from rough fabrics, zips and hooks
• Dry in the shade, and iron on the lowest setting if needed

Having two sets lets you change covers often while keeping one set fresh.

Satin or silk?

Both feel smooth and glide under hair and skin. The differences are practical:

• Material. Silk is a natural fibre from silkworms. Satin is a weave, often made from synthetic fibre.
• Care. Satin can usually go in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Silk usually needs hand washing or a delicate cycle and flat drying.
• Durability. Satin generally copes better with frequent washing.
• Price. Satin costs considerably less than genuine silk.

If you want the smooth feel and plan to wash your covers often, satin is the practical choice. If you want a natural fibre and don't mind extra care, choose silk.

Getting the most from satin

• Keep two sets. Swap covers once or twice a week while one set is in the wash.
• Match your sheet. A satin bedsheet in the same colour gives a smooth surface from head to toe.
• Take one when you travel. A cover folds small and slips over a hotel or guest pillow.
• Tie long hair loosely. A loose plait or bun keeps hair tidy through the night.

Two satin ranges in one place

This category holds both of our satin pillow covers. Our everyday satin covers come in teal, light green, light pink and a striped wine. Our premium satin silk covers are woven at 600 thread count, a denser satin with a richer sheen, in rose gold, pink, green and teal. "Satin silk" describes the feel and finish: these covers are a satin weave, not mulberry silk. Every set holds two covers for 18 × 28 inch pillows, with an envelope closure.

Which satin cover should you choose?

Choose everyday satin for a smooth surface at a lower price, or to keep several sets in rotation. Choose 600 TC satin silk for a denser weave, a fuller sheen, or a gift. Our silk pillow covers guide explains how satin silk compares with real mulberry silk.

Satin pillow cover questions

Will it fit a 15 × 22 inch pillow? It will go on, but it will be loose. These covers are cut for 18 × 28 inch pillows.

Do they match your satin bedsheets? Our satin bedsheets come with their own matching covers; use these covers for extra pillows or for a contrast colour.
