You might be wondering, why choose a silk sleep mask over satin? It's a fair question, one that I also had myself. When I was exploring and researching the best fabric type for this collection, I looked into and tried a range of satin sleep masks. I wanted to delve deeper into the fundamental differences and here is what I found out:
At the base level, silk and satin are completely different fabrics. Modern satin is usually made from polyester, nylon, acetate and other synthetic fibers. Silk on the other hand, is a natural protein fiber made from silkworms.
Silk carries hypoallergenic properties whereas satin doesn't. Silk is also naturally resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew making it the go to choice for those of us with allergies.
There are also vast differences between moisture retention, silk can help keep your skin hydrated through the night, which is why it is beneficial to help with reducing fine lines around your eyes.
Silk sleep masks offer superior benefits in terms of allergen resistance and skin hydration, making them a better choice over satin.
