Silk pajama is a type of loungewear that combines both superior comfort and a luxurious feeling. To improve the quality of sleep and relaxation, choosing the right bedding is important.

Silk pajamas are one of the most popular choices for pajamas. Let’s take a closer look at what makes them so appealing.

First, about the material, Silk. Silk is a natural fiber and is characterized by its softness and smooth texture. Silk gently conforms to the skin when touched, providing a comfortable feeling. Silk is also highly breathable and has a great ability to regulate humidity, that so provides a comfortable sleeping experience. Even if you perspire, you will still be able to concentrate on your sleep as it remains dry.

Not only comfort, silk pajamas also have health benefits. Silk is antibacterial, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. Silk also has allergy suppression effects, making it a suitable fabric for people with skin allergy problems. Silk’s smooth surface reduces friction, preventing skin from becoming dry and itchy.

Silk pajamas offer not only health benefits but also beauty benefits. Silk's smooth material reduces friction with hair, which reduces hair damage and prevents messy hair in the morning.

Silk also has a moisturizing effect, preventing your skin from drying out. You should try silk pajamas if you want your skin to stay moisturized when you wake up in the morning.

Care for silk pajamas (making silk pajamas last longer)

Silk pajamas are made of high-quality materials and require proper care to maintain their beautiful texture and comfort to last longer. Here are some tips on how to take care of your silk pajamas.

 

Hand washing is recommended

Silk is a delicate material, so hand washing is recommended. Use lukewarm water and wash gently with neutral detergent. Be careful not to rub too hard or wrinkle them.

Avoid bleach and bleach-containing detergents. Bleach and bleach-containing detergents will damage the silk fiber. We recommend using a detergent specifically designed for silk.

 

Avoid fabric softener

Silk pajamas have a soft texture, but fabric softener coats the fiber, which impairs their softness. Avoiding fabric softener will let you enjoy the natural texture more.

 

Dry in the shade

When drying silk pajamas, hang them in the Shade. Avoid direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight may deteriorate the silk fibers. Gently drying in a well-ventilated place will make the beautiful texture of silk last longer.

 

Iron on low temperature setting

If wrinkled, we recommend using a steam iron. When using an iron, a low temperature setting is recommended. Also, apply steam while covering the ironing area with a cloth such as a handkerchief.

Do not expose the silk fabric directly to the heat of the iron.

 

Clean before storage

When storing silk pajamas for a long period of time, make sure to clean them before storage. Storing silk pajamas dirty may weaken the silk fiber and cause damage.

 

Silk pajamas can be kept beautiful and usable for a long term of time with special care.

Proper hand washing, shade drying, avoiding the use of fabric softener, and ironing at a low temperature setting to keep your precious silk pajamas in good condition.
