Below outlines why sleeping on quality SilkyHead Silk is the perfect option for your family's health and comfort.

Hair

Silk is the perfect sleep surface and the solution to combating frizzy tangly bed hair. The reason Remy&Co was started was to offer the amazing benefits of Silk to our precious babies and their delicate hair and skin. Though we've since decided its just as great for the whole family.

Due to its silky, smooth texture, hair is able to glide across Silk with little to no friction which avoids the pulling and tangling of fine, delicate hairs that lead to breakage.

This helps to prevent baby bald spots and also allows more of those fine hairs to grow with out being damaged. With less friction hair stays smoother and reduces frizz.

Because of silks natural moisture wicking abilities it also helps to preserve your hairs natural moisture and oils.

Skin

You can help keep your skin hydrated by sleeping on silk. Due to the tightly woven, smooth fibers of silk, It won't strip your skin of its natural moisture and oils. This is  beneficial for those who suffer from eczema and other dry skin conditions.

Another added benefit of sleeping on Silk is the reduction in facial creases! Not only because your skin isn't being stripped of those precious oils and moisture but because Silk is so soft your skin will literally glide across the pillow rather than pulling and tugging against other fibers. This helps to reduce the creases being pressed on your face as you sleep, especially for side and stomach sleepers.

Sleeping on Silk also allows all of your expensive facial creams to remain where they belong, on your skin! Instead of being soaked up in to the fabric of your pillowcase like can happen with cotton.

Hypoallergenic

A great hidden benefit of silk is that it is naturally hypoallergenic. Due to the natural proteins in Silk, it resists the growth of mould, mildew and fungi. A protein present in Silk called sericin repels pests and mites and because dust mites are one of the leading triggers of allergies, sleeping on silk can offer some respite to those horrible symptoms.

Because of the long, soft fibers of silk it is naturally non-abrasive which makes it the ideal comfortable sleeping surface for those with sensitive skin and those prone to dry, itchy skin.

Temperature Regulating & Breathable

Silk is a natural fibre and has natural heat regulation. It helps to regulate your body temperature and will help you stay cool in summer and warm in winter. 

Silk wicks away extra moisture, so when you are hot it will keep you cool and dry. In colder weather silk’s low conductivity and structure means that the fiber is able to create a thin layer of insulation which will keep you nice and warm.

Keep comfortable in every season!
