It's the little things that make life special: a great cup of coffee, sunny weather, a pretty view out the kitchen window. Our list would also include falling asleep on a luxuriously smooth satin pillowcase. Amazon's No. 1 bestselling Bedsure Satin Pillowcases are 50% off — down to just $6 a pair — during the retailer's Memorial Day sale.
While almost all colors of these bestselling pillowcases are on sale for less than $10, a lot are marked as low as $6 — a bargain by just about any measure. The pillowcases look a lot more luxe than their low price tag would suggest, and they'll instantly elevate the feel of your bed.

Yes, they're super-soft and silky smooth, but these satin pillowcases can also benefit your hair and skin. The material doesn't pull at your face or scalp like most cotton pillowcases. That can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles and even reduce hair breakage and frizz while you're sleeping.
Jen Atkin, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Ouai products, explained it this way for Cosmopolitan: "Cotton absorbs moisture, while silk retains it, so when you lie on a silk or satin pillowcase, the oils from your strands are maintained rather than soaked up, leaving your hair nourished rather than dry. This is especially beneficial for hair types that are prone to frizz, such as coarse hair types or girls who have wiry curls.”
The ultra-smooth pillowcases have an envelope-style closure, so your pillows won’t pop out even if you move around a lot in your sleep. And they're machine-washable, making them super easy to clean. They come in five sizes — including one for body pillows! — and well over 30 colors, so it'll be a breeze to find an option (or two, or three) to go with your bedding.
No wonder over 227,000 shoppers have given Bedsure pillowcases their five-star seal of approval.
"These satin pillowcases are simply the best!" said one shopper. "Not only do they keep your hair neat and nonfrizzy in the morning, but they also work wonders for maintaining smooth skin without lines and wrinkles. If you're a side sleeper like me, these satin pillows are a must-have. I tend to press my face hard on the pillow while I sleep, which used to create ugly lines on my face in the morning. These pillowcases have made a significant difference. Highly recommend for a restful and beauty-friendly night's sleep!"
Another agreed, writing: "I would wake up with extremely dry and brittle hair, resulting in breakage. I thought it was the haircare products I was using. No matter how much I switched products, I would have the same issue. I eventually came by this pillowcase and saw that it should help with hair breakage. I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. My hair retains moisture much longer and does not break as easily since I started using this pillowcase. My hair is stronger and my face feels better as well."
"No bed head or wrinkles," reported a five-star fan. “This satin pillowcase keeps my hair from being a mess in the morning and prevents wrinkling and facial lines. Cotton pillows always left marks and lines on my face, and this satin pillowcase eliminates all that. Inexpensive satin pillowcase outperforms 400-count cotton pillowcases at a fraction of the cost."
"Hair and skin savers," said a fourth reviewer. "As I got older, I noticed my hair becoming thinner and thinner. I take hair vitamins, use top-quality hair products and still it was breaking off. I decided to try sleeping on these after reading about their benefits to hair and skin ... I have to say that I have had a huge difference in both my hair and my face. No more pillowcase face wrinkles in the morning and my hair isn't in a rat's nest. The breakage has improved dramatically!"
Some shoppers shared that the satin fabric wrinkles post-wash or after sleeping. So do many cotton pillowcases, of course — but it's something to keep in mind nonetheless.
"I've been using satin pillows for hair and skin benefits and these work well. They aren’t very aesthetically pleasing as they are prone to wrinkling," shared one buyer. "If you're looking for the benefits that they reap then I definitely recommend! If you’re looking for style purposes, I’d definitely go for something more expensive or perhaps silk."
"Always cool to lay on at bedtime. [But] they do wrinkle a lot," added another. "If that's something that concerns you, maybe try something else." (Hey, better the fabric than your skin!)
