Proof that Satin Pillowcases Work

This morning when I woke up I realized that my pillow with the satin pillowcase had somehow fallen off the bed in the night, resulting in my having slept on a -- gasp! -- regular cotton pillowcase. Sure enough, the hair on the back of my head was tangled and rough. Arrrrgh! I've gotten spoiled by the satin; since using it my hair hasn't tangled much at all in the night.

So if you're hesitating to get a satin pillowcase, my advice is Don't! Working those tangles out this morning nearly broke my heart.

Re: Proof that Satin Pillowcases Work

I know!I've noticed the difference too.I don't use satin though.I use a large piece of some other type of material that lets my hair slide around and cover my pillow with it.Cotton seems too scratchy.Bleah!

Re: Proof that Satin Pillowcases Work

So true. MaryH, I've found that putting a flannel or jersey pillowcase under the satin one means that it doesn't slide off during the night.

Re: Proof that Satin Pillowcases Work

Esme- I do the same thing. I have a small flannel pillow that I put under my satin cased feather pillow. Gives me just enough heighth and doesn't slide all over.

Now if I could just get in the habit of not using my cotton blanket as a pillow while I'm sleeping. I may just have to break down and get a satin comforter too.

Re: Proof that Satin Pillowcases Work

Great tip, Esme! Now I can see why you're a guru....I was wondering how to prevent this from happening again. I'll give it a try.

The Princess and the Pea analogy went through my mind as I was writing the thread. People might think we're crazy, yes? Before LHC, if anyone had told me I'd be fretting about a pillowcase and tangles on the back of my head I'd have said they were cuckoo.
