The Bedsure Satin Pillowcase is a budget-friendly favourite that's gained a cult following online, largely thanks to its reported beauty benefits and affordable price tag.

With two pillowcases in every pack, shoppers can upgrade their bedtime routine for just a few dollars per pillowcase, thanks to the current Bedsure deal.
What are the beauty benefits of silk and satin pillowcases?
Compared to their cotton alternatives, silk and satin pillowcases create less friction on your hair, which results in less unwanted frizz, tangles and bedhead.
In addition to their title as an overnight hair hack, silk and satin pillowcases are popular anti-aging tools. Their smooth fabric creates less tugging and creases on the skin, which is beneficial for wrinkles and sensitivity.
Silk or satin: Which pillowcase is for me?
While silk pillowcases are often in the limelight, satin pillowcases bring their own beauty benefits to the table.
Like silk, satin pillowcases help to reduce friction between your hair and your pillow and are similarly hypoallergenic, breathable, and good for the skin.
The main difference between silk and satin pillowcases is the cost. While some silk pillowcases can run upwards of $100, satin pillowcases are noticeably less expensive and easier to clean.
What people are saying
While Rapunzel's haircare routine remains lost with the Brothers Grimm, more than 150,000 Amazon shoppers laud these satin pillowcases as their own fairytale beauty secret.
Simply put, these pillowcases are "life-changing," writes one reviewer. I have seen a "noticeable difference" in my hair, and they are "so smooth and comfortable to sleep on."

It's the "best accessory for hair and skin EVER," writes a third shopper. Say goodbye to "flat spots" and "messy morning hair." Plus, they help "keep your skin wrinkle-free!"
While the $11 pillowcases have earned an average rating of 4.4 stars or higher for comfort, softness and quality, some shoppers note they can be quite "slippery."
At first, "my head was sliding off" my pillow and "jerking me awake," writes one reviewer. But it just goes to show how much friction "my hair was used to." Fast forward a few weeks, and they're "definitely worth every penny."
The pillowcases are "very slippery!" echos another, so much so that they kept slipping off the bed.
The verdict
With more than 150,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers can't get enough of these budget-friendly satin pillowcases. However, while most shoppers agree the pillowcases are "life-changing" and "so comfortable," some note they can be "slippery," something to keep in mind when placing your order.
