What's better than clean sheets? Clean silk sheets.

I can't be the only one ready for a nap right about now. The thought of slipping into my best silk sheets for a snooze? It's beyond tempting, but that will have to wait. As far as I’m concerned, once you go silk, you never go back. High-quality bedding is one of the finer things in life, and while that can be reflected in the price tag, you’ll forget what you spent after one night of blissful rest. I’m talking to you hot sleepers and allergy sufferers in particular. If you’re looking for a remedy that works, you simply must give the cooling, hypoallergenic magic of these sheets a chance. Scroll on for 16 of the best silk (or silk-adjacent) sheets to sleep on ASAP. Sweet dreams!

LilySilk is a well-respected brand specializing in silken products from eye masks to menswear. While $500 might sound like a lot for sheets, it's actually a great deal for a four-piece set made from high-quality silk.

What people are saying: "If you’re looking for high-quality silk products, LilySilk is exactly what you need. They are the best. Over time, I have purchased many products from LilySilk and I have always been very satisfied with them."

A fitted silk sheet is one of the most game-changing bedding items. For those who don't use a top sheet, or are only looking to test out sleeping on silk, I’d recommend starting from the bottom (sheet).

For those who don't know, genuine Mulberry silk sheets are given a "Momme" value indicative of quality. Consider it the silken equivalent of thread count. Most sheets you’ll find will fall somewhere between 19 to 25 Momme.

What people are saying: "I found Mulberry Park Silk was the best for quality, price, and comfort...Their customer service is amazing...If you want the BEST product for your money, the only way to go is Mulberry Park Silk bedding."

One of the biggest complaints about silk is that it can be tough to clean. That obstacle is annoying enough when it comes to clothing, but bedding? You definitely need washable sheets.

What people are saying: "Silk is the best. They were amazing...but too slippery. Top sheet combined with fitted sheet and the rest of our pillows and blankets kept sliding off the bed."

Talk about balling on a budget. At $31, you might as well give this top-rated Amazon set a shot.

What people are saying: "I was immediately sold and impressed with this company's sheets...when I slept on it, it felt so good against my body, and I was just sliding around like a bar of soap. It's just heavenly and a must-buy."

Perhaps you care less about sheets made from genuine silk fibers and more about that cool, silky feeling. Sustainable eucalyptus sheets might be just the thing for you.

What people are saying: "Great sleep. Smooth, refreshing, silky sheets that stay put and don't twist around you when you move."

Prices for silk bedding vary widely, very widely. This bottom sheet is priced at a happy medium while maintaining a high-quality product.

What people are saying: "This is the first silk sheet I’ve ever had and I don't think I’ll be going back to anything else. So soft, smooth, and cool on the skin. Great for folks who sweat at night...I highly recommend these sheets. "

Attention, hot sleepers. If you’ve tried just about everything for a cool sleep and still can't get relief, don't miss out on these ultra-lightweight eucalyptus sheets that are known for offering excellent temperature control.

What people are saying: "I love this material! It has a silky and luxurious feeling against the skin, and feels cool to the touch. I’ve had these sheets for a couple weeks and I am in total heaven."

No, it's not a full set of sheets. But it is a partial set! Get a luxurious 25 Momme silk bottom sheet and two matching pillowcases, and your sleep set-up will be totally revamped.

What people are saying: "It's ruined other sheets for me. I climb into bed every night and sigh with a nice ‘ahhh.’ This is the best-fitted sheet I have ever owned."

Sure, alternatives such as sateen aren't bonafide silk, but modern technology makes for some incredible textile dupes that provide that same feeling at a fraction of the cost.

What people are saying: "They are the comfiest sheets I have ever had. I will definitely be buying them from here on out...considering you spend a ton of time in your bed, why not invest in yourself. Worth every penny."

I know the top sheet debate is a divisive one, but I think this silky option would convert even the least likely believer.

What people are saying: "This flat sheet feels soft and silky...It keeps me cool on hot summer nights...It grows softer with each wash. It makes me look forward to going to bed each night even more than I already do."

Part of me thinks I should just let this photo speak for itself. Look at that! One fitted sheet and two pillowcases in geniune Mulberry silk at just over $200 is tough to beat.

Hear me out, not only is this set high-quality and comprising of three pieces, but it's at a healthy price point that makes it perfect for gifting. Whether you’re celebrating newlyweds or looking for a way to spoil your parents, don't sleep on silk sheets. (Well, you know what I mean.)

What people are saying: "These sheets are a dream keeping hair soft and frizz-free. Hypoallergenic as advertised. Very soft. Well-made, beautifully crafted sheets. Color is so brilliant."

If you are able to splash out a little extra (or if you’ve been hoarding Amazon gift cards), you can invest in this one fine set and never have to purchase sheets again.

What people are saying: "These are of the best quality silk we’ve experienced. They are made beautifully and woven tightly...we won't use our other nice sheets...I highly recommend these sheets."

Sticker shock, I know. But think about all the time you spend in your bed. It adds up. Now factor in the cost of constantly replacing your sheets after they get worn out every few years. An upgrade is well worth the cost.

What people are saying: "I bought these sheets because I was having major back surgery and was told they would help me to roll over in bed. Not only did they help me roll over in bed, but I also slept comfortably all night long. These sheets made my recovery far more bearable."

Then again, maybe it's not so bad to replace your sheets every so often if you get a great deal.
