Silk likely isn’t a fiber that one thinks of when looking at bedding materials. It turns out that silk – and more specifically the SmartSilk brand – is actually a perfect choice for bedding because of it’s properties.
SmartSilk is of course luxurious (stretched into sheets and laid layer upon layer) but it also doesn’t harbour odors, is chemical free, and is an inhospitable surface for dust mites and allergens AND is mold and mildew free. It sounds like the perfect material for bedding.
It’s also the first all natural bedding to be certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by: the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and the Asthma Society of Canada!
When I learned that, I said yes to the review request for our family to check out two SmartSilk Standard pillows. My 8 year old has asthma and since he spends 12 or so hours a night resting his head on a pillow, that environment should be as asthma-friendly as possible! I had a natural-fiber pillow for him already, but it was a few years old and it was time to replace it. Since we received two pillow, I have the second one to my daughter. Even without the allergy/asthma product feature, the SmartSilk pillow is a tempting purchase because it’s mold/mildew/dust-mite free.
Attributes of the SmartSilk™ Pillow
– All natural polyester micro gel fiber filling
– All natural silk fill liner
– All natural cotton outer shell
– Moisture wicking properties help to reduce effects of night sweats
– Keeps your skin moisturized
– Water repellent non-woven material
– Breathable materials: no longer need to flip the pillow around looking for a cool spot
My kids are too young to accurately tell me if using the SmartSilk pillow has improved their quality of sleep, but from the feel of the pillow itself I can’t see how it couldn’t. It super-soft, and you can literally feel how silky smooth the fibers inside are when squishing the pillow. I cringe thinking about the spongy cotton filled pillows I slept on for years (until I knew better!)
Customers in both the US and Canada can shop online for SmartSilk pillows as well as other SmartSilk bedding products like mattress pads, duvet covers, pillow protectors or the whole bedding set all at once!

We have allergies so I like that their Mattress pads have scientifically proven barrier from allergens, dust mites & pet dander.
I love trying out all the natural fiber pillows that are finally making their way back into our society!!
We’ve tried so many (cheap = crappy!) pillows and still often wake up with sore necks or backs. We’d love to find something better!
“Moisture wicking properties help to reduce effects of night sweats” is the part I am very interested in as my son always woke up with sweat soaked pillow.
Keeping my head cool sounds fabulous. Does that mean no waking up to flip the pillow? Sounds good to me!
Smartsilk pillows have two attributes that got my attention – “breathable” – have NIGHT SWEATS *WHEW*. Also when my son gets nervous at night, here comes the little pitter patter to sleep with Mommy. Son is asthmatic – so SmartSilk pillows are allergy friendly – aid in curbing allergens and an asthma attack – has my SUPPORT hands down.
