Six Sumptuous Bedding Materials for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is a surprisingly common affliction – in fact, between 50 and 70 percent of people report experiencing symptoms. Whether you have a diagnosable issue like eczema or psoriasis or something milder like occasional breakouts, skin sensitivities can affect your comfort overnight, impeding your ability to get sufficient rest and wake up feeling refreshed. The good news is that the bedding materials you choose can have a profound effect on your capacity to sleep comfortably. At Latest Bedding, we’re passionate about providing customers with bedding products that are both aesthetically pleasing and good for hair and skin. Keep reading to discover our top tips on choosing the best bedding for your family.

Considering When Selecting Bedding

There are various factors to consider when making bedding choices as a sensitive skin sufferer. One of the most important factors is material choice, with a majority of individuals preferring fabrics that are smooth and breathable, allowing air and moisture to pass through. Additionally, sensitive folks do best with products that are OEKO-TEX certified. An independent designation, this label indicates that products were made free from harmful substances and chemicals known to cause irritation. Ultimately, the best bedding is whichever one feels right to you or your family member. 

Egyptian Cotton

When it comes to skin-friendly fabric, it’s hard to beat 100 percent Egyptian cotton. Ideal for both hair and complexion, this type of cotton is crafted from extra-long staple fibers grown in Egypt’s Nile River Valley. Sumptuously soft and delightfully breathable, Egyptian cotton keeps skin cool and dry no matter how warm the temperature gets. We’re big fans of the Triple Luxe Sateen Sheet Set from Pure Parima. Part of the brand’s Hotel Collection, this cozy set is crafted from hand-picked cotton fibers and features a silky sateen weave with a delightful hand feel. Triple embroidered stitching accents this product, which features a stripe design in multiple colors, including Gold and Arctic. The set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two matching pillowcases.

Bamboo

A bedding choice that’s gaining popularity, bamboo is beloved for being naturally hypoallergenic and delightfully silky. Thanks to the product’s moisture-wicking properties, bamboo is ideal for those prone to acne and other skin conditions. For a choice that’s both stylish and health friendly, consider the Pasha Safari Throw by Lili Alessandra. Made from a luxe blend of bamboo and cotton, this throw looks lovely on the bed or sofa. Measuring 30 inches by 70 inches, the throw is great for relaxing alone or with that special someone. 

Eucalyptus

Another hot offering in the bedding world, eucalyptus wins converts for its moisture-wicking properties and tendency to resist bacteria. So it offers a clean place to rest your head at night. We recommend protecting your complexion and your hairstyle with the Sensa Beige Pillowcases from Togas. Crafted from eucalyptus fibers infused with a Kefalis solution, the Sensotex fabric is both soft and breathable. Plus, it’s eco-friendly so you can feel good about the products you’re purchasing. Choose from sizes standard, king, and Euro. Note that these pillowcases are machine washable to save you both time and money on dry cleaning trips.

Silk

When selecting new bedding, it’s hard to find anything more luxurious than silk. Light and opulent, the material is known to prevent acne and irritation while reducing age lines and wrinkles. Naturally temperature regulating, silk is a great option for both summer and winter. 

We love the Gia Blue Cotton/Silk Duvet Cover by Lili Alessandra for those with high-end taste. Perfect for protecting your duvet, this piece is made from a premium mix of cotton and silk. It’s available in sizes queen and king. 

Linen

Breathable, antibacterial, and known for absorbing moisture, linen bedding is ideal for those with skin sensitivities. And because it’s durable, you don’t have to worry that washing your linen sheets regularly will diminish their softness or beauty. In fact, linen is a material that actually gets softer with every trip through the laundry. We’re big fans of the Lush Linen Sheet Set by Pine Cone Hill. Boasting a salt-and-pepper marled weave made with slubby threads, this product is stonewashed for added coziness. Delightfully supple with a lived-in look sure to please, the collection includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two matching pillowcases. It comes in twin, full, queen, and king sizes.

Lyocell

A lesser known bedding choice, Lyocell is a favorite, and for good reason. Made from wood pulp, this eco-friendly fiber is both breathable and hypoallergenic. So you don’t have to worry about waking up in a pool of sweat or suffering from rashes and irritation. For those looking to revamp their rooms for fall, it’s hard to go wrong with the Merida Lyocell 400 Thread Count Duvet Cover Set. Softer than silk yet cooler than linen, this tencel lyocell product has a modern aesthetic sure to meld with your current decor. As a bonus, it’s known to be wrinkle free, so ironing your bedding will be a thing of the past. The set includes a cover and two shams. It comes in White, Beige, and Mist.
