Silk Sheets & Eczema: A Dreamy Duo for Delicate Skin

If your little one struggles with eczema, you’re not alone - and we see you, mama. The dry patches. The red cheeks. The endless cycle of creams and prayers that this time they’ll sleep soundly through the night.

At Silky Tots, we’re all about gentle solutions that actually make a difference - and silk sheets? They’re one of our secret weapons when it comes to supporting eczema-prone skin.

Why Silk?

Our signature silk sheets aren’t just luxuriously soft (though they absolutely are), they’re designed to care for delicate baby skin. And when eczema enters the chat, silk can be an absolute game-changer.

Here’s why:

⚡️ Less Friction, More Comfort

Traditional cotton sheets can create friction, which can trigger flare-ups or make existing eczema worse - especially on the face. Silk’s smooth-as-a-cloud surface helps reduce that rubbing and irritation, giving bub’s skin a gentler surface to rest on.

“My baby would rub her face on her sheet all night—her cheeks were always red and sore. I switched to the Silky Tots bassinet sleeve and within days, her skin started calming down.” – Jess, VIC

🛡️ Naturally Hypoallergenic

Silk is a powerhouse when it comes to repelling dust mites, mould, and bacteria—common eczema triggers that love to linger in fabric. It’s also free from nasties like synthetic dyes, harsh fibres or irritating finishes.

💧 Moisture Balancing

Silk helps skin stay just right - not too dry, not too sweaty. Unlike cotton (which absorbs creams and skin moisture), silk supports the skin barrier by keeping hydration (and essential oils) where it belongs.

“My little boy’s eczema flared with heat and sweat. Since switching to a Silky Tots crib sheet, he’s been cooler, comfier and waking up with calmer skin.” – Emily, NSW

❄️ Temperature Regulating

Eczema and sweat do not mix well. That’s why our silk helps regulate temperature all year round - keeping baby cool in summer and warm in winter.

✅ Backed by Experts

We’re not the only ones who believe in the power of silk. The National Eczema Society recommends silk as a skin-friendly fabric for people living with eczema, especially when used in clothing or bedding. It’s not a cure (and we’d never pretend it is), but it’s a beautifully gentle support for irritated skin. 

A Small Change That Makes a Big Difference

We know how exhausting eczema can be - for bub and for you. If there’s one change that could help soothe their skin, support their sleep, and bring a little softness back to bedtime, it’s switching to silk.

Because sometimes, relief comes in the gentlest form.
