Just ask NIDRA founder and creative director, Carrie-Ann Le Feuvre. She has been sleeping on one for almost a decade. “I have naturally very curly/frizzy hair and a girlfriend recommended sleeping on silk to avoid waking up every morning looking like I had been electrocuted in my sleep,” she says. “I couldn’t believe the difference after the first night and it was even better to find out later that the benefits to your skin and health were just as amazing.”   

In addition to calming frizz and flyaways, silk pillowcases can combat the signs of ageing, help clear acne, keep skin hydrated and regulate temperature and moisture levels for a better night’s sleep. They are hypoallergenic, breathable and contain proteins that are associated with cellular repair and collagen production. Plus, that luxuriously smooth texture feels incredible to sleep on and all you need to do to reap its benefits is get horizontal.    

Inspired by her own silk results but frustrated by the lack of beautiful, sustainable options on the market, Carrie-Ann decided to start making her own. After a two-year sourcing journey, she launched NIDRA, offering certified organic and fairtrade silk pillowcases and scrunchies.    

We sat down with Carrie-Ann to find out exactly why NIDRA’s silk pillowcases deserve a place on our beds.
