silk pillow

Fancy head cushion

A silk pillow is a pillow with a silk covering, prized for being gentle on hair and skin.

Silk pillowcases reduce friction that causes bedhead and facial creases: She switched to a silk pillow to prevent wrinkles.

The term sometimes refers to silk-filled pillows, though the covering is usually the selling point.
