silk sheet

Smooth bed covering

A silk sheet is bedding made from silk fabric, prized for its smooth, cool texture against the skin.

Silk sheets suggest luxury and sensuality—they appear in descriptions of wealth and seduction: satin pillows and silk sheets.

The phrase sometimes stands in for an entire lifestyle of indulgence.
