Quality: A—Made of double-layered, high quality (6A, 22mm, mulberry) silk; with thoughtful features such as 18" - 26" adjustable wide elastic band covered on both sides in soft, non-scratchy fabric, large capacity cap that will fit all but the longest, most voluminous hair, decorative bow, and included "burn test" patch.Effectiveness: A—Stayed on all night, hair felt great!Value: B—Expensive-seeming $29.99 price tag well worth it when considering quality and functionality.This 100% silk bonnet is a luxury item, with the quality and price tag to match. I would recommend it to everyone that covers their (curly) hair to sleep, but especially to my fellow restless sleepers because this is the first bonnet to ever make it to morning while still being on my head. It's the first real silk bonnet I've worn, and it's much comfier/cooler/more breathable than the polyester satins I've tried. The lack of sweat alone made my hair look and feel much better in the morning, but I'm certain the silk does a better job smoothing than the poly-satin as well. The wide elastic band is pretty comfortable to wear thanks to the soft fabric between it and your delicate face skin, and stays on well without needing to be uncomfortably tight. I did have a problem the first night with the elastic un-tightening as I thrashed in my sleep, but I just put a safety pin in (the elastic, not the silk) until morning and that fixed it. If you don't partake in the nightly terrors, I doubt the pin will be necessary. In short, despite being generally unwilling to spend $30 on a sleep bonnet, this is the one bonnet I've ever been happy to and found worthwhile spending $30 on.

I have long curly hair that is very fine and low-density. It’s the bane of my existence because it tangles easily. I had previously tried pretty much every method of sleeping suggested by the Curly Hair community before I finally settled on a bonnet. I tried the bonnets that tie around the head, and the bonnets with elastic that is much tighter than this, with ruched edging – and neither of those worked for me. The tie around always fell off, and the ruched edging one was far too tight around my head and left marks where it rested on my skin. I finally settled on one with a wide band like this, that purported to be 100% silk – but I’d always read that silk was very breathable and would help you sleep cooler – and I found the opposite of that to be true. But it was what it was, and while I slept hot with it and didn’t love it, it was still better than my perpetual tangles.When I saw this “Umisleep Large Silk Bonnet for Sleeping Women, 100% Double Layer 22 Momme Mulberry Silk, Non Slip Hair Bonnet with Adjustable Band for Curly Long Hair, Black” bonnet listed I decided to give it a try, at the very least I’d have a bonnet to use while my other one was air drying – but when I slept with this one on the first night I was amazed – it actually does sleep very cool, my head doesn’t get hot and I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night to take off my bonnet to cool down my head!!! I’m now convinced that my previous bonnet is not actually silk at all.This is a beautiful bonnet, with a wide band that is adjustable via a little slider on the back, it has an adorable bow on the front that is purely decorative and can probably be removed if you hate it. The bonnet comes packaged in a lovely gift-able box with clear care instructions listed for keeping it in tip-top shape, and even includes a sample of the silk that is used to make the bonnet that you can burn to verify that it’s real silk (real silk will turn to ash when burned, satin just shrivels up and turns to a plastic-y lump.) I have already washed the bonnet, by hand as instructed, and air dried it. It washes up wonderfully, no pulls or pilling, and looks just as good as when I took it out of the box.The only downside I have with this bonnet is that the elastic inside the band is loose instead of sewn in, so it does slide around and I can see the potential for it to fold over and affect the comfort and wearability of this bonnet – I solved that by putting some small stitches around the top perimeter of the band to secure it, and I’ve been very happy with my adjustment.I’m thrilled with my new bonnet, and I’ll be purchasing another one to have for the reason I originally purchased this one, so that I can swap them out while one is air drying. I will most likely be testing the claim of ‘100% silk’ of my old one, by burning it.

As a naturally curly girl, I have several silk bonnets for sleeping. I only buy silk, not satin, and prefer the two-sided silk ones. That's exactly what this one was so I was excited to try it. I have both the styles that just fit over the head by themselves as well as the ones that tie around to hold them on better. This is somewhat like a combination of the two. It doesn't have a tie, but it does have a band and the ability to tighten it. Thankfully you can tighten it because this is probably the largest one I've found, which is great if you have a ton of hair or a larger head. I have neither. I have a very small head for an adult and not a ton of hair. I had to tighten it all the way, but I was able to get it to fit securely on my head. I have to say this is the first bonnet I've had that hasn't slipped off in the middle of the night. Between the fact that I toss and turn a good bit and I wear Bluetooth sleep headphones to listen to the tv, most of the time I wake up with my bonnet off to the side of my pillow. This one stayed on the whole night. That sold me right there! Also, this one is an excellent value for 100% silk. I really hate when sellers on Amazon are trying to hawk satin bonnets as silk. This one actually is silk and the price is really reasonable. This probably has to be my new favorite bonnet. I would definitely buy another.
