Vegan silk pillowcases

Has anyone used a silk pillowcase and is it worth trying? Possible extra present for vegan DIL, for whom silk is unacceptable.
Are the vegan satin ones any good? Also not costing £30 plus as I need two.

I think this is a no go for a vegan tbh. I love my silk pillowcase but I imagine a satin one would be synthetic and sweaty, which kind of defies the point.

The bamboo sateen and cotton satin do both work similar to silk. However they do use a lot of chemicals in the manufacturing, which then goes as waste and the chemical waste includes microplastics. So a lot of vegans won't buy them if they are into a ethical lifestyle, rather than just not eating meat. These are vegan products that are very planet/environment unfriendly. Considering that the benefits are purely cosmetic, if you are into sustainability and the environment, you wouldn't want one.

Thanks both of you!
I have just checked with DS and it turns out DIL already has one and DS does not like it, as Jackie says, because he finds the texture unpleasant.
Back to pondering.

I have ordered my DH a vegan cheese hamper from la fauxmagerie
