Here’s the deal: You catch some zzzzzzz and The Ecosa Silk Pillowcase improves your hair and skin, while you sleep! The durable silk (machine washable) is better than regular cotton because it allows your skin and hair to gliiiiide across the pillow, stopping your hair becoming frizzy and bed-heady, and avoiding those unsightly skin creases. $69. ecosa.com.au
Sleep is the elixir of life and wool has been proven to be the best base to achieve a good night’s sleep. I just think these products are great for travelling. Both the nap & play mat and the pillow are 100% fine Merino wool and machine washable. The Half Moon pillow was originally made for kids but adults are buying one for themselves and using it for travel and on the plane. On one side of the pillow is the super smooth, ultra-resilient, water and stain resistant ShleepTight™ and on the other, luxurious 20 micron thick pile ShleepSkin™ fleece. Shleep Nap & Play Mat $650 & Half Moon Pillow $170 www.shleepwell.com
