6 Reasons to Put Your Baby to Sleep on Silk

Say “bye-bye” to baby bedhead and bald spots! Happiest Baby has teamed up with Lunya to turn Baby’s bedtime into the softest, smoothest, dreamiest experience yet via our Silk SNOO Sheet. Our 100% Mulberry silk sheet isn’t just a luxurious upgrade—it’s pediatrician-designed, machine washable, and specially made to fit SNOO’s mattress.

Here are six benefits of silk that make it a must-have for your baby’s bed.

1. It’s a baby hair hero!

The friction from traditional bedding can tug at your little one’s delicate strands, leading to breakage, tangles, and those telltale bare patches on the back of Baby’s head.

That’s where our Silk SNOO Sheet shines. Made with ultra-smooth 100% Mulberry silk, this luxe layer glides over Baby’s scalp, helping protect those wispy strands from friction-induced damage. That means fewer tangles, less frizz, and a happier, healthier head of hair (plus, a flawless ‘do for your morning SNOO stretch snaps!).

2. It’s gentle on a baby’s delicate skin—and hypoallergenic, too.

Your baby’s skin is precious, and everything that touches it should be just as gentle! Our silk bassinet sheet is naturally hypoallergenic and made from OEKO-TEX^®-certified Mulberry silk, which means it’s free from harmful chemicals and safe for sensitive skin.

Silk’s smooth, breathable surface helps minimize irritation and supports Baby’s comfort, while its resistance to common allergens (like dust mites and mold) makes it a smart choice for babies with sensitivities. 

3. It’s comfy in all temperatures.

Babies can’t tell us when they’re hot or cold—but our Silk SNOO Sheet helps take the guesswork out of snoozy-time comfort. Mulberry silk is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep Baby warm in winter and cool in summer.

This magical fabric adjusts to the environment, helping to keep overheating or chills at at bay. More comfortable sleep, no matter the weather!

4. It’s safe and smartly designed.

Created by celebrated pediatrician and baby sleep expert Dr. Harvey Karp, Silk SNOO Sheet was made specifically to be safe for sleep in SNOO. The snug, secure fit helps prevent any bunching or loose fabric in the bassinet—a key component of safe sleep. And ours is the only silk sheet certified for use in SNOO, combining baby-safe design with luxurious comfort.

5. It’s easy-peasy to care for.

We know what you’re thinking: Silk? With a baby?! But yes—this silk sheet was made with real parents (and real messes) in mind. Unlike many traditional silk products that require delicate handwashing, the Silk SNOO Sheet is fully machine washable. Just toss it in cold on a delicate cycle (a mesh laundry bag is recommended), and lay it flat to dry. It’s a low-maintenance luxury designed for real families.

6. It’s responsibly made—and seriously chic!

Yes, it’s dreamy to touch…and our Silk SNOO Sheet is just as dreamy to look at. This beautifully crafted sheet elevates your baby’s bassinet with a chic, polished finish. And thanks to our partnership with Lunya—a brand known for their elevated washable silk—it’s made with sustainability in mind, using responsibly sourced materials that are better for Baby and the planet.

When it comes to your little one’s sleep, every detail matters. That’s why we designed the Happiest Baby x Lunya Silk SNOO Sheet to offer unmatched comfort, safety, and style—all in one luxurious layer. Say hello to smoother sleep!
