I would highly recommend the satin! My boyfriend bought me this one: ALASKA BEAR - Natural Silk Pillowcase, Hypoallergenic, 19 momme, 600 thread count 100 percent Mulberry Silk, Queen Size with hidden zipper(Ivory white) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KDL108M?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf because I was nervous about spending $20 on a pillow case and I am so grateful for this!! I dry my hair with the microfiber twist/towel and then sleep on the silk pillowcase and over the last year my hair has gotten so soft and silky! I can now get down to only washing my hair once a week and sleeping on my hair on the silk case makes it better every day. I wash my hair on Sunday nights and my best hair days are Fri-Sun. The microfiber towels were from Marshalls. I bought a satin pillow case from Marshalls and while it's nice/decent to use while I wash and dry my silk one (I wash it once a week) I know that my face and hair look a lot better after a night with the silk.

I own an Alaska Bear mulberry silk pillowcase as well as their silk sleep mask and I love them. The reason it's called mulberry silk is because the silk worms eat only mulberry leaves (at least from what I've seen when I helped out at a silk farm as a kid).

I thought about buying the one with the cotton bottom, but I like to flip my pillowcase after a couple of days, and I've never had issues with it moving around.

Silk is a very soft, light, slippery, and breathable material. I've tried satin before and it makes me sweat. It's like I'm cold and hot at the same time. It's also not as soft and it feels heavier.

I definitely recommend at least buying one and trying it out. I wouldn't spend $100 on something from Nordstrom, though, unless it was made in the US by strapping young men.
