Why is it called silk when the material is listed as polyester? Is this some kind of conspiracy?

They are supposed to say "silk-weight", as the base of a multi-layer system. Yes, they are polyester blend. They do have a cool silky, yet breathable feel against the skin.

Its not made of silk. I have a silk one I have only used once. This one is very light weight and comes out of the washer and dryer just fine when you wash it. I love it.

FYI silk is a THREAD, satin is a WEAVE. In order to make fabric, you take a type of thread, and weave it in a certain way. It is entirely possible to have a satin-weave fabric that is made of 100% silk threads. If what you actually want is a silk vs polyester test, that is something entirely different - and as another responder pointed out, the only way you are going to know for certain is if you burn it.

I just checked mine and the tag reads 100% polyester. I don't know why they advertise as a cotton/poly blend. I like them just fine. I'm just using them for home.

I believe the polyester is due to the flocked top surface. The actual construction is a thick vinyl.

You are correct! I didn't read as closely as you did. The back of the package says it is 100% Polyester Charmeuse Satin!

That synthetic cotton it says 100% polyester fill that is thick soft white fluff but in a large quantity firm . Like what they use to fill large stuff animals. Hope that helps

Its like a suade, or a microfiber. Officially on the tag, it says 100% polyester. Its soft to the feel material.

Shealthed in what I would say is probably polyester. I have used it for my workout equipment and now for keeping my patio shades down through the hot summer and higher than average wind. It has been a great purchase.

Yes, polyester. It is not lined--I don't think you can have a lined raincoat that folds into a small bag for travel.

NO, this sheet set is 100% polyester. I'm surprised that this is listed as a cotton-poly blend. The tags on the sheets clearly state "100% polyester." I'm not sure if they have changed the manufacturing process and fiber content on this item? I will upload pics.

no idea. I returned the item, because I did not like the Polyester material.

The material of the actual pillow is 100% polyester. I was very disappointed as I had read it was 100% organic cotton but that is only the pillow case, allegedly. Pillow overheats because of the polyester and can be very uncomfortable though this kinda helps on cold nights. Even though the cover is said to be organic cotton, it doesn't feel very soft and might as well be some other material. But maybe my skin is just too sensitive. I now have to wrap pillow w other sheets because the "organic" cover irritates me or maybe it is the polyester. Either way, although pillow is comfortable and helps w sleep, it is not worth it because material makes it uncomfortable.

The description says it's 100-percent synthetic satin. No part of it is silk.

I think it would be more like polyester not a crinkly papery material. Very quiet and soft. You will not be disappointed.

Looking on the package it says 100% cotton/ silk construction with polyester trim. The tag says polyester fibers.
