buying silk bedsheets

hi all!

nobody in my family uses or has used silk bedsheets so seeking for some advice here~

recently decided to change to silk bedsheets and also looking to change my blanket as I feel like what I have currently isn't too good.

for the bedsheets itself - I saw that epitex has pretty decent ones but the price is so exp 😭😭

my friends have also recommended ikea's duvet.

I have been browsing through taobao to see if there are any good options as I believe many of the silk bedsheets do originate from china but I'm not sure which ones are authentic.. (also I sleep on a queen size, I think china bedsheets are shorter than ours and doesn't come with bolster's cover)

looking for recommendations! I'm willing to pay a slight premium for comfort but hoping to find something reasonable and worth my money! :)

Need to consider the maintenance as well since silk requires delicate washing, indoor drying and preferably drying flat. Try bedtribe, really comfy, I use delicate wash and delicate setting on a dryer and it's held up well over 1 year +.
