Product Overview
Satin sleep caps—also called hair bonnets—are protective head coverings worn overnight to reduce friction between hair and pillowcase, preserving blowouts, curls, and protective styles such as braids. The core construction is simple: a circular or gathered satin panel with a wide elastic edge band, typically using 75D–150D polyester satin for value lines and 16–22 momme mulberry silk for premium tiers. Double-layer reversible designs and jumbo sizes for long hair represent the main upgrade paths, while single-layer versions weigh as little as 25–35 grams and pack flat for economical shipping. The product serves both the hair-care retail market and the salon professional channel, and repeat-purchase behavior in this category is stronger than in most accessories segments.
B2B Procurement Advantages
Bonnets are sewn products with low machinery barriers, so suppliers concentrate in Zhejiang and Guangdong garment clusters where elastic, satin, and silk suppliers sit within the same industrial belts; this keeps MOQs accessible (often 50–200 pieces for stocked colors) and production lead times to 10–20 days. The critical negotiation point is fabric honesty: “satin” on B2B listings usually means polyester satin, while true mulberry silk costs several times more. Always specify fabric composition, momme weight, and thread count in the purchase contract rather than relying on listing titles. For custom-logo orders, compare embroidery against printed care labels on the band. Audit points: check elastic band stitching for skipped stitches that cause band rollover, and request a pre-production sample washed three times to test dye fastness.
