Silk pillowcase for postoperative care?

rhino90
I am scheduled for a hair transplant in late November. I want to optimize my post-op care as much as possible. I have already done a thorough search in terms of supplements, etc. However, I have been unable to find any information and/or recommendations regarding silk pillowcases. I know many swear to them in terms of less breakage, reduced friction, higher moisture retention compared to cotton. Before I purchase such (HT is expensive enough in itself), I want a professional opinion.
