I'm not laughing. I did more or less the same thing.
I made my silk pillowcases out of an old sari bought from ebay. All the pillowcases I found on the web were the wrong shape (French pillows are square) So I just made my own. The fabric is very thin, but I put a cotton case underneath it and when you get three or four pillow cases from one sari, it doesn't matter if you need to replace often (so saying, I've been using them since May and they are all still fine)
I didn't answer the question: Silk for me. I love the feel of silk and I'm always careful with things marked "satin" because my skin prefers natural fibres.
