I have these bonnets and I have the scarves and the pillow cases too.
The pillow cases are my favorite and I am considering giving up the bonnets since I wear my hair in buns and up-dos 99.8% of the time. The pillow cases are heavenly. I also believe that all bonnets are the culprit of the breakage at my hairline and nape.
As a matter of fact, this post made me go and buy some more.

I prefer scarves because I can control the tension and fit. I worry about hairline breakage with bonnets, and the one bonnet I liked is too loose for my head now.

I wear a bonnet when I have curls and a scarf when it's straight

When I DC overnight I use a plastic cap, covered by a bonnet, covered by a satin scarf (neem stinks). If my hair is in twists, I use my satin bonnet. If my hair is curly from a WnG, then I use my Buff. I like all of them. I've been using the same satin scarf from since I was a teen, that was handed down from my Mom.

I use a satin pillow case when I want to make sure my hair dries. When I am trying to protect the style I wear a satin bonnet. i have a bonnet with the 1" trim around it so it lays on my forehead and not my edges. I've had it for years. I don't buy the bonnets with that elastic gathering around it. It does eat at your edges.
I rarely wear a scarf.

I use a bonnet that ties with a string so I can control the tension. I LOVE it. I used scarves most of my life and I was getting to a point where they would give me headaches when tied properly so they wouldn't come off at night. I also hated the knot which would be at the front or back of my head, depending on the size of the scarf. I'm pretty sure this is it below, never mind about any growth treatment, they are tripping to even make that claim, LOL but the bonnet is pretty nice. I originally bought it to wear under hats but now I use it nightly.

I wear a silk scarf and sleep on satin pillowcases. It seems to be working well for me.

I'm sure that they're probably other companies, which make silk bonnets.

My hair has outgrown my bonnets to the point that all of my bonnets have a rip where the elastic meets the fabric.
So I've slowly transitioned to just using my satin pillowcases. Feels weird to have nothing on my head at night.
I slept with my head covered since i was in middle school!

I use a bonnet and satin pillowcases. Sometimes, I use them mutually, or exclusively, dependent on the weather and my mood.

I've just bought a satin pillowcase and the darn thing is too small for my pillow. Didn't see that one coming. But I'm excited about the prospects of not having to wear a bonnet during the "good times" if ya know what I mean.

I prefer the bonnet simply because it stays on my head.
My satin scarf doesn't. Maybe I sleep wild, but the scarf is great for laying my hair smooth when I'm up and about.

fattyfatfat - this vendor sells real silk scarves and pillowcases as well. They are very slippery.

Either one. If I have curls I use a bonnet, if it's straight I use a satin scarf. I have satin pillow cases as well but I don't feel comfortable with just a satin pillow case because I have been wearing a scarf every since I was very small so I feel like I'm doing something wrong with sleeping on a pillow case. And I have slept on just a satin pillow case when I was too intoxicated and when I woke up my hair felt like I slept without a scarf, maybe because it was more exposed to the environment
