Know Your Silk: Varieties, Weaves, and What They Mean

Mulberry vs. Tussah: Fiber Origins That Shape the Feel

Mulberry silk uses long, fine, uniform fibers for a smooth, consistent hand and elegant drape. Tussah, from wild silkworms, is slightly coarser, earthier in tone, and loved for subtle texture and a more rustic character.

Momme Weight Demystified: 19, 22, 25, and Beyond

Momme measures fabric density, not thread count. Around 19–22 momme balances breathability and durability for sheets, while 25–30 momme suits long‑wear pillowcases and duvet covers that need stronger abrasion resistance.

Charmeuse, Habotai, and Twill: Finish Changes Everything

Charmeuse offers a luminous face and matte back, perfect against skin. Habotai is lighter, airy, and floaty. Twill adds subtle diagonal texture and resilience, ideal for sleepers wanting structure without sacrificing softness.

Feel and Finish: How You Want Silk to Touch Your Skin

That gentle glow isn’t only cosmetic; the smooth face reduces friction. Curly‑haired readers often rave about calmer mornings when pillowcases are charmeuse, even during dry, static‑heavy winter months.

Feel and Finish: How You Want Silk to Touch Your Skin

If you love the feeling of being barely covered, habotai is a delight. It flutters with movement and suits warm sleepers who still crave a soft, breathable protective layer at night.

Care, Durability, and the Long Life of Silk

Use a pH‑neutral detergent, cold water, and a mesh bag on delicate. Skip bleach and fabric softener. Air‑dry away from direct sun to protect proteins and keep that luminous finish intact longer.

Care, Durability, and the Long Life of Silk

Store in a breathable cotton bag, not plastic, to prevent moisture buildup. Rotate pillowcases weekly; rotating spreads wear, and readers notice their 22 momme sets lasting years with this simple habit.

Comfort and Wellness: Why Silk Feels So Good

Gentle on Skin and Hair

Silk’s smooth surface reduces tugging on hair and helps minimize morning creases on skin. One traveler told us her silk pillowcase kept her curls defined across three time zones and dry hotel air.

Fit, Sizing, and Bed Compatibility

Match pocket depth to mattress height, including toppers. Strong perimeter elastic keeps silk fitted sheets secure without over‑stretching, saving fabric integrity and maintaining that perfect glide.

Fit, Sizing, and Bed Compatibility

Look for corner loops and interior ties to prevent bunching. Zippers or hidden buttons keep a smooth profile. Silk‑filled duvets vary by tog; choose lighter for summer and medium for shoulder seasons.

Buying Smart: Quality, Certification, and Value

Fiber Grade and Length

Seek long‑fiber, Grade A mulberry silk for fewer joins and stronger fabric. It resists snags better and drapes smoothly, especially in frequently washed items like pillowcases and fitted sheets.

Safety and Dyes You Can Trust

OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 or comparable certifications help ensure textiles are tested for harmful substances. Colorfast, low‑impact dyes preserve vibrancy, preventing bleed on light mattresses or neighboring linens.

Spend Where It Matters Most

If budgeting, splurge on pillowcases first—they see the most friction and touch your face nightly. Subscribe for our concise buyer’s guide and personalized momme‑by‑climate recommendations delivered to your inbox.
