Silk Bedding Sets: Choose the Pieces, the Momme and the Bed Size Together
A silk bedding set gets matching pieces in one weight, one color and one bed size in a single order. Every set here includes two pillowcases, paired with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a duvet cover or two of those pieces. Sets come in 19, 22 or 25 momme, so the silk weight is part of choosing the listing.
Pick the Combination by What Your Bed Is Missing
Start with the layers you want to change, not the piece count.
- Fitted sheet and two pillowcases — For a bed that already has a top layer you like, when you want silk on the surface you sleep on.
- Flat sheet and two pillowcases — For sleepers who like a top sheet between themselves and a blanket or comforter.
- Fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases — A complete sheet set, with both sheets and the pillowcases in the same weight and color.
- Duvet cover and two pillowcases — Refreshes the top layer and the look of the bed while you keep your existing sheets.
- Duvet cover, one sheet and two pillowcases — The fullest coordinated look, pairing the cover with either a fitted or a flat sheet.
A Duvet Cover Is Not a Comforter
If you are shopping for a silk comforter set, note what the listings contain. The set descriptions list a duvet cover, which is the outer shell, but no filled insert or comforter, so plan to use an insert you already own or buy one separately.
Compare the cover's measurements with your insert rather than relying on the bed-size name. The size charts list the Twin duvet cover at 67" x 87", Queen at 87" x 90", King at 104" x 92" and California King at 110" x 96". If you would like to see the covers on their own, visit our silk duvet covers.
Momme: How Much Silk You Want on the Bed
Momme is a measure of silk fabric weight: the higher the number, the more silk in the same area of fabric. At 19 momme the fabric is the lightest of the three options here and a natural starting point if you prefer an airy drape. At 25 momme it is the most substantial of the three, for someone who prefers a heavier hand. At 22 momme it sits between the two.
Weight changes how the fabric feels and hangs, not the size or the pieces in the set. If you are matching existing silk pieces, choose the same momme.
Size and Mattress Depth
Sets are sized Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King. The fitted sheets are listed with a 16-inch (40 cm) pocket depth; the Queen fitted sheet, for example, is charted at 60" x 80" + 16" and the King at 78" x 80" + 16". Measure your mattress height, including any topper, before choosing a fitted-sheet set. If it is taller than 16 inches, the corners may not tuck securely, and a flat-sheet combination may suit you better.
A California King is longer and narrower than a King, charted at 72" x 84" against 78" x 80" for the fitted sheet, so the two are not interchangeable. Pillowcase size follows the bed: the charts pair Twin and Full sets with 20" x 26" standard cases, Queen with 20" x 30", and King and California King with 20" x 36". On the three-piece flat-sheet sets, the King size option names 20" x 30" cases instead, so check it before ordering. If you only need a single sheet, compare our silk fitted sheets.
Pillowcases and Color
The set descriptions list envelope-closure pillowcases, which have an overlapping flap instead of a zipper. Color lists differ from one listing to the next, so when you are coordinating with a room, choose the combination and momme first, then check the colors offered for that listing.
Caring for a Full Set
Follow the care instructions for your set. Wash large pieces on their own so they have room to move, use a gentle detergent made for silk, avoid wringing and dry them away from direct heat and strong sun.
