19Momme Silk Sheet Set

• Children: Silk bedding is an excellent choice for children due to its smooth texture. The softness of silk helps prevent irritation against delicate skin, providing a comfortable sleeping experience.
• Individuals with Sensitive Skin: Made from 100% natural protein fibers, silk bedding is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin. It reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions, making it suitable for those who are prone to skin sensitivities.
• Hot Sleepers: For those who tend to sleep hot, silk bedding offers a cool and breathable option. Its natural temperature-regulating properties help wick moisture away, keeping you comfortable throughout the night.
• Sleepers Seeking Luxury: Silk bedding is perfect for those who desire a touch of luxury in their sleep environment. Its exquisite feel and elegant appearance can transform the bedroom into a lavish retreat, making you feel like royalty every night.

Momme (abbreviated as mm) is a unit of measurement used to indicate the thickness and weight of silk fabric. Generally, a higher momme number indicates that the silk fabric is thicker and heavier, which usually correlates with higher quality.

A momme count of 19 is quite common for silk bedding and is considered good quality, though not the highest.
SILKSILKY offers silk bedding sets with higher momme counts, such as 22 momme and 25 momme sheets. These options are more expensive but also thicker and of superior quality.

Silk bedding is typically more expensive because silk is made from natural silk fibers, and the production process is complex and time-consuming.
The cultivation of silkworms, harvesting, and processing silk requires meticulous craftsmanship, all of which contribute to the higher cost.
High-quality silk bedding not only provides excellent comfort and breathability but also enhances the overall sleep experience, so its price reflects the quality and craftsmanship of the material.

Here’s how to care for your silk items to ensure they last for long time:

• Washing Method: ①Machine Washing: Use cold water and select the gentle cycle on your washing machine. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener during the wash. After washing, opt for air-drying by hanging the silk items on a line. If you need to use a dryer, ensure it's set to a no-heat or delicate setting.
  ②Hand Washing: Turn the silk item inside out and use a gentle, enzyme-free detergent. Gently agitate the water to clean the fabric, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
• Drying: After washing, gently press out excess water with a clean, white towel. Lay the silk item flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging silk items, as this can cause them to stretch.
• Ironing: If ironing is necessary, turn the silk item inside out and use the lowest heat setting. It's advisable to iron the fabric while it's slightly damp to prevent damage.
• Storage: Store silk bedding in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use breathable fabric bags to protect the silk from dust and potential damage.

By following these care instructions, your silk bedding will remain in excellent condition, providing you with comfort and luxury for years to come.

There are major differences between satin and silk sheets in many aspects:

• Composition: Satin sheets and silk sheets are not exactly the same. Satin refers to a type of weave that can be made from various materials, such as polyester, cotton, or silk, and is often made from synthetic polyester fibers. In contrast, silk sheets are specifically made from natural silk, known for their unique sheen and soft texture.

• Breathability: While satin sheets may look smooth like silk, they have poorer breathability. For hot sleepers, you definitely don’t want to wake up sweating in the middle of the night. Silk sheets, on the other hand, are highly breathable and have excellent temperature-regulating properties, helping you stay cool and sleep comfortably through the night.

• Health: Since satin sheets are made from polyester fibers, they can be irritating for children or individuals with sensitive skin. Silk sheets are made from pure natural proteins, closely resembling human skin, making them gentle and non-irritating for delicate and sensitive skin.
