What Is 25 momme Silk?

25 momme silk is considered one of the highest quality types of silk used for bedding.

When shopping for silk pillowcases, sheets, or duvet covers, you may see different momme weights listed, such as 19, 22, or 25 momme.

Momme refers to the weight and density of the silk fabric.

A higher momme weight means the silk is thicker, stronger, and more durable, while still keeping the smooth feel silk is known for.

Because of its durability and luxurious finish, 25 momme mulberry silk is often used for high-end silk bedding designed to last for many years.

Our Housewife, Glacé and Oxford pillowcases, along with the fitted sheets and duvet covers are made from 100% 25 momme grade 6A Mulberry silk.

Being a 25 momme silk means that it has a higher weight and therefore density than lower momme silks.

This makes it more durable and can give it a smoother feel. But don't worry, it won't feel heavy in the night.  

Grade 6A means that it is the highest quality silk with both ‘6’ and ‘A’ being the highest on their respective scales.

The other benefit, of course, is that with proper care, our 25 momme silk bedding should last longer, caring for you, while you care for it. 

What does momme mean?

Momme (mm) is the unit used to measure the weight of silk fabric.

The higher the momme number, the heavier and denser the silk will be.

Lower momme silk, such as 16 or 19 momme, is lighter and often used for accessories or clothing.

Higher momme silk, such as 22 or 25 momme, is thicker and more durable, making it ideal for bedding.

Because bedding is used every night, a higher momme silk is usually the better choice.

Why 25 momme silk is more durable

25 momme silk contains more silk fibres per square inch, which makes the fabric stronger and longer lasting.

This means it is less likely to wear thin over time compared to lower momme silk.

Although 25 momme silk is heavier, it still feels smooth and soft, and many people find it more comfortable because it feels more substantial.

High momme silk bedding is often chosen by those who want silk that will last for years rather than needing to be replaced.

Grade 6A mulberry silk explained

Mulberry silk is considered the highest quality silk available.

It is made using long, uniform fibres, which create a smoother and more durable fabric.

Grade 6A is the highest grade of mulberry silk, meaning the fibres are strong, even, and free from imperfections.

When combined with a high momme weight, this creates silk that is both luxurious and long lasting.

High quality silk bedding is usually made from 100% grade 6A mulberry silk.

Why high momme silk is worth the investment

Silk bedding is often seen as a luxury, but higher quality silk can also be more practical in the long term.

Because 25 momme silk is thicker and more durable, it can last much longer than lower weight silk or synthetic fabrics.

Many people prefer high momme silk because it keeps its smooth feel, resists wear, and continues to look good even after years of use.

For those who want silk bedding that feels luxurious while also being made to last, 25 momme mulberry silk is one of the best choices available.
