Our Oxford pillowcases 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.

We always recommend hand washing our silk bedding, but it can also be machine washed at 30 degrees celsius or lower on a delicate cycle. For small items, use a fine mesh washing bag, and always use washing liquid and fabric conditioner made specifically for silk, to maintain its beautiful lustre. Make sure to line dry the silk bedding as it is not suitable for tumble drying.
