Before You Buy: What to Know About Silk Bedding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Momme (MM)<\/strong>: This refers to the weight of the silk. A lower momme (like 19MM) feels lighter and is suitable for warm climates or summer months. A 22MM is the sweet spot for everyday luxury. If you’re looking for something more substantial and durable, especially for King and California King beds, go for 25MM or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pocket depth<\/strong>: Don\u2019t just look at mattress length and width. Today\u2019s premium mattresses are often much thicker due to pillow tops or toppers. Make sure your fitted silk sheet has a deep pocket\u201414 to 18 inches is ideal for most Queen and King mattresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silk type<\/strong>: The best silk for bedding is 100% Mulberry silk. It\u2019s smoother, more durable, and more breathable than wild or synthetic alternatives. Avoid anything labeled as “silky” or “satin-like”\u2014those are often polyester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
