You can usually see and feel quality but if you want to know just how much more quality it is then go by the Momme number, it is the method by which the quality of silk is graded.
Typically most bedding and pillowcases are made from 19 Momme, the higher the number the thicker and more durable the material is. Only Silk Pillowcase use 22 Momme for all their products.
When satin is mentioned, the term will generally refer to satin that is woven from a man-made fabric – usually polyester. Polyester is made from oil polymers, and its chemical structure is actually very similar to plastic.
Meaning you will be laying you head on something that could make you uncomfortable warm Silk on the other hand is a natural fabric that with keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Our Mulberry silk is very smooth, which means it has less friction than cotton or cheaper silk. Friction can cause hair nightmares like split ends and frizz. If this is reduced, then your hair will soon feel the benefits. After sleeping on a silk pillowcase you will soon enjoy having smoother, shinier hair.
Let’s be honest, everyone must agree that Mulberry silk is the most luxuriously, beautiful material on the planet but did you know also just how good it is for you?
Silk won’t drag your skin or hair, more like you will glide over it, so if you have trouble with bed hair or wrinkles, silk will help with caring for you by reducing tangles and not pulling on your skin.
If you have sensitive or fragile skin, silk won’t suck the moisture out of you like cotton or synthetic fibres do, so it doesn’t irritate. It’s so closely woven it can’t hold onto dust, pollen or mites that can affect those of us sensitive to allergens.
If you are temperature sensitive, in the summer silk creates almost a shield of cooler air because it allows your skin to breathe but in the winter it traps the warmer air and keeps you warm and snug.
