When we talk about silk, we think of softness, elegance, and comfort. But few people know that momme is an important element that truly determines the quality of silk.

What exactly is momme?

Momme is a Japanese unit of measurement that indicates the density and weight of silk. The higher the number, the thicker, stronger, and more luxurious the silk is. Momme therefore acts as a quality benchmark, much like the number of carats for gold, or the GSM (weight) for paper or a t-shirt. It helps you know what you are really buying, beyond just the appearance. It is a quality indicator that you cannot see, but that you feel immediately.

14, 19, 22, 30 momme… How to choose the right silk density?

For example, when buying a silk pillowcase, the price can vary significantly from one model to another. And often, we think that all silks are the same. However, this is not the case. The difference in price is often explained by the momme. And believe us, it is a detail that changes everything.

👉 14 to 19 momme: we find these weights in pajamas, nightgowns, light sheets, or entry-level pillowcases. The silk is soft and pleasant, but less durable.

👉 22 momme: this is the standard for high-end pillowcases, sleep masks, or even superior quality pajamas.

👉 30 momme: this is the pinnacle of luxury. It is the best quality silk on the market. Perfect for those who want an exceptional material.

By choosing either one, you are making a lasting beauty investment: a denser, softer, more effective silk… and above all, more cost-effective over time.

This is why we make it a point of honor to clearly state the momme on each of our products. Because for us, you deserve to know what you are buying.
