In our previous entry, we talked a lot about how silk is one of the best materials out there if it falls into the comfort of your bed. We have also discussed ways and tricks to choose what silk type is most suitable for sleeping. Thus, with all that knowledge in your head, it is time for us to show you our own selection of silk products. This might give you an idea you never even thought of! Now, as we imagine you lying in your bed, sit back and prepare yourself for this wondrous, silky, and luxurious sleep time starter pack!
As it is well known that silk is a very delicate and soft material, most of the products produced with silk are primarily used for things with a comforting function, such as blankets, bedsheets, sleepwear, etc. Due to its exquisite insulation properties, this material is widely used for this purpose.
Here at THXSILK, we provide a variety of silk products, especially for your sleeping needs. Starting with our luxurious silk sheets:
25 MOMME SILK FITTED SHEET
Our first entry for the silk sheet is the 25-Momme Silk Fitted Sheet. This luxurious bed sheet is made of 100% 25-momme Mullbery Sheet. If you don't know what Momme is, it is derived from a Japanese word pronounced mom-ee, which is a traditional unit of measurement for authentic silk. This word is usually abbreviated to mm, and it shows a 45-inch by 100-yard piece of fabric's weight in pounds.
These products consist of 750 thread counts, and as we have mentioned before in our blog, the best thread counts for fabric range from 400 to 800. And we think of 750 as a pretty balanced thread count. You don't want brick-weight silk covering your bed, right?
And of course, the most important fact is that it is made from 100% real Mulberry silk, which we think is without doubt the best aspect of this product. Mulberry silk, as we all know, is the best type of silk. It is undoubtedly the best of the best. With its insulating agent and hypoallergenic quality, sleeping on top of this type of silk is definitely a wonderful experience.
Still not convinced? How about this one
22 MOMME SILK FITTED SHEET
The first difference from the first product we recommended earlier is the amount of momme this product has. With a lesser momme count of 22, this sheet will definitely feel lighter. A lower momme count does not always imply a lower quality product. It all depends on what kind of quality you are looking for. For this one, it has lower momme counts and lower thread counts with only 400. This type of sheet is perfect if you don't want a material that is too thick, too heavy, or too rigid.
22 momme is often considered the ideal number, since some people find that products with a higher momme are uncomfortable on their skin because of their thicker nature. If you are just starting out, this is also a suitable option since it has the feel of silk, but it isn't as expensive as the 25 momme products.
The next item on the list comes from different parts of sleep schedules. Yep, a silk pillowcase. Of course, it is not complete when you buy a silk sheet if you haven't got your pair of silk pillowcases to complement that. Our first recommendation for silk pillowcases is
19 Momme Blossom Envelope Silk Pillowcase
For pillowcases, it is a different style of counting. As higher momme counts reflect the rigidity and thickness of the fabric, 19 momme we believe is the best amount for pillowcases. The fabric that you sleep on all night has to provide comfort and smoothness.
Higher momme counts make the products stiffer, and although that adds to the durability, it might cause discomfort on facial skin in terms of a pillowcase. Higher momme counts make the product more difficult to drape, lessening the aesthetic aspect of a pillowcase.
Enjoy a comfortable night's sleep with this 19 momme pillowcase. It has 400 thread counts and thus feels relatively light, especially for silk products. It is made of a natural fiber that counts for hypoallergenic quality, preventing asthma or allergies caused by cotton or other synthetic fibers.
22 Momme Zipper Silk Pillowcase
Don't care about the momme count and smoothness and want the luxurious 'ting' that the best quality silk can offer? Sure. Say no more with our best-selling silk pillowcase. With 22 Momme counts, it consists of a higher silk material, making it much more exquisite and, of course, a more durable product.
It has 600 thread counts, a relatively high thread count for the pillowcase. It is undoubtedly strong and persistent. However, it is wise not to have a pillow fight with this pillowcase.
To add to that, it is also graded 6A. This grade indicates the quality of silk, A, B, and C. A different type of silk product quality is indicated by each letter. C is the lowest-quality silk product, whereas A is the best. The number goes one step further than grading. It starts at 1, which is the lowest, and goes up to 6, which is the highest. As a result, when you encounter a silk product with a grade of 6A, you can be confident that the best silk of that particular type is available for purchase.
Conclusion
Although owning a luxurious emblem like silk sheets is nice, a good night's sleep is far more valuable! This mindset is why we love what we are doing here at THXSILK. We want to not only provide high-quality silk products but also ensure that everyone who likes and can afford our products has a good night's sleep.
We have provided our recommendation for a silky sleep starter pack, and we also would like to say that when making purchases that directly impact your health (sleep), it's critical to consider the long term. We believe one of the ways to do that is by utilizing silk material. Silk fabrics are a smart investment compared to having uncomfortable and restless evenings. It has many more benefits than disadvantages.
