Congratulations! It looks like you have made the wise decision to upgrade your sleep experience by purchasing a mulberry silk flat sheet for your bed. Silk is a wonderful, breathable natural fiber that feels luxurious on the skin, providing the ultimate in lux comfort. However, not all silk sheets are created equal. Here are some things to keep in mind when buying a mulberry silk flat sheet online.
Choose Real Silk
When you search for silk sheets, you will get many options that are not actually silk. Sheets that have a silky feel, satin sheets, rayon, bamboo, or other materials are not silk. Real silk sheets will be labeled 100% real silk.
Choose Mulberry Silk
While all silk is luxurious natural fabric, mulberry silk takes that luxury up a notch. Usually, adult silkworms that are allowed to feed naturally spin silk fibers. For mulberry silk, the silkworms feed exclusively on mulberry silk. The results are a more uniform silk, longer fiber lengths, and a consistent feel.
Know Your Silk Grades
Did you know that silk has quality grades? Many people do not. Silk is graded by letters A-C, with A being the best grade. Each grade is then broken up into smaller categories 1-6, with 6 being the best category. Grade 6A silk is considered the ultimate in silk quality.
Understand Momme
If you are familiar with cotton sheets, you understand thread count. Momme is similar. It refers to the weight of a certain piece of material. The higher the momme, the higher quality the fabric. We offer sheets in 19, 22, and 25 momme.
Understanding Allergens
Silk sheets are naturally allergenic. They repel dust mites, which are a primary cause of allergies in people. In addition, because silk is made of similar proteins to human hair, the fabric itself triggers fewer allergic reactions than most natural or synthetic fabrics.
