100% silk pillowcase pair

These silk pillowcases are made from 100 percent mulberry silk; have a thread count over 400 threads per inch and a 'momme' count of about 19; and are woven in way that gives the silk a satiny appearance that is pure luxury against the skin.

Momme weight is a way of measuring things developed by the Japanese. Momme weight is a standard way of measuring the weight of silk as well as a common way to measure pearls. Momme is pronounced much like the word "mummy."

For silk sheets a momme weight of 12-19 is considered good quality with silk sheets in the range of 16-19 being very high quality. Anything lower than 12 will result in sheets that are not as durable as they should be which means they will be more prone with damage and tearing. (Many department stores sell silk sheets of lower momme weight.)

The higher the momme weight the heavier the fabric which means a greater amount of silk was used in the weaving process. 

Silk is gentle on your skin, hypoallergenic, breathable and wicks away moisture to provide a restful night's sleep.

Silk linens have been credited with many health benefits including comfort for allergy sufferers and easy of movement for those with arthritis and degenerative conditions such as Parkinsons.
