What does 22 MM grade A silk mean?
A higher momme weight means the quality of the fibers in the silk is better, as in the fibers tend to be rounder, longer, more uniformly colored, and denser. Appearance-wise, higher momme silk is usually shinier and more lustrous due to a denser weave. 22 momme silk has a thread-count of 600. 22 momme silk has almost 20% more silk per square inch than 19 momme does. This denser weave protects the luster and sheen that silk possess and results in stronger durability. It’s estimated that 22 mm pure silk sheets have almost double the life of lower momme weights.

Why silk rather than cotton or satin?
Cotton pillowcases can cause your hair to pull and tangle throughout the night. The natural properties of silk can help reduce friction on your hair which often causes damage. It truly does pay to sleep on a silk pillowcase. Silk scrunchies will not break your hair when you do decide to wear it up, and you look super cute which is a bonus! When it comes to our silk face masks, say goodbye to the dreaded ‘’maskne’’ (acne caused by wearing a mask!) Silk against your skin doesn’t just feel better, it is visibly better for your skin and is also much more breathable than cotton face masks.
