About silk bedsheets
Silk is a fantastic natural fabric with unique properties that are completely unprecedented in other materials. Silk breathes outstandingly well and allows moisture to be transported out of the material with incredible ease. This allows for a great temperature regulation and keeps you at the perfect warmth over night. The reason fo this is that the mulberry silk butterfly when it is in it's cocoon stage has to keep evenly tempered - staying cool in the sun and yet keep their warmth during the cold night. Many synthetic materials try to replicate the properties of silk which have over thousands of years developed naturally by the mulberry silk larvae. Choose the quality original & experience the everyday luxury of sleeping in silk.
Silk Qualities
Woven silk which is commonly used in sheets for example, is not measured like cotton in threadcount but rather in weight per m2 - a unit called momme. This is logical considering how thin the silk thread is. The larger the weight, the stronger the silk fabric and the better the silk quality. A higher momme indicates more durable sheets and thinner silk fabric with a lower momme is often experienced as more slinky. Keep this in mind when you compare prices. Siden Selma sells silk sheets for home use with a delightful high quality of 16 momme and we always prioritize quality and sensation. The same principle goes for our popular travel sheets at 10 momme (43g/m2) which is a superior quality compared to other travel sheets on the market.
