Silk Beddings Knowledge

◆Silk Charmeuse: Silk fabric made of unboiled mulberry raw silk. With at least five tricot & weft lines in each dense and solid stitch, shiny and smooth in surface, and dull and crepe underside, silk charmeuse is the major category of silk beddings using the most sophisticated technologies and highest level of process, with the most luxury appearance and extremely soft hand feel.

◆Momme Weight: Because silk is such a fine fabric, it is generally measured by “momme weight” instead of thread count.  Momme (pronounced “mummy”) is a unit of weight used to measure and describe silk fabrics,usually expressed in momme weight (m/m).The higher the momme, the heavier the fabric. GSM refers to grams per square meter of fabric. It is the major computation unit for fabric texture. 1m/m=4.3g.

◆Silk under 19 momme (10 m/m, 12m/m,14m/m,16m/m) is considered lightweight, 19 momme is considered mediumweight and anything above(22 m/m, 25 m/m, 30 m/m) that is considered heavyweight, You can calculate that if a 16 m/m silk charmeuse sells for $100.00 it would stand to reason that a 30m/m would be more expensive and so on.

◆Seamless: Ususlly the width of silk fabric is 45"/ 114cm, most of silk beddings have a join across the sheet, the seamless silk beddings are made of extra wide silk fabric, rare and much more expensive, and nobler;
