There are few bedding upgrades as luxurious as a great set of silk sheets. But, because pure silk bedding is an investment, it pays to do your research beforehand. When shopping for the best silk sheets, you’ll need to know a few things upfront. First, it’s important to examine the type of silk and how the sheets are constructed. You’ll most commonly find sheets made of Mulberry silk, a high-quality silk produced by worms that are only fed Mulberry leaves. Also, keep your eyes peeled for sheets with a charmeuse weaves — which is a particular weaving tactic that creates a shiny finish on one side and a muted finish on the other.
Next, you’ll want to consider the weight of silk. Whereas thread count is held up as a measure of the quality of cotton sheets, momme weight is the true measure of the quality of a silk fabric. Momme weight refers to the weight of the silk in 100 yards, and ranges from six to 30. For silk bedding, experts recommend a weight ranging from 19 to 25 mommes in order to find the best combination of strength, quality, and affordability. A silk sheet set with a momme weight closer to 19 will feel more lightweight, and one closer to 25 will feel heavier, but offer more durability.
In addition to your preferred weight, opt for the sheets that come in the color you like best — you’ll find tons of them ahead, from restful neutrals to rich jewel tones. Also decide whether you want a full set of sheets, or if you’d prefer to start small with an individual sheet. Of course, budget is a factor, too. Note that all the products here list prices for the queen-sized sheets, so be sure to check the price for the size you need.
