About Silk Bedding

Do you know what is smooth as silk, keeps you cool during summertime, warm during wintertime, and is naturally hypoallergenic? If you said silk, then you would be right! Silk bedding is the ideal cool option for those broiling summer months and is a toasty and cozy option for those cold winter months. How can silk be both at the same time? Well, silk breathes and absorbs the moisture created from sweat, which keeps you cool and perfectly comfortable all year long. It is a fabric that naturally drapes thereby hugging the body gently. It also helps eliminate air pockets and keeps the body's heat in better which helps keep you warm all winter long. The fact that it is truly a fabric that self-adjusts lends it an almost magical quality. So consider silk bed linen for yourself, but don't forget about silk baby bedding as well.

When you are looking at silk sheets, considering threadcount is a good idea, but not as crucial as the momme weight. This is pronounced like mummy. You measure silk by momme weight since it is so fine and light. The higher the momme weight is for your set of silk sheets, the heavier the material will be. If you see some sheets that only have a momme weight of around 6-9, that set is not going to be very long-lasting or durable. You should look for silk sheets with that have a momme weight somewhere between twelve and nineteen. 
But still keep threadcount in mind and look at silk sheets that have a threadcount around 400 or above.

There are two main kinds of silk that are used for silk bedding and silk bed linen.  These would be wild silk and cultivated silk. As you might anticipate, wild silk comes from wild silk worms. Their filament threads aren't continuous long strands like the ones in cultivated silk so it isn't as long-lasting or strong as cultivated silk would be. How durable your sheets will be is definitely a big consideration. Even though are more expensive, sheets that are made from cultivated silk are a good idea since the filament strands are so much longer. Cultivated silk is generally called Mulberry Silk because that is actually the only food that cultivated silkworms eat. Mulberry silk is more expensive than wild silk. Habutai, Tussah, and wild silk can be rather nice too but are a little bit less expensive.
