If you’ve been thinking about getting a silk pillowcase for a while, we’d like to help you along the way and explain what you should look for before you buy.

The higher the momme number, the denser and heavier the fabric, and the better quality it is considered to be. In general, a fabric with a higher momme is more sensitive and durable. This means that a silk cushion with a higher momme will simply last you longer. There are 19, 22 and 25 momme silk pillowcases available on the market. Adore Silk pillowcases are 22 momme density to provide softness and durability. Type of fabric:<\/strong> there are different types of silk fabrics. There are different types of silk fabrics.
