This Valentine's Day, give your sweetheart (or yourself!) a gift that keeps on giving: the unparalleled luxury of 22 momme silk pillowcases and bedding from Mulberry Park Silks.
The Best Silk Valentine’s Day Gifts for Hair, Skin & Better Sleep are just a click away. Today we celebrate the silk that's captured hearts: our signature 22 momme collection. It's the ideal weight-substantial yet breathable-delivering all the beauty benefits silk is famous for (smoother hair, fewer wrinkles, perfect temperature) with the durability to last. Your sweetheart (and you!) deserves nothing less.
If you're new to silk bedding, "momme" (pronounced "mom-ee") is the unit of measurement for silk weight and density. Higher momme silk fabric is more tightly woven with longer and stronger individual fibers. Mulberry Park Silks products come in a range of 19 to 30 momme weight. Many of our clients find that 22 momme is the "sweet spot" for silk: luxuriously soft, breathable, and durable enough for nightly use.
Twenty-two momme maintains signature silk softness and breathability; it is substantial enough to feel indulgent, light enough to keep you comfortable through every season.
All pure mulberry silk offers friction-reducing and hydration benefits for hair and skin. But 22 momme silk provides these benefits with enhanced durability. The tighter weave means the smooth surface that protects your skin and hair will last over time. Unlike satin pillowcases made from polyester, real silk is a natural protein fiber that provides genuine benefits.
At this weight, pure mulberry silk is resilient enough for nightly use and regular washing. Many clients tell us their Mulberry Park silk pillowcases and sheets look as beautiful after years of use as they did on day one. With 22 momme silk, you're investing in luxury that lasts.
Silk naturally regulates temperature by wicking moisture away from your skin and by adapting to your body temperature, keeping you cool in warm conditions and helping retain heat when it's cold. Twenty-two momme silk is a versatile weight that works in all climates and seasons.
The beauty benefits of sleeping on silk are backed by science.
Cotton pillowcases create friction against your skin and hair as you move during sleep. This friction contributes to sleep wrinkles that can become permanent fine lines, and roughens hair cuticles, causing frizz and breakage. Mulberry Park Silks 22 momme silk is clinically proven to create 34% less friction and drag than cotton. This is especially beneficial for those with frizzy hair or concerns about wrinkles.
Your cotton pillowcase absorbs moisture from your skin and skincare products. Silk fiber is protein-based (like your hair and skin). A 100% pure mulberry silk pillowcase helps your hair and skin stay hydrated and also keeps pricey serums and creams on your face.
Pure mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and allergens. Unlike synthetic satin pillowcases made from polyester, a 100% mulberry silk pillowcase is a natural protein fabric that is ideal for sensitive skin.
Silk's natural temperature regulation helps you maintain ideal sleep temperature all night, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
Our bestselling silk product category, silk pillowcases, comes in multiple size options, including Standard, Queen, and King. The 22 momme silk pillowcase collection is available in your choice of a hidden zipper or generous envelope closure, with design details like French seams and closed zippers. . Be sure to pick up a mesh wash bag and silk-friendly detergent to keep your silk pillowcase looking and feeling great.
Our 22 momme silk sheet sets include a fitted sheet, flat sheet (detailed with a cuff), and two pillowcases (1 pillowcase for Twin/Twin XL). Sleeping fully enveloped in pure mulberry silk takes beauty benefits to the next level. Complete your silk bedding ensemble with our 22 momme duvet cover for a fully coordinated look. The smooth silk fabric surrounds you in luxury while protecting your comforter.

What does 22 momme silk mean?
Momme measures silk weight and density. 22 momme silk is an ideal weight for bedding. It offers a balance of softness, durability, and comfort. It's substantial enough to last while providing silk's signature breathability and temperature regulation.
Why is 22 momme silk a best seller?
Twenty-two momme silk is the "Goldilocks" weight, neither too light, which wears quicker, nor too heavy, which can be a bit heavy and warm. At this moment, silk weight, pure mulberry silk delivers maximum beauty benefits while providing durability for everyday luxury.
What's the difference between silk and satin?
Silk is a natural fabric made from silk fibers. Satin is a weave pattern, not a fabric type. Most "satin" products are polyester, a synthetic fabric that doesn't offer the same benefits. A pure silk pillowcase made from 100 percent mulberry silk provides genuine hair and skin benefits, while a polyester satin pillowcase only mimics silk's appearance. Always look for terms like "pure silk," "real silk," or "100% mulberry silk." Genuine silk will also have the momme weight listed.
What are the benefits of sleeping on silk pillowcases?
Silk pillowcases provide reduced friction for fewer sleep wrinkles and fine lines; less bedhead and hair breakage; better moisture retention to preserve skin and skincare products; natural temperature regulation; and hypoallergenic properties. The smooth silk fabric is especially beneficial for those with frizzy hair, sensitive skin, or aging concerns. Unlike a cotton pillowcase that creates friction and absorbs moisture, silk allows hair and skin to glide smoothly across the surface.
Are silk bonnets better than silk head scarves?
Both protect hair beautifully! Silk bonnets (available in short and long hair styles) stay secure all night and are ideal for natural hair, protective styles, or anyone who moves a lot during sleep. Silk head scarves offer versatility; you can wear them to sleep or style them for daytime fashion. Choose based on your hair length, style preferences, and whether you want a sleep-specific or multi-purpose accessory.
Many dermatologists recommend silk pillowcases for various skin concerns. The smooth surface reduces friction that contributes to sleep wrinkles and fine lines. Silk is less absorbent than cotton, helping skin retain moisture and keeping skincare products on your face. Pure mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic, ideal for sensitive skin and conditions like eczema.
Use cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent designed for silk or delicate fabrics. Machine wash on delicate cycle, placing silk items in a mesh wash bag. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners.
Air dry away from direct sunlight. Never put silk in the dryer, as high heat can damage silk fibers.
If needed, use the lowest steam setting or hang in a steamy bathroom.
Yes! Silk is a natural protein fabric providing excellent temperature regulation. It wicks moisture and adjusts to body temperature. At 22 momme weight, this works beautifully for all climates year-round, making silk pillowcases, sheets, and silk sleep masks comfortable whether you're a hot sleeper or tend to feel cold.
