Identify Silk Sheets

When you plan to order there must be a great problem bothered you. I think you must want to know the methods to distinguish the high quality silk sheets from fake or poor quality silk sheets. Here are several tips for you to distinguish the quality.

1.On appearance
The appearance of high quality silk sheets has a pearl-like color, and the light has the ability of refraction. High quality are clean and impurities, the silk lines are orderly and orderly. However, the fake or poor quality often adds bleaching agent or other chemicals, which makes its appearance pale, not shiny and without moist sense. Fake or poor quality silk sheets have more impurities and the silk lines are more disordered.
2.On touching
The high quality feel soft, smooth and elastic, without hard masses. While the fake or inferior silk sheets is rough, hard and inelastic, with more cocoon stem,cocoon piece, raw cocoon, and pupa. Materials with oily or mildewy odor are fake or poor quality
3.On burning states
Pure silk will turn into dust immediately after burning. And then it will show in loose gray color with a smell of charred hair.
4.On fibre strength
The stronger of the fibre strength, the higher quality silk is. The same length silkworm line, after drawing, the longer, the better quality. Generally good mulberry silk can be pulled to more than 100 centimeters.
5.On dissolving test
Using disinfectant to do dissolve test, if it is pure silk, put it in disinfectant, three or five minutes later the silk will gradually dissolve and disappear.

Differences between 19/22/25mm

Q: What’s your silk bedding’s thickness?
A: 16mm.
Q: Are you kidding? It is 1.6mm, isn’t it?
A: Eh........
It seems that this kind of dialogue is very common. Actually, the right answer is 16mm=16m/m=16momme
Well, you maybe wondering what momme is?
1 momme = 4.3056 grams per square meter
According to that you will have a clear realization that momme is a unit of weight while not a simple unit of thickness.
19mm = 81.8064 gram per square meter
22mm = 94.7232 gram per square meter
25mm = 107.64 gram per square meter
Except the weight difference, there also are some difference between 19mm/22mm/25mm. Actually 19mm has already been the higher quality silk and more durable than most other on selling . 100% 19mm mulberry silk are 400 thread count, while 22mm are 600 thread count and 25mm are 750 thread count. The higher the figure of momme is, the more expensive. 22momme are more durable than 19mm, while less durable than 25 momme . The fibre strength of 25mm silk is better than 22mm silk and 19mm silk. Similarly, the glossiness of 25mm silk sheets are higher. And the bigger the value is, the more obviously. Here is a chart.

How to choose silk sheets

Personally, comfort is the most important factor when you purchase the bedlinen. While the fabric is the most important element deciding the comfort. Many fabrics are born with specific functions and missions. The fabric itself can’t be defined as right or wrong. It just can be judged as suitable or not suitable to be used to produce some kind of products. For example, silk are suitable for personal bedding. It’s soft, comfort and breathable. If your curtains were made of silk, that would be vandalismus. Likewise, chenille fabric’s heavy and draping property for curtains are awesome. But for bedding, that must be terrible. Therefore, only appropriate fabric can bring the ideal effect. And then to do some promotion based on the appropriate fabric will improve the comfort feeling. Sheets’ size should be decided by the size of your mattress. By the way, OOSILK provides customize service for free. As for the color of the sheets, you can choose whichever you like. Or you can decide the color according to your bedroom’s decoration style. Normally, light color looks more fresh, relax and clean and tidy. Dark color are more calm and noble.
