Momme is the weight measure for silk, and it is the number that separates real silk pillowcases from thin ones sold at the same price. ZIMASILK uses 25 momme grade 6A mulberry silk on both sides, against the 19 to 22 momme that most competing pillowcases use. Heavier silk drapes better, resists snagging, and survives more wash cycles before it thins. The functional argument for silk is friction: it reduces the drag that pulls at hair and creases skin overnight, which is why it shows up in curly hair and skincare routines. A hidden YKK zipper keeps the pillow inside without a flap, and the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified. Best fit: anyone with textured or color-treated hair, or who wakes with sleep lines that take an hour to fade.
Pros
- 25 momme silk, meaningfully heavier than the 19 to 22 momme most brands sell
- Grade 6A mulberry silk on both sides, not silk on one face and cotton on the other
- Hidden YKK zipper holds the pillow in without an envelope flap working loose
- OEKO-TEX certified, so the dyes and finishes are tested
Cons
- Silk needs cold gentle washing and no fabric softener, so it will not survive your normal cycle
Frequently asked questions
What does momme actually mean?
Momme is the weight of the silk, similar to thread count for cotton. Higher momme means a denser, heavier weave. Most pillowcases are 19 to 22 momme. At 25 this one is heavier, which affects drape and durability.
How do I wash it?
Cold water on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, mild detergent, no bleach and no fabric softener. Hang or lay flat to dry. Machine drying on heat will damage the fibers.
Is it silk on both sides?
Yes, grade 6A mulberry silk on both faces. Some cheaper pillowcases use silk on the sleeping side and a synthetic backing, which is worth checking on any listing.
Will it help with frizzy or curly hair?
Silk reduces friction against the hair shaft compared to cotton, which is why it is recommended in curly hair routines. It reduces overnight frizz and breakage. It will not change your hair texture.
