Silk sheet quality is primarily determined by momme, which indicates the weight of silk used in the fabric. A higher momme translates to a softer, more durable product. Common momme weights include 19, 25, and 30, with the latter being heavier and more luxurious. Additionally, silk's quality is assessed using a grading system from A-F, with grades 6A representing the highest standard. This grading considers various factors such as thread density and the overall appearance of the fabric, including its sheen and texture.
When it comes to silk sheets, quality is indicated by momme (silk weight) instead of thread count. The higher the momme, the more silk was used to make the item.
Silk quality is also graded on a scale from A-F with further subdivisions 2-6 that consider qualities like thread density, luster, and whether the fabric has many silk lumps.
For example, sheets that are 19-momme will feel lighter and thinner than 25- or 30-momme sheets, indicating the difference in quality and softness.
The gold standard for silk products of any kind is 6A, which represents the highest quality in terms of silk threads used.
