Silk Fabric : 19 Momme;
Mommes (mm), is a unit traditionally used to measure the quality of silk fabrics. One momme = 4.340 grams per square meter; 8 mommes is approximately 1 ounce per square yard or 35 grams per square meter.
For bedding, the higher the weight in momme, the better the silk bedding is. Sheets between 19-25 momme are considered ideal silk with momme weight. Lower than 19 are not suitable for the production of quality silk bedding linen.
Silk Benefits :

2. Protects skin from further damage - a natural part of silk is the protein sericin which leaves a protective barrier on skin helping prevent further damage.
3. Nourishes and protects the hair - in the same way that the skin is nourished and protected the amino acids and the protein sericin nourish and protect your hair too.
