19 Momme: The Whisper-Light Pick for Summer Nights

• Feel: thin, cool and second-skin soft—like laying a sheet of air on your skin
• Best for: tropical climates, hot summers and heavy “warm sleepers”
• Life span: 2–3 years with proper care
• Price: most budget-friendly of the three; great for guest rooms and travel pieces

22 Momme: The Goldilocks Weight for All Seasons

• Best for: most European & North American bedrooms at 16–24 °C
• Life span: 3–5 years, top value for money
• Highlight: mainstream spec with the widest range of matching styles

25 Momme: Luxury, Investment-Grade Heft

• Feel: noticeably thicker, lush sheen, hotel-style “liquid drape”
• Best for: winter, air-conditioned rooms or anyone who loves a cocooning embrace
• Life span: 5+ years, highly wash- and wear-resistant
• Ideal for: wedding gifts, boutique stays, long-term personal use

2. Check budget: entry level or frequent replacements → 19 mm; daily workhorse → 22 mm; one-time investment → 25 mm.
3. Check lifespan: plan to replace in 2 years → 19 mm; carefree for 3–5 years → 22 mm; heirloom potential → 25 mm.

Top 3 Questions from EU-US Buyers

• Q: “25 millimeters” = 25 momme?
  A: No! Momme is fabric weight, not thickness—don’t let sellers blur the lines.
• Q: Silk is expensive, so is a low price always fake?
  A: Rock-bottom prices are suspicious. For a Queen four-piece set, 22 mm under USD 250/EUR 230 is almost surely polyester.
• Q: Any safety certifications?
  A: Look for OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 or Bluesign labels to win over EU-US markets.

4 Basic Care Rules

• Cold water + silk detergent, hand wash or machine “Silk/Delicate” cycle
• No bleach or high-heat tumble; hang inside out in the shade
• Low-heat steam iron with a pressing cloth
• Once dry, fold into a cotton bag—avoid vacuum compression
