Not all silk is the same. Even though silk always feels soft and luxurious at first glance, there are significant differences in terms of quality, durability, and care properties – depending on its classification.
TownsSilk exclusively uses 6A grade mulberry silk (100%) to meet the highest demands for comfort and craftsmanship.
What does the silk classification mean – and why is it important?
The quality of silk is assessed based on criteria such as purity, fiber length, luster, and durability. The finest silk is classified as Grade A, with subcategories ranging from 2A to 6A, where 6A represents the best achievable quality.
Silks of lower classes, such as B or C, often exhibit irregularities, a rougher texture, or discolorations. They are less breathable, less skin-friendly, and hardly suitable for daily luxury use.
When it comes to products that come into direct contact with the skin – such as silk pillowcases, silk robes, or sleep masks – one should pay attention to the highest quality. Otherwise, both the skin feel and the function will suffer.
What makes mulberry silk of class 6A so special?
A natural, elegant shine
In contrast to synthetic blends or inferior silk, the 6A mulberry silk from TownsSilk is characterized by a pearlescent, noble luster that appears luxurious but never artificial.
Extraordinary softness and skin compatibility
The particularly long, uniform fibers allow for a silky, almost weightless skin feel – without friction. The silk is breathable, hypoallergenic, and ideal for sensitive skin types.
Above-average durability
Despite its delicate structure, 6A silk is surprisingly robust. The high tear strength ensures that pillowcases and robes do not wear out even with frequent use and gentle washing. An investment that pays off in the long run.
Intensive color absorption
Thanks to its pure, ivory-colored base, 6A silk absorbs dyes particularly evenly and intensely. Whether delicate pastel shades or rich gemstone colors – the color brilliance remains intact even after many washes.
Recognition in the luxury world
The silk of class 6A is regarded as the gold standard worldwide. It combines technical excellence with aesthetic value. A product of this quality is not just a textile – it is an experience.
What should you pay attention to when buying silk?
To ensure that it is genuine premium silk, the following features should be noted:
100% Mulberry Silk: The best available silk fiber – at TownsSilk, it comes exclusively from the Bombyx mori, the mulberry silkworm.
Class 6A: Pay attention not only to the term "silk," but specifically to the quality level.
Momme weight: The higher the momme number (e.g. 22 momme), the denser and more durable the fabric is.
OEKO-TEX® certification: A proof that the product was manufactured without harmful chemicals.
Avoid misleading terms such as "silk-like," "satin," "silky feel," or "artificial silk." Satin is merely a weave and is often made from polyester or cotton – not real silk. Only 100% mulberry silk of grade 6A offers the unparalleled experience that TownsSilk stands for.
The true value of luxurious silk products
Choosing a product from TownsSilk means more than just making a purchase – it is a commitment to better sleep, gentle skin contact, and timeless aesthetics.
While inferior silk or cotton pillowcases need to be replaced quickly and have little skin-care properties, our pillowcases, robes, and accessories maintain their quality for years – and even improve over time.
When is the right time for real quality?
Whether you want to upgrade your bedding or are looking for a thoughtful, high-quality gift – with the 6A products from TownsSilk, you always make the right choice. The difference is immediately noticeable – and lasts over time.
