100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase - 19 Momme - Exceptional Value

A: Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our pillowcases. This is a common question with many customers. Given that the thread is natural and can vary a bit with density, it is nearly impossible to standardize a thread count equivalent with silk momme. Momme is defined by the weight of 100 yards of silk, 45 inches wide, in pounds. Thread count is the count of thread by square inch. The weight by thread, on a small scale, can vary so the thread count will vary with the same momme weight. We have a Good Housekeeping Seal on our pillowcases and this idea of the problems of finding equivalencies in thread count and momme weight was something they are very well aware of when it comes to silk. That said, there are companies that put a thread count on their pillowcases. We believe that these numbers cannot be accurate and backed up or standardized by the companies. I hope this was helpful and please let us know if there are any additional questions you may have.
Thank you,
