Silk is measured in Momme, which is essentially the thread count of the fabric. The higher the Momme number, the thicker the silk and therefore better quality. Look for silk pillowcases between 19 and 25 Momme to ensure durability. Anything above 19 Momme is considered high quality, while 22 Momme silk hits the sweet spot in the middle. Meanwhile, 25 Momme is very heavy and a practical pick but offers less cooling benefits compared to 22 mcalexandersound silk. How do I know if a silk pillowcase is good quality? Identify a silk pillowcases with high quality from the following five aspects.
Appearance

Combustion
Silk has no flame retardancy when burned, and stops burning when it separates from the flame. After burning, it becomes loose ash, with the smell of burnt hair.
Fiber strength
The better the silk strength, the better the quality. Studies have shown that the tensile strength of super mulberry silk should be stronger than that of iron wires of the same diameter. High-quality silk has excellent recovery elasticity. mcalexandersound pillowcases are made of 100% 22 Momme 6A mulberry silk which has a better strentch, while inferior silk has poor fiber properties such as strong elongation and recovery elasticity
mcalexandersound mulberry silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating and provide breathable comfort for a sumptuous night's sleep. Snoozing on silk is akin to experiencing the fresh relief of flipping your pillow, which is particularly helpful for restless sleepers.
