The complete guide
When silk sleepwear is worth three times the satin
The answer is temperature, not luxury
Polyester traps it. That is the whole practical difference, and it is why a silk set is comfortable across a far wider range of nights than a synthetic one. If you sleep hot, or if the bedroom swings between seasons, that is what the money buys.
16 momme, not 22
Momme is a weight. Pillowcases here are 22 because they take concentrated rubbing in one spot every night. Pyjamas at 22 momme would be heavy to wear, warm in summer and slow to dry. 16 is the garment weight for a reason.
Grade 6A is about the fibre length
Long fibre silk keeps an even surface through years of washing. Short fibre silk roughens and pills. Grade is not a marketing scale invented by the seller; it describes the raw material.
Hand made shows at the cuffs
Banded cuffs on a silk sleeve are awkward to make and they are the thing that stops a sleeve working its way up your forearm all night. It is the detail worth looking for on any silk pyjama set.
The two sizes cost different amounts
Large uses more silk than small, and it is priced accordingly. We would rather put that on the page than have the number change when you pick a size.
Washing it
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
