Why Buy Your Silk Bedding from SimoSilk?
Because we tell you how to avoid getting
ripped off by other websites selling silk!
We are glad to educate you on what
questions you need to ask before you buy.
For example, just as you would never buy luxury bedding without
seeing its threadcount, you shouldn't buy
silk bedding unless you know its "momme"
weight.
Threadcount isn't used to measure
quality of cultivated silk. It is simply too
finely woven to be able to count the
threads. That's why the Asian method of mommes,
which calculates weight,
is used to measure quality. The higher the number of mommes,
the heavier the silk. The heavier that
cultivated silk is,
the higher the quality will be.
Don't buy from
anyone who
keeps mum about momme.
Watch out for other silk
bedding stores online who neglect to mention
the weight of their silks in mommes. They
are clearly hoping to profit from your lack
of understanding.
Silk 101: Look at
momme weight AND type of silk before you try to compare prices.
Be sure to check the number of mommes in a silk
bedding website's product description. If
there is no mention of mommes, you should be
prepared for their silk to be of the lowest
quality. So if their prices seem too good to
be true, they almost positively are.
The price of silk skyrocketed in 2011, so
we expect that even more silk bedding
websites will be charging high-momme prices for low-momme silk (i.e.
habotai).
This practice will not end until consumers
demand that silk merchants reveal the weight
of their silks in mommes — and charge
only fair prices.
Vote with your
wallet for fair silk bedding prices!
As a responsible direct importer, SimoSilk seeks to educate consumers
on such things as the importance of mommes
vs. threadcount so you can make an
informed choice when buying silk
bedding. Read our
