22 Momme Silk Pillowcase

Order FAQs

1. Why is 22 momme specifically recommended for pillowcases, and how does it compare to lower (e.g., 19) or higher (e.g., 25) momme weights in terms of durability, feel, and hair/skin benefits?

22 momme is the industry’s sweet spot for sleepwear. It’s substantially more durable than 19 momme (withstands 200+ more home washes in our abrasion tests), yet retains a luxuriously soft, fluid drape unlike heavier 25+ momme silk which can feel stiffer. Its optimal density provides the perfect balance of smoothness to reduce hair friction and facial creasing while maintaining long-term value.

2. What is the exact construction and stitching method used to ensure the envelope closure is secure, durable, and doesn’t leave an imprint on the skin?

We use a French seam construction throughout, enclosing all raw edges for a clean interior. The envelope closure features a “no-bump” design: the inner flap is cut on a curve and finished with a narrow hem, while the outer flap uses a self-fabric facing (not just a folded edge). This creates a seamless, flat overlap secured with reinforced bar tacks at each corner, eliminating any pressure points or imprint lines.

3. Do you offer both standard and Oxford pillowcase sizes? Can you produce custom sizes for non-standard pillows (e.g., European squares, travel pillows)?

We stock both Standard (20″x26″+2″) and Queen (20″x30″+2″) sizes with our envelope closure. For Oxford styles (with a decorative flange) or fully custom dimensions (e.g., 26″x26″ EU square, 12″x16″ travel), the minimum order quantity is 500 pieces per unique size. We provide cut patterns for approval.

4. What color range do you offer? Is the dyeing process colorfast and resistant to fading from sunlight and washing with common detergents?

We offer over 30 standard colors from our curated palette, dyed with fiber-reactive dyes for molecular bonding with the silk. Each batch undergoes AATCC 61 (Colorfastness to Laundering) and AATCC 16 (Colorfastness to Light) testing. We guarantee minimal fading (Grade 4 or higher on grayscale) for the product’s lifespan and provide pre-production lab-dip approval for custom colors.

5. What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ), and what are the pricing benefits for larger volume orders or long-term partnerships?

Our base MOQ is 300 pieces per SKU (color/size combination). We offer tiered pricing with significant breaks at 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000+ pieces. For long-term partners committing to quarterly or annual volume forecasts, we offer locked-in pricing, priority production slots, and shared inventory planning.

6. Can you add custom embroidery, such as monograms or small logos? Where is it typically placed, and what are the minimums and cost implications?

Yes, we offer delicate single-needle embroidery. The recommended placement is on the back side of the envelope flap for subtlety. MOQ for embroidery is 200 pieces per design/location. Cost depends on stitch count; a simple 2-letter monogram adds approximately 15-20% to the base cost. We provide a stitch count estimate and digital preview.

7. What packaging options do you provide that are suitable for both bulk shipping to distributors and individual retail presentation?

We offer three tiers:

Bulk/Wholesale: Compressed in polybags, 50 units per master carton.

Retail Ready: Individually folded in branded, recyclable carton boxes with tissue.

Premium Gift: Boxed sets of 2 with a satin drawstring storage pouch.
Custom packaging MOQs start at 1,000 units.

8. What certifications can you provide regarding the silk quality (e.g., mulberry silk grade, Oeko-Tex Standard 100) and your manufacturing processes?

We provide full transparency:

Material: Certificate of Authenticity for 6A Grade Mulberry Silk.

Safety: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification (suitable for infants’ skin) for all dyed fabrics.

Process: Our facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified for quality management.
