Jasmine Silk 4-Piece Mulberry Silk Duvet Cover Set (Ivory, Double)

What is momme and why does 19 momme matter?

Momme is the unit used to measure silk weight and density. It's calculated based on the weight of a fixed amount of fabric. Higher momme numbers mean thicker, more durable silk. At 19 momme, this Jasmine Silk set sits at the heavier end of the scale, above the common 12-16 momme range found in budget silk bedding. This means better longevity and a more substantial, luxurious drape.

Is this duvet cover set suitable for people with allergies?

Yes. Silk naturally resists dust mites, mould and bacteria because of its tight weave and protein structure. This makes it a good option for people with asthma, eczema, or general skin sensitivity. Several reviewers mention the fabric feeling gentle against sensitive skin.

How do I wash this silk bedding set?

Wash at 30°C using a mild silk detergent. Tenestar is recommended by the brand for both machine and hand washing. After washing, air dry the fabric rather than tumble drying, then use a cool iron if needed. Avoid harsh detergents as these can damage the delicate silk fibres over time.

Will silk bedding keep me cool in summer?

Yes, silk is naturally temperature-regulating. It adjusts to your body heat, staying cooler in warm weather and warmer in cold weather. One reviewer specifically noted not sweating during hot weather, comparing it favourably to other fabric types. This is also why it suits people experiencing hot flushes.

What's included in this set?

The double set contains four pieces: one fitted sheet measuring 140cm x 190cm with 26cm pocket depth, one duvet cover measuring 200cm x 200cm with a 7cm border and two Oxford-style pillowcases measuring 50cm x 75cm with a 7cm border.

Does silk bedding stain easily?

Silk is more delicate than cotton and can mark if dirty items are left on it. One reviewer experienced permanent staining after leaving something unclean on the fabric. To avoid this keep the bedding clean and avoid contact with oils, cosmetics or dirty items before washing.

Is this silk set good value compared to other silk bedding?

At £450.00 for the full set (£112.50 per piece), this sits in the premium bedding category. However, reviewers who researched the market before buying noted Jasmine Silk offers competitive pricing for genuine 19 momme Mulberry silk compared to other UK sellers. The brand states it manufactures its own silk, cutting out middlemen to keep prices lower than typical retail silk bedding.

Can silk bedding help with skin and hair?

Silk contains 18 amino acids that help skin retain moisture overnight, unlike cotton which can absorb moisture from skin and hair. This may help reduce frizz and minimise fine lines caused by friction against rougher fabrics. It's a common reason people switch to silk pillowcases and bedding for beauty routines.
