Ultimately, the choice of silk vs. flannel sheets and the specific qualities of king sheets comes down to personal preference and needs.  By considering factors like bed sheet material, thread count, and fit, you can make an informed decision and choose great quality sheets that will provide comfort and satisfaction for years to come.

Thread count is another important factor, but not in the way it is popularly conceived. The common knowledge about thread count is that higher is always better, but that’s not always true. In fact, brands selling sheets with astronomically high thread counts in the thousands are usually fudging the numbers with double-ply threads or other sly methods.

Silk momme - As silk fibres are much thinner in diameter than cotton, momme is used instead of thread count. Momme describes silk’s weight and density. The higher the momm, the more strands of silk per 100 yards of fabric, which means that the silk will be higher quality and more durable. Momme measurements range from 11-momme to 25-momme, with 22-Momme the ideal measurement for the best quality silk bedding or clothing.
