Which silk pajamas should you choose? A guide to combining softness, quality, and elegance

For several years now, silk pajamas have been seducing those who want to combine softness, elegance and awareness even in the simplest moments of the day: evening, morning, or Sunday.

But with so many different prices, materials, and styles, how can you find your way around? Here's our complete guide to making an informed choice.

1. Why choose silk pajamas?

Silk is an exceptional natural fiber, derived from the cocoon of the silkworm. It is soft, smooth, and glides smoothly over the skin—an asset for sensitive skin.

Its thermoregulatory properties make it a unique fabric: cool in summer, enveloping in winter. It naturally accompanies variations in body temperature, promoting peaceful sleep.

Finally, silk possesses a rare elegance. Silk pajamas transform the evening ritual into a moment of pampering. A discreet, yet profound luxury.

2. Criteria to look at before buying

✔️ Type of silk

Choose mulberry silk, known for its fineness, softness, and durability. Avoid blends or synthetic satins, which don't have the same properties.

✔️ Silk weight (momme)

Momme refers to the thickness of the fabric. Silk between 19 and 22 momme offers optimal comfort and excellent durability.

✔️ Certification

The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification guarantees silk is free from harmful substances. A guarantee of safety for both skin and the environment.

✔️ Finishing details

Mother-of-pearl buttons, discreet embroidery, elegant seams... these are the finishes that reveal truly high-end pajamas.

3. Silk pajamas: for whom? for what?

  • For sensitive skin : silk soothes and respects the epidermis.</li>
  • To offer a refined gift : silk pajamas are an intimate and precious present.
  • For stylish living at home: perfect for writing, meditating or entertaining—a far cry from soulless homewear.

4. Why quality comes at a price

Genuine silk pajamas are an exceptional garment. They come at a cost—but that cost reflects:

  • A rare material : 22 momme mulberry silk is luminous, durable, precious.
  • Careful craftsmanship : each seam, each button, each embroidery requires time and expertise.
  • A commitment : choosing certified silk, respectful of humans and the planet, at a fair price.

5. Maison CÉTOILE — a promise of night

At Maison CÉTOILE we have chosen to create an evening wardrobe that meets our requirements.

  • Natural silk 22 momme , OEKO-TEX® certified
  • Discreet embroidery of the accentuated “C” and mother-of-pearl buttons
