Which silk pajamas should you choose? A guide to combining softness, quality, and elegance
For the past few years, silk pyjamas have appealed to those — and those — who want to combine softness, elegance and awareness even in the simplest moments of the day: in the evening, in the morning, or on Sunday.
But with such a wide range of prices, materials, and styles, how do you find your way around? Here's our complete guide to making an informed choice.
1. Why choose silk pyjamas?
Silk is an exceptional natural fiber, derived from the cocoon of the silkworm. It is soft, smooth, and glides over the skin without friction — a real advantage for sensitive skin.
Its thermoregulatory properties make it a unique fabric: cool in summer, warm in winter. It naturally adapts to changes in body temperature, promoting restful 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 consider before buying
✔️ Silk type
Opt for mulberry silk , renowned for its fineness, softness, and durability. Avoid blends or synthetic satins, which do not have the same properties.
✔️ Weight of silk (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 free from harmful substances. A guarantee of safety for both skin and the environment.
✔️ Finishing details
Mother-of-pearl buttons, discreet embroidery, elegant stitching… these are the details that reveal a truly high-end pyjama.
3. Silk pyjamas: for whom? for what purpose?
- For sensitive skin: silk soothes and respects the epidermis.
- For a refined gift: a silk pyjama set is an intimate and precious present.
-
For living at home with elegance: perfect for writing, meditating or entertaining — far from soulless homewear.
4. Why quality has a price
A pair of genuine silk pajamas is an exceptional garment. It comes at a price — but that price reflects:
- A rare material : 22 momme mulberry silk is luminous, durable, precious.
- Meticulous craftsmanship : every seam, every button, every embroidery requires time and expertise.
- A commitment : choosing certified silk, respectful of humans and the planet, at a fair price.
Silk also reveals all its benefits when worn at night, in a more holistic approach to the evening ritual and sleep.
