We chose 25 momme because we wanted to offer a better value. By using about 14% more silk by weight than the 22 momme pillowcases sold by brands including Blissy and Slip, we sought to create a pillowcase that feels more luxurious, offers greater durability and has the potential to last longer with proper care.
But momme wasn't our only consideration. From the quality of the silk to our oversized envelope closure, every detail of our 25 Momme Silk Pillowcase was chosen with comfort, quality and lasting value in mind.
Key takeaways
- 25 momme has about 14% more silk by weight than 22 momme.
- Our silk is Grade 6A long-strand mulberry silk in a charmeuse weave.
- An oversized envelope closure replaces the zipper.
- Recommended by a facial plastic surgeon and recognized by CNN Underscored and Good Housekeeping.
What Does 25 Momme Mean?
Momme (pronounced “mommy”) is a measurement of silk fabric by weight. Simply put, a higher momme means more silk by weight. For a full breakdown of our silk weights, see our Silk Pillowcase Momme Guide.
That's important when comparing silk pillowcases. Two pillowcases can both be made from high-quality mulberry silk but use different amounts of silk.
Our signature pillowcase is 25 momme. Blissy and Slip use 22 momme silk in the pillowcases compared here.
How Much More Silk Is in 25 Momme vs. 22 Momme?
The difference between 22 and 25 momme may sound small, but it represents a meaningful increase in the amount of silk by weight.
The difference is 3 momme. To determine the percentage increase, we compare that increase with the original 22 momme:
That extra silk creates a denser, more substantial fabric. We chose it because we wanted a pillowcase with a luxurious feel and greater durability, with the potential to last longer with proper care.
We could have stopped at 22 momme. We chose 25 because we wanted to give you more silk for your money.
Fishers Finery vs. Blissy vs. Slip: What's the Difference?
Fishers Finery, Blissy and Slip all offer premium mulberry silk pillowcases. One of the clearest differences is the amount of silk used.
| Our 25 mommeFishers Finery™ | Blissy | Slip | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silk weight | 25 momme | 22 momme | 22 momme |
| Silk | Grade 6A long-strand mulberry | Grade 6A mulberry | Grade 6A long-fiber mulberry |
| Closure | Oversized envelope | Hidden zipper | Zippered styles available |
The biggest difference for us is straightforward: our 25 momme fabric contains about 14% more silk by weight than 22 momme.
All three brands use high-quality mulberry silk. We chose to use more of it. See our full silk pillowcase comparison for current pricing and specifications.
Why We Chose an Oversized Envelope Closure Instead of a Zipper
Momme isn't the only difference.
Blissy uses a hidden zipper, and Slip offers zippered pillowcases. We chose an oversized envelope closure with an offset side entry.
The generous envelope is designed to keep your pillow securely inside without adding hardware to the pillowcase. There is no zipper against your pillow, hair or skin and no zipper to become another potential point of wear.
The offset opening also allows our pillowcase to have the finished look of a sham while letting you comfortably sleep on either side.
A zipper and an envelope can both keep a pillow in place. We simply preferred to accomplish it without adding hardware.
It's another example of how we approached our pillowcase: not by asking what everyone else was doing, but by asking what we thought would make the finished product better.
Is 25 Momme Better Than 22 Momme?
Yes, when you're looking for more silk, a more substantial feel and greater durability.
A 25 momme silk fabric contains approximately 14% more silk by weight than 22 momme. That additional silk creates a denser, more substantial fabric and gives it the potential to last longer with proper care.
Momme isn't the only measure of quality. The grade and quality of the silk, weave and construction matter, too.
That's why our pillowcase doesn't stop at 25 momme.
More Silk, But Also Better Silk
Our 25 Momme Silk Pillowcase is made from 100% pure, Grade 6A long-strand mulberry silk in a charmeuse weave, with silk on both sides.
Grade 6A is the highest grade of mulberry silk, known for its long, uniform fibers. The charmeuse weave gives the pillowcase the smooth surface and soft sheen associated with luxury silk.
So our approach isn't simply to use more silk. It's to combine a substantial 25 momme weight with high-quality silk and thoughtful construction.
A Surgeon Compared the Alternatives
Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. James Shire didn't choose Fishers Finery without doing his research.
“All silk is not the same. I recommend Fishers Finery silk pillowcases to my patients.”
Dr. Shire researched and tried several different silk pillowcase brands before choosing Fishers Finery. He determined that our pillowcase offered the best combination of quality and value for his needs and has provided Fishers Finery silk pillowcases to his post-op patients since 2018. Read Dr. Shire's full recommendation.
Dr. James Shire explains why he recommends silk pillowcases for skin and hair, and why he chose Fishers Finery for his patients.
That matters to us because his decision came after comparing alternatives.
It's also remarkably similar to the philosophy behind the product itself: quality, construction and value all matter.
