10 best silk bedding for a hint of luxury, tested by an interiors editor

Between 12-19 momme is considered good quality, while 22 or above is super high-end - (Ali Howard/The Independent)

Silk bedding has a reputation for luxury, but the best silk bedding offers far more than just a beautiful sheen. The smooth texture is naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature, so it feels cool in summer and warm when the nights turn colder.

It’s also incredibly gentle on skin and hair, thanks to its low friction and hypoallergenic qualities – a practical upgrade as much as an aesthetic one. Plus, investing in silk sheets or a duvet cover can subtly change how a bedroom feels, lending a sense of calm and refinement.
