What Is Momme? Silk Fabric Weight Explained
Momme is a traditional measure used to express silk fabric weight. In bedding, it is one useful way to compare how substantial two silk fabrics are.

Compare current sizes, colors and product specifications before ordering.

Why bedding shoppers see it often
