Bed linen is an item that should not be neglected because it protects your bedding and helps you sleep better. Aesthetic and infinitely soft, silk bed linen also brings a touch of voluptuousness to your bedroom.
Why choose silk bed linen?
1. Silk synonymous with luxury and refinement
Silk making remained a closely guarded secret for a long time. This noble and 100% natural material remains one of the most precious fabrics today. Its shine brings a touch of elegance to a bedroom and its silky touch envelops you in a cocoon of softness.
2. The benefits of silk
Silk is a very resistant fiber whose strength is often compared to that of steel (for the same diameter). Silk bed linen is therefore durable if it is well maintained. Silk also has the advantage of being thermoregulatory (cool in summer and warm in winter), breathable (it absorbs moisture), hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-mite. Thus, it ensures optimal comfort for a good night's sleep. Silk also has beneficial effects on your skin and hair. It limits sleep wrinkles, maintains skin hydration and absorbs less care. Your hair will be less brittle and will no longer get tangled while you sleep.
3. Simple bed linencare
Silk bed linen can be machine washed at 30°C. It also irons out very easily.
How to choose your silk bed linen?
A complete set of bed linen is made up of a fitted sheet, a duvet, one or 2 pillowcases and a flat sheet depending on everyone's habits and desires.
How to choose your fitted sheet?
To know which silk fitted sheet to buy, refer to the size of your mattress. A sheet that is too small could cause the mattress to fold and come off while you sleep. And conversely, a sheet that is too large will cause wrinkles to appear, making it uncomfortable to go to bed. Here are the different sizes of fitted sheets available on our site with the corresponding mattress dimensions:
- 80 x 200 cm: single bed 80 cm
- 90 x 190 cm: single bed 90 cm
- 90 x 200 cm: single bed 90 cm
- 140 x 190 cm: standard double bed 140 cm
- 140 x 200 cm: standard double bed 140 cm
- 160 x 200 cm: Queen Size bed 160 cm
- 180 x 200 cm: King Size bed 180 cm
- 200 x 200 cm: Super King Size bed 200 cm
To choose the right fitted sheet, it is also essential to know the thickness of your mattress to define the size of the cup of your sheet. In fact, the cap is used to hold the fitted sheet on the mattress. If it is too small, the sheet will not stay in place. At Maison de la Soie, our fitted sheets have large 30 cm high pockets which are suitable for all mattresses.
How to choose your cover duvet ?
The choice of the silk duvet cover is done according to its duvet, but also his mattress. Indeed, first of all choose your duvet depending on the size of your bed and the desired drape (see our guide to duvets). Once the duvet found, you can cover it with a protective cover duvet to the same dimensions. At Maison de la Soie, we have covers for all sizes of duvets :
- 140 x 200 cm
- 200 x 200 cm
- 240 x 220 cm
- 260 x 240 cm
- 280 x 240 cm
Concerning the finishes, we chose a bottle or chimney opening because the flap makes it easier to install the duvet and allows you to nicely border the bed. Please note, most competitors offer button or zipper finishes to save fabric.
How to choose your pillowcase
At Maison de la Soie, we have 3 sizes of pillowcases that suit all pillows:
- 40 x 60 cm for 40 x 60 cm pillows
- 50 x 75 cm for the 50 x 70 cm and 50 x 75 cm pillows
- 65 x 65 cm for the 60 x 60 cm and 65 x 65 cm pillows
About the closing method, silk pillowcases 19 mommes have a discreet zip and pillowcases in 22 and 25 mommes have a wallet opening that closes with a flap inside the case. Finally, for finishes, you will find pillowcases with or without ruffles. The latter, also called bag pillowcases, are refined and modern while the pillowcases with ruffles are in a more chic style and elegantly dress the bed.
How to choose your flat sheet?
Do not confuse flat sheet and fitted sheet. We sleep on the fitted sheet which attaches to the mattress and we sleep under the flat sheet which covers us like a blanket. Having long been an integral part of traditional bedding, the flat sheet is today used less by individuals. In hotels, on the other hand, it is an essential element for a comfortable and neat bed. The flat sheet has several advantages:
- it is hygienic. It reinforces the cover of duvet and protects your bedding
- in summer, if your duvet keeps you too hot, the flat sheet will cover you perfectly
- in winter, under your duvet, it allows better heat preservation
- aesthetically, the flat sheet brings a touch of elegance to your bedroom To choose your flat sheet, we advise you to take it in a dimension larger than that of your bed so that it covers you during your sleep even if you move.
At Maison de la Soie, You will find our silk flat sheet in the following dimensions:
- 180 x 275 cm, recommended for single beds 90x190 cm and double beds 120x190cm
- 240 x 300 cm, perfect for a standard double bed 140x190cm
- 270 x 300 cm, ideal for Queen Size 160x200cm, King Size 180x200cm and Super King Size 200x200cm beds
What quality of silk bed linen should you choose?

- Prestige Collection 19 mommes,
- Excellence 22 Collection mommes,

The momme is the unit of measurement which defines the density of silk contained in the fabric and thus informs us of its quality. Plus the number of mommes is important, the more beautiful, thicker and durable the bed linen will be. Our bed linen 19 mommes has the advantage of being complete. This way, you can easily put together your own silk bed set. The 22nd mommes is slightly less fleshed out and the 25 mommes is currently only available for silk pillowcases.
