We wanted our first pajama set to be both luxurious and incredibly functional. This set is both.
Made with the World's best silk — 6A Grade, 100% Mulberry — the pajamas are unbelievably smooth and soft. A stellar 22-Momme stitch gives you the densest and heaviest feel possible.
Meanwhile, naturally cooler pajamas give you better sleep. Pure silk repels oils and keeps your skin clearer. That material and the stitch clean easily and last a while. The iconic Essential Cement color looks great, even when answering the door in your PJs.
Mulberry Silk
Made entirely with 100% Mulberry silk — the highest quality available for textiles. Globally sought after for its durability, consistency, and uniformity, each strand of this silk is notably longer and more refined than other varieties.
For you — the result is a silky smooth pair of pajamas that last forever.
6A Grade
The quality of raw silk is graded on an A, B, C scale (A is the finest). Further specificity is added with a number before the letter grade — 3A, 5A, or 6A (with 6 being the highest). So that’s what we used — 6A
For you — that means our pajamas are made from the best possible version of mulberry silk.
22 Momme
Thread count is for cotton. For silk, there's MOMME. Momme measures density, and is considered the gold standard for evaluating silk stitching. It's measured by weighing a 100 foot X 45 inch segment of the silk fabric. The weight of that fabric converts to its Momme. 22 is just short of the heaviest possible rating. But it is the perfect balance for silk pajamas.
For you — the result is a heavier, denser fabric.
Durable
When cared for properly, high-quality silk lasts for generations. We've partnered with top silk manufacturers in China, where the finest silk is made, to create a durable and washable fabric. This silk is machine washable on a gentle cycle, making it easy to clean while preserving its ultra-smooth texture—unlike other silk pajamas that require dry cleaning or hand washing.
Hypoallergenic
Our silk pajamas are entirely hypo-allergenic, all because of a naturally occurring protein in Mulberry silk (sericin). They are moisture, oil, and dirt resistant. They protect your skin from repeated exposure to elements that clog pores.
As with all silk, our pajama sets are also entirely frictionless. That reduces hair loss and skin irritation.
Sustainable and Chemical-Free
Our silk undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it's free of over 350 harmful substances, guaranteeing it's completely additive and chemical wash-free. Experience the unmistakable quality of our sustainable silk through its luxurious handfeel. When comparing our 100% mulberry silk to silk blends, standard silk, and chemically treated silk, you'll notice the difference in luster, smoothness, and skin feel.
Essential Cement
We made these pajamas in cement, our cool gray. That's because cement checked all the right boxes for these pajamas— beautiful enough to answer the door in, neutral enough to go with any bedroom, dark enough to hide blemishes.
The set comes with a full-sleeve shirt top and full-length trouser bottoms.
Meant to fit loose & comfortably.

While our silk is machine washable, shrinkage-resistant, and durable, it still requires some special care. For optimal results, machine wash in lukewarm water (30°C) on the gentle cycle using a mesh laundry bag and a gentle detergent formulated for silk bedding.
After washing, hang dry away from direct sunlight. If using a dryer, tumble dry on a cool setting and avoid prolonged drying. If ironing, do so when the bedding is slightly damp, using a silk setting and ironing on the inside.
