King Size Silk Sheets

Experience Unparalleled Luxury with King Size Silk Sheets

What Makes Our King Size Silk Sheets Special?

Silk bedding represents the pinnacle of luxury in the bedroom, transforming ordinary sleep into an extraordinary sensory experience. The moment you slide between Sanctuary Soft silk sheets, you’ll feel the difference—a cool, weightless embrace that cradles your body in natural comfort.

Our premium king size silk sheets offer an unmatched combination of silky smoothness, exceptional breathability, and a subtle, natural sheen that elevates any bedroom aesthetic. Unlike synthetic materials, silk naturally regulates temperature within 2-3 degrees of your body temperature, creating the perfect microclimate for restful sleep regardless of season.

The benefits extend far beyond comfort:
– Natural temperature regulation keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter
– Contains 18 amino acids that nourish skin while you sleep
– Hypoallergenic properties resist dust mites, mold, and other common allergens
– Significantly reduces friction on hair and skin, preventing sleep lines and bedhead
– Exceptional durability when properly cared for, outlasting cotton sheets by years

These aren’t just sheets—they’re an investment in your sleep quality and overall wellness.

Understanding Silk Quality: The Mulberry Difference

Not all silk is created equal, and at Sanctuary Soft, we exclusively use 100% Mulberry silk for our premium bedding. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, producing exceptionally long, uniform fibers that create smoother, more durable fabric with minimal processing.

Genuine Mulberry silk has a distinctive feel—incredibly smooth with a subtle sheen rather than an artificial shine. When rubbed between fingers, it produces a soft rustling sound some describe as the “whisper of silk.” Our processing methods preserve these natural qualities while enhancing the fabric’s strength and longevity.

All our silk products carry OEKO-TEX certification, guaranteeing they’re free from harmful substances and safe for prolonged skin contact—essential for bedding you’ll spend a third of your life touching.

Unlike rougher Tussah silk (often called “wild silk”), Mulberry silk offers consistent quality and a finer texture. Each batch undergoes burn testing, microscopic fiber examination, and weight verification to ensure authenticity and quality before becoming part of our collection.

Momme Weight Explained: Finding Your Perfect Balance

When shopping for silk sheets, understanding momme weight—the standard measurement of silk density—is essential for making an informed choice. Think of momme as similar to thread count, but specifically designed to measure silk’s quality and durability.

For luxury bedding, the ideal range falls between 19-25 momme, with different weights offering unique benefits:

Our most popular king size sheets feature 22 momme weight, providing the perfect balance between luxurious drape and exceptional durability for everyday use.

Finding the Perfect Fit: King Size Dimensions Guide

Standard king size silk sheets are designed to fit mattresses measuring 76 inches × 80 inches (193 cm × 203 cm), but the specific components have different dimensions:

Fitted sheets include extra fabric to accommodate mattress depth, with our deep-pocket designs fitting mattresses up to 16 inches thick—perfect for accommodating luxury mattress toppers or pillow-top mattresses.

When measuring for king size sheets, always consider your mattress height, especially if you use a mattress topper. For optimal fit, our fitted sheets feature reinforced elastic corners that secure firmly without slipping, even with movement throughout the night.

What’s Included in Our King Size Silk Bedding Set

Our complete king size silk sheet sets include:

• 1 fitted sheet (78″ × 80″ × 16″ pocket depth)
• 1 flat sheet (108″ × 102″)
• 2 king pillowcases (20″ × 36″)

Each component can also be purchased individually, allowing you to mix and match or replace single items as needed. For those seeking to create a complete silk sanctuary, matching silk pillowcases, duvet covers, and decorative shams are available to complement your sheets.

Color Options and Design Elements

Sanctuary Soft offers king size silk sheets in a carefully curated palette of colors designed to complement any bedroom décor. Our selection ranges from timeless neutrals like Ivory, Silver Gray, and Champagne to rich jewel tones like Sapphire Blue and Burgundy.

All dyes used are eco-friendly and carefully tested for colorfastness, ensuring your sheets maintain their beautiful hue wash after wash. Each sheet features elegant details like double-folded hems with subtle stitch work and envelope closures on pillowcases to keep pillows neatly contained.

Unlike synthetic fabrics, our silk takes dyes differently, creating depth and dimension that changes subtly in different lighting—one of the many characteristics that makes natural silk so visually luxurious.

Caring for Your Silk Sheets: Maintenance Tips

Proper care extends the life of your silk sheets, keeping them luminous and soft for years:

• Wash in cold water (below 86°F/30°C) using pH-neutral detergents specifically formulated for silk
• Select the gentle or delicate cycle on your washing machine, or hand wash for maximum longevity
• Air dry away from direct sunlight—UV rays break down silk’s protein fibers over time
• Iron on the lowest silk setting while slightly damp if desired, but never use steam
• Store in cool, dry places in breathable cotton bags rather than plastic containers

Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets, as these contain chemicals that damage silk fibers. With proper care, your silk sheets will maintain their luxurious feel far longer than cotton alternatives.

Health and Wellness Benefits of Sleeping on Silk

The wellness benefits of silk bedding extend far beyond comfort:

Silk contains sericin, a natural protein that helps skin retain moisture while you sleep. This same protein makes silk naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew—ideal for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.

The smooth surface significantly reduces friction on skin and hair, minimizing sleep creases and bedhead. Many dermatologists recommend silk pillowcases for patients concerned about facial wrinkles and hair breakage.

Perhaps most importantly, silk’s exceptional temperature regulation properties help maintain optimal sleep temperatures, reducing night sweats and promoting deeper, more restorative sleep patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions About King Size Silk Sheets

Are silk sheets slippery to sleep on?
While silk has a smooth surface, quality silk sheets provide just enough texture to prevent slipping. The 22-25 momme weights we offer stay in place comfortably throughout the night.

How often should silk sheets be washed?
For optimal care, we recommend washing every 10-14 days, which balances hygiene with minimizing wear from washing.

Will cooling silk sheets keep me cool in summer?
Yes! Silk naturally wicks moisture away from the body and regulates temperature, making it excellent for hot sleepers year-round.

How do silk sheets compare to satin?
Silk is a natural fiber, while satin is a weave that can be made from various materials, often polyester. Natural silk offers superior breathability, temperature regulation, and skin benefits that synthetic satin cannot match.

Do silk sheets wrinkle easily?
Pure silk will develop a natural, elegant drape with some light creasing—part of its authentic character. For a smoother look, iron on low heat while slightly damp.

Silk vs. Other Premium Bedding Materials

While many luxury bedding options exist, 100% silk sheets offer unique advantages:

• Compared to Egyptian cotton: Silk is smoother, naturally temperature-regulating, and more beneficial for skin and hair
• Compared to linen: Silk offers year-round comfort without linen’s initial roughness or significant wrinkling
• Compared to bamboo: While both are temperature-regulating, silk provides superior moisture-wicking and natural proteins beneficial to skin

For those seeking the ultimate sleep experience, silk remains unmatched in its combination of luxury feel and wellness benefits.

Transform your bedroom into a complete sleep sanctuary by pairing your king size silk sheets with other premium offerings:
