Benefits of Silk

Breathable & Even Regulation of Heat

Silk, a natural product, is breathable and so enables your body to maintain a more stable temperature while you sleep. The manufacturing process of a silk quilt/duvet entails the layering of long fibre mulberry silk floss one on top of another. This process is repeated until the desired weight is achieved. Layering the silk creates an intricate grid layout, which is key to the heat regulating function of the quilt/duvet. Because the silk floss has been layered and not stuffed into the quilt/duvet covering, the silk is able to let some heat escape through the grid layout. A more pleasant and comfortable sleep is achieved because our body temperature is kept at a more constant temperature throughout the night.

Because silk quilt/duvet allow for far better heat regulation than down or polyester quilt/duvet there is very little sweat produced throughout the night. Sweat is a major contributor to bacteria in the bedroom. Less sweat means less bacteria and less cleaning.

Silk filled quilt/duvet simply require less cleaning than conventional quilt/duvet. In fact all the cleaning they really need is to be aired (not under direct sunlight) every few month on the line or balcony. This rejuvenates the silk inside the quilt/duvet and dries out any moisture that many be retained in the silk. All silk filled quilt/duvet can be spot cleaned but for full cleaning they need to be professionally cleaned. This is because the silk inside the quilt/duvet is susceptible to high heat that can be generated in washing machines and tumble dryers.

Hypoallergenic

Silk has fantastic and amazing hypoallergenic properties . Silk is a natural protein and is therefore far less hospitable to dust mites which can trigger allergic reactions such as eczema, rhinitis and asthma. The use of silk bedding and silk filled duvets greatly reduces the amount of dust mites in the bedroom and is greatly recommended for young children. It is usual for a single down mattress to bred up to 20,000 dust mites.

Luxurious & Comfort

 

The nature of long-strand silk fibres mean a silk quilt/duvet is just as warm but much lighter than traditional quilt/duvets, and drapes over your body instead of "suffocating" you with the bulk of a traditional quilt/duvet. Silk contains natural protein and 18 essential amino acids, known to reduce the signs of aging. It also contains natural cellular albumen which speeds up the metabolism of skin cells, thus delaying the aging process. Silk from Mulberry Silkworms does not conduct static electricity so the use of silk pillow cases reduces hair breakage and thinning of hair, whilst helping the hair to maintain proper moisture balance. Once you have experienced the smoothness, softness and pure luxury of a silk duvet, it is extremely difficult to use anything else. So come on and invest in something that is healthy and promotes a pleasant sleep!
