In addition to the amazing lightness and softness of the silk duvet, it also contains a number of other good properties that help to give you the best sleep experience. You can read about these properties below.
Although silk duvets are thinner than regular duvets, they can retain the same amount of heat. The reason for this is the very fine and dense Mulberry silk fibres. The fibres give silk its temperature-regulating properties, which means that the silk duvet warms you when temperatures are cold and cools you when temperatures are warmer. At the same time, silk also has a good ability to absorb moisture and conduct it away, which is a good property if you tend to sweat at night.
Among many allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin, silk has become a preferred choice. This is because the natural fibers of silk are anti-allergenic and house dust mites and the like cannot live in silk. The reason for this is due to the binding substance in the silk fibers, which is called Sericin.
Sericin is antibacterial and resistant to mold, fungi and bacteria. This is the reason why silk fabric is naturally hypoallergenic. Read more about this here: Sericin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Finally, silk duvets are also self-cleaning, as body sweat is not bound to the silk fibers but is instead led away. However, we recommend that silk duvets are aired out a few times a year. This is done to give your silk duvet the opportunity to “breathe”. You can read more about caring for silk here
