Silk Filled Duvet

Now personally, I don't think you can find anything nicer to sleep in than a nice cosy shell.  But you poor humans don't have that option do you?  How about a nice silk filled duvet?  There are many health benefits and it cuts down on chemical use, something I always approve of!  Find out more:

It is practically impossible to say precisely when the manufacturing of silk began, although there is evidence of silk manufacturing or ‘sericulture’ as it is termed, occurring 7000 years ago. The Chinese fervently guarded the techniques of silk production for millenia. It was a capital offence to undertake to smuggle silk or reveal the secrets and techniques of its manufacture beyond the borders of China. It was probably inevitable that the secrets and techniques of silk production would be desseminated around the globe eventually and now the splendid luxuries afforded by silk can certainly be enjoyed by all. The remarkable organic properties of silk coupled with modern day innovative silk duvet production processes creates a duvet that truly will change night time sleep. In the course of the development process layers of long fibre mulberry silk floss will be gently placed one on top of the other to create the strong but soft and sensuous filling. This delicate technique is repeated until finally the desired weight is reached. A silk filled duvet is the epitome of comfort at night. The structure of long-strand silk fibres mean a silk duvet is as snug but noticeably less heavy than standard duvets. A silk duvet lightly drops over your body rather than "imprisoning" you with the bulk of a ordinary duvet. As soon as people have felt the gentleness and complete luxury of a silk duvet it's very difficult to contemplate using anything else.




Silk is actually a natural protein and for this reason is less hospitable to dustmites which unfortunately lead to allergic reactions like eczema, asthma or rhinitis. As many as 20, 000 dustmites have been found in only one mattress. Making the bed with silk bedding and silk filled duvets significantly decreases the number of dust mites in the bedroom, compared with down, feather and polyester . Dust mite droppings contain enzymes which, rather unpleasantly, the dust mites have used to digest skin particles. These enzymes, possibly through inhalation or skin contact may trigger or worsen asthma and other related allergies. Silk posseses an amazing capacity to enable your skin to reabsorb moisture through the naturally occurring proteins within silk, though without making you feel sticky or unpleasantly wet. Absorbing moisture that has been lost in the day will aid in re-energizing your skin throughout the night. This is very valuable to people with dry skin and ailments such as post-chemotherapy sensitivity, psoriasis, shingles, eczema and even sunburn.



Silk can markedly enhance the quality and comfort of sleeping. As well as preventing asthma triggered by dust mites, it is furthermore advantageous to those troubled with osteo-athritic conditions. Silk duvets being soft and light-weight create less pressure this, particularly when coupled along with tightly woven silk sheets, facilitates easier movement and less resistance. Regular duvets and quilts do not drape over our bodies but tend to form a heavy barrier with pressure points that might cause pain and irritation to vulnerable joints. Silk filled duvets deliver relief for lots of skin conditions because they drape over your body getting rid of single spots of tension that might otherwise irritate existing skin problems. The many benefits don't just stop there. Silk, in contrast to cotton that retains moisture underneath bedsheets causing clamminess, wicks excessive moisture away from the skin. This is advantageous to those people experiencing excessive sweating, night sweats, the symptoms of menopause and sometimes light incontinence, delivering a better night’s sleep.



Silk production, the silk duvet manufacturing process and continued care is free of chemicals. The lack of chemcials, when partnered with silk’s natural bacteria repelling attributes and dust-mite resistance makes the silk filled duvet the perfect choice for those who care about their wellbeing and the overall health of the environment. Production starts with mulberry trees - the food source of the silk moth larvae. This is a trouble free crop to grow, hardly ever requiring the use of pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Chemical usage is minimal, except in cases where there is unnecessary use of inorganic dyes, and this definitely isn't the situation with silk filled duvets. Silk manufacture and processing has a fairly light impact on the natural environment. Silk filled duvets are naturally anti-bacterial and don't need cleaning in the same way as conventional duvets. (You certainly won't miss trying to stuff bulky duvets into a washing machine drum!) Silk duvets just need ’sun curing’ in other words hang them on the line out to air twice a year, a fine day in Springtime or a sunny Autumnal afternoon. Now that is eco-cleaning at its best!
