Silk Bedding, the Healthier Back To Basics Alternative
Over the past several years there has been a drive for us all to
become healthier, eat better more natural food, exercise more and
even improve the way we rest. Consumers have been demanding more
natural goods, and we are witnessing a swing of back to nature in
many retail fields. It is with no surprise then that we are seeing
companies supplying healthier goods to meet with customers demands.
The world of bedding and linens has not been exempt from this trend
and one can now find many natural fibres replacing the more
conventional synthetic beddings. Coverings such as polyester and
other synthetically made linens are not as sympathetic to our bodies
needs as natural products are. Down, wool, cotton and silk are all
examples of natural products seeing resurgence in the bedding
market. As manufacturing techniques become increasingly
sophisticated the prices of production decreases, making once
prohibitively expensive bedding products more accessible to a mass
market.
Silk bedding has seen a huge increase in both trade and expansion of
products recently. The silk filled duvet market in particular has
grown tenfold from five years ago. Take a look at silksleep (dot)
com who have been trading for several years now exclusively selling
silk bedding products. Silk as a bedding product is both natural and
healthier than using a synthetic product. Silk bedding by nature is
inhospitable to bed bugs as the natural protein in silk repels the
bugs and mites, making for a healthier sleeping environment. Some
silk duvets are layered using mulberry silk, working enough silk
together in a grid pattern to be able to be stitched into a duvet.
This layering effect has a beneficial result as the silk allows our
body heat to regulate itself, which in turn gives a better more
relaxed nights sleep.
Silk linen and pillow slips have also seen remarkable growth in the
past few years. This is again because of sophisticated production
techniques but also because there is a renewed demand for natural
products. There is now a wide range of silk linen on the shelves in
many good retailers and online stores. Many sell mulberry silk
products which are far superior to other kinds of silk. Mulberry
silks have been specifically harvested for a targeted production
process. Be it for clothing, bedding or decorating, the durability
of mulberry silk over other silks is noticeable and should be
favoured if at all possible.
Healthier living is making an impact round the world and bringing
new and exciting products to our shores. Silk bedding is just one
example of a return to basics trend thankfully we now live in a
world that allows us to go back to basics in style! Next time you
are out and about, give natural a second look.
