Silk is The Thing
Soft, light and beautifully elegant silk has for centuries been a
symbol of ultimate luxury and sheer opulence. From Chinese Emperors
to European Kings, silk has always been displayed for the admiration
of others. Today, very little has changed. When someone mentions a
silk dress, suit or even silk bedding an image of luxury and wealth
springs to mind. This is because over the centuries even with all
the technological advances in fibres and synthetic yarns, silk is
still the fabric of choice for the ultimate luxury items.
Silk bedding is no exception to this rule. Being stronger and harder
wearing than cotton bedding, silk bedding can far outlast synthetic
rivals. Silk is naturally strong, and silk bedding made using long-fibre
mulberry silk is extremely strong. This is because the long fibres
found in mulberry silk have a cumulative effect on the finished
article, giving it both more flexibility and combined durability
than shorter fibre silk products. This strength is part of silk
beddings attractiveness when it comes to durability. When silk is
cleaned using a silk detergent, the silk fibres rejuvenate giving
the silk elasticity and strength that far outlasts cotton and
polyester, making silk bedding both a luxurious and wise long-term
investment.
Something quite new on the bedding scene in recent years is a silk
filled duvet. These duvets, as one would expect are filled with silk
rather than the more traditional fillings of down and polyester.
Sleeping under silk brings a whole new experience, one that Chinese
Emperors have allegedly enjoyed for generations. Silk, being a
natural fibre is healthier than sleeping under synthetic polyester.
Dust mites find silk an inhospitable environment to live in which
makes silk filled duvets very attractive to anyone who suffers from
hay fever and dust mite related allergies.
Silk duvets are unlike other duvets in that they help our bodies to
regulate their heat throughout the night. Long fibre mulberry silk
duvets are layered by hand placing the silk in an intricate grid
pattern. This allows some of the heat we generate throughout the
night to escape, and this in return keeps us cool. Because our
overall temperature is kept regulated throughout the night, we sleep
better. Simple and yet such a clever idea. Why we havent we been
using these duvets for years is a good question, but they are here
now and after using one going back to conventional duvet is simply
impossible.
