Structure of the filling |
Orignee® silk duvets are more evenly filled than inferior silk duvets and are more voluminous. This means no cold zones can arise. Every time you move you are optimally covered by the blanket, which keeps you warm in winter and feels pleasantly cool in hot weather. |
Because the filling is not so uniform, cold zones can arise. More filling is required for the same heating result. |
The structure of the ceiling is uneven. That's why the blanket is quilted and is not as cuddly. |

Relation
Only high-quality materials such as cotton, lyocell or silk, which are also sustainable and environmentally friendly, are used to cover the Orignee® silk duvets.
Quilting
Because of the regular structure of the mulberry silk, it would actually not be necessary to topstitch the blanket. The simple quilting is visually attractive and also keeps the filling fluffy.
opening
Through the 70cm long opening with a zipper on the side you can look at and touch the beautiful silk fiber filling.
Natural air conditioning
Conventional quilt
The traditional quilt, such as a down comforter or a cashmere blanket, is filled with short natural fibers or feathers and quilted. The duvet does not adapt optimally to the body and cold zones often arise.
Orignee® silk duvet
The silk duvet from Orignee® hugs the body closely. No cold zones can arise. Every time you move you are optimally covered by the blanket, which keeps you warm in winter and feels pleasantly cool in hot weather.
