In the West, silk is mainly used for high-quality clothing. In China, silk has traditionally been used much more broadly: for home textiles, in cosmetics, even in medicine. But silk also offers special advantages for duvets and bed linen, such as:
Temperature compensation
Silk has an insulating effect. It cools in summer and warms in winter.
Moisture balancing
Silk can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. Silk duvets are particularly beneficial for someone who sweats easily.
Skin tolerance
Silk is composed of similar proteins to human skin. So it looks very pleasant even on the most sensitive skin. The smooth structure is particle-repellent and does not absorb allergy-causing dust. For this reason, silk duvets are particularly recommended for people with allergy problems.
suppleness
Silk feels particularly soft and supple and adapts to every contour of the body. It is as light and cozy as you could hope for from an ideal blanket.
