Health benefits of Silk Bedding

When it comes to creating a restful nights sleep, your choice of bedding can make all the difference.  Silk duvets and silk pillows are renowned for their exceptional softness and luxurious feel but there are also many health benefits that accompany silk bedding. Lets take a look at the health benefits of Silk Bedding

Hypoallergenic Properties: 
Silk bedding is naturally hypoallergenic as it is naturally repellent to bed bugs, dust mites, mildew and mould so it is perfect for anyone who suffers from dust mite allergies, mould allergy or allergic asthma. Silk bedding promotes a healthier sleep environment and a more result nights sleep

Silk bedding is also highly beneficial for those suffering from eczema, psoriasis or other sensitive skin conditions as it is non-irritating and contains naturally occurring amino acids.

Natural Fibers & Chemical Free: 
Mulberry silk is universally accepted to be the very best silk in the world.  This is because it can be used in its natural state – no chemicals, additives or any kind of treatment is required. Cotton, polyester, viscose, and other fabrics are commonly treated with various harsh chemicals to make them fire-resistant. When sleeping under cotton bedding, these chemicals rub against the skin and can be irritating for those with specific skin conditions or generally sensitive skin.  Our authentic 100% Mulberry Silk bedding is of such a high quality that it can be used in its natural state, it is not treated with any chemicals, bleaches or additives protecting the beneficial qualities of the silk for a soothing, comfortable sleep..

Anti-ageing – nourishes skin and hair
Silk bedding is not only gentle on your skin but also on your hair. It reduces friction, preventing hair breakage and the formation of sleep wrinkles. Silk bedding helps delay skin ageing, nourishes and protects the hair, due to the protein sericin and amino acids that occur naturally in mulberry silk. Silk proteins have been shown to increase hydration of the epidermal cells and reduce moisture loss. Waking up with smoother skin and tangle-free hair is a wonderful bonus!

Luxury & Comfort: 
Silk mulberry duvets and bedding are renowned for their exceptional softness and luxurious feel. Silk duvets are breathable, luxurious and their light and airy feeling help you sleep soundly. This type of bedding tends to wrap around your body, providing supreme comfort without feeling heavy. Natural fibres like silk tend to have more support than artificial fibres – this supportive property is only present in all-natural fibres. Silk’s unique, three-dimensional structure makes it resilient, which helps the fibres behave like tiny springs, encouraging a peaceful sleep.  It also promotes relaxation in the central nervous system and self-regulates temperature for snug sleeping

Temperature Regulation: 
Silk has the unique ability to regulate body temperature, keeping sleepers cool in the summer and warm in the winter resulting in a a comfortable night’s sleep all year round. This makes silk duvets, silk pillows and silk mattress toppers an excellent choice for anyone who suffers from night sweats or hot flushes. Silk is also great in cold climates, particularly for those who want to be warm and cosy at night without feeling weighed down by heavy blankets. Mulberry silk-filled duvets are warm having excellent thermal insulating properties. Sleeping under a silk-filled duvet is often compared to sleeping under a light fluffy cloud. This is attributed to the natural drape of silk, typically labelled the “hugging effect” which also helps to maintain the body’s heat in wintry conditions. 

Moisture-Wicking Abilities:
Unlike other materials, silk has the remarkable ability to wick away moisture, leaving the skin dry and comfortable throughout the night. This feature is particularly appealing for customers who struggle with night sweats or humidity-related discomfort.

Longevity and Durability:
Silk bedding is not only a luxurious, naturally hypoallergenic choice but also an investment that lasts. When well-maintained, silk bedding can remain in pristine condition for years, making it a cost-effective choice in the long term

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable:
Mulberry Silk is derived from silkworms raised in controlled environments, making it an eco-friendly choice. Silk production has a minimal impact on the environment compared to other textile manufacturing processes
