Silk duvets have many benefits for all sorts of people, especially allergy, eczema and asthma sufferers.

Dust mites are microscopic creatures which feed on dead skin cells, excreting digestive enzymes which are the major irritant for asthma, eczema and allergy sufferers. Incredibly, dust mites cannot live in silk duvet fillings whereas cotton and down covers are a breeding ground for them. This means that you can discover the joys of a healthy and sound, allergy free sleep when you discover silk duvets and other silk bedding.

Silk Duvets are environmentally friendly and all natural…

Before the duvet reaches your bed, the production processes involved in making silk use no harsh chemicals, just a mild soap, steam, water and mulberry leaves. Once your duvet is in use, there is no need for detergents, chemicals or lengthy and arduous washing procedures. In fact, washing silk duvets with harsh chemicals should be avoided as it hardens the silk.

… hygienic and hassle-free!

Luckily, silk duvets have natural antibacterial properties and are thus incredibly hygienic. All these duvets require is to be hung outside in the shade for a few hours to purify and air out the silk floss – it is absolutely hygienic and hassle free! Remember: down, feather and polyester duvets collect dirt, bacteria and dust inside them and must be laundered frequently, especially if users suffer from allergies.

Another benefit of silk duvets is their breathability, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The tog you need will depend on your preferred sleeping temperature and the general climate and should keep you comfortable, healthy and happy all year round!
