MULBERRY SILK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only use the finest quality A grade 100% long strand mulberry silk in our silk filled products. Our products are designed by us and made in the same traditional way they have been made for centuries in China. The silk threads can be stretched for up to a mile long. Due to its strength once the silk threads have been teased into place and sewn it will not move or bunch and therefore there will be no cold spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BODY TEMPERATURE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike cotton, which retains moisture, our silk bedding wicks moisture away from the skin which helps to regulate body temperature. Silk is a natural heat conductor and can adjust it to the ambient temperature of the room. As silk is breathable the excess heat breaths away to help keep the body at a constant temperature throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOOTHING PROPERTIES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries silk has been recognised for its soothing properties and its ability to relieve skin irritations and poor circulation. Silk has also been attributed with helping hair retain its moisture keeping it shiny and smooth and with keeping facial lines at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NATURALLY HYPOALLERGENIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silk is a naturally hypoallergenic fibre, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. Our 100% silk-filled duvets, pillows and toppers have been tested by and awarded the BRITISH ALLERGY FOUNDATION SEAL OF APPROVAL for the removal of house dustmites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
