A Sleep Revelation Unless you’ve spent a night in a royal Japanese palace, you’ve probably never experienced the decadent luxury of a pure silk duvet. ...Which means that you’ve probably never felt for yourself how incredibly efficient silk is as a temperature regulator – perfectly warm ‘n snug in winter, and light ‘n airy in summer. When the ancient Orientals struck on this secret thousands of years ago, special mulberry fields were planted along the banks of Lake Taihu to feed the silkworms that spin the choicest silk of all. The Real Deal Today The Mulberry Silk Company of Zhenze, Lake Taihu, still source their succulent mulberry leaves from the very same fields, and go to great efforts to uphold the same exacting standards and ancient traditions established by the royal courts in days of old. Lately a number of silk duvet products have appeared on world markets that fall rather short of these standards, and are definitely not made with authentic Mulberry Silk – recognized as the highest grade of silk in the world. The Cleaner, Healthy Alternative These days silk duvets have become all the rage for other reasons as well. Silk’s amazing hypo–allergenic and hygroscopic qualities have been a great source of relief for allergy and rheumatism sufferers across the globe. Because silk naturally draws moisture away from the body at night, and releases it into the air, the dust mites that typically trigger feather–related allergic reactions are deprived of the moist environment they require for their survival. In addition, silk has been shown to possess 18 types of naturally occurring compounds that are believed to promote a host of positive health care functions, such as soothing the nerves, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin. The Bottom Line All the health benefits in the world won’t replace the fact that a Mulberry Silk duvet is also the most svelte, supple, wisp of a sleeping partner you’ll ever hope to find (and hold onto). Low–Maintenance And because silk duvets are so lightweight, supple and compact, they are easy to store, move or take out for a spring airing (the only maintenance they’ll ever require over a guaranteed 10 year lifespan). If you do happen to topple your breakfast tray onto it, however, a quick dry clean will restore it to mint condition.
