The Wonderful Properties of Silk

Silk is regarded as the best and the most luxurious natural fibre next to us. Silk is a naturally Hypoallergenic, breathable and thermal fibre that helps to balance body temperature, keeping you incredibly comfortable to sleep under our duvets, as they keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It is non-polluting to the environment.

Natural and Organic
Silk is natural and organic fibre. Our long mulberry

silk is farmed organically in a tranquil environment. Please see photos in About Us page.

Hypoallergenic
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust-mites making it the best alternative for a peaceful, allergy free sleep. Our silk is so gentle to skin that our silk filled duvets are suitable for eczema and asthma suffers and helps to relief itchiness.

Ultra Light and Soft
The high quality mulberry silk fibre feels luxuriously fine, light and soft. Our silk filled duvets are so light that they drape perfectly around the contours of your body, leaving no cold spot and ensuring you a good night's sleep. Our duvets make a perfect solution for people who suffer from the discomfort caused by the heaviness of their duvets, such as Parkinson's desease sufferers.

Breathable

Silk is a naturally breathable fibre, giving you extremely cosy and undisturbed sleep. Many people reported that they or their children no longer feel overheated or sweaty during the night but feel more restful and refreshed by using Snow Blossom's pure silk filled duvets. Our duvets are also ideal for women who suffer from 'hot flushes' caused by menopause.

Durable
Silk is a very strong and durable material although it's so fine and soft. Have you seen antique silk rugs still remain beautifully after a long time?

Benefit for Skin & Hair

Silk has been successfully and scientifically used in many skin care products to help reducing wrinkles and in hair products to help hair looking glossy. Do you know, long, long ago, that Chinese women used pieces of silk to comb and smooth their hair?

Thermal

Silk is naturally thermal fibre. Our silk filled duvet will keep you gently warm but not overheated. A pure silk scarf is recommended by some doctors to wear around your neck if you have neck pain. Why? This is because silk constantly keeps you warm, regulates your body temperature and is gentle to your skin.
