Why silk?

What makes silk bed linen better than traditional bedding made of cotton or synthetic fibers? In addition to its visual appeal and fascinating feel, silk also offers unparalleled ecological and medical benefits.
Silk is made of protein and consists of a specific chain of amino acids. Because silk is very similar to our skin, it has a stress-reducing effect and can even slow down the aging process. The silk fibers allow the skin to maintain its optimal natural moisture level while we sleep.
The advantages at a glance:
- Relief from airborne allergies and asthma
Silk is a naturally occurring fiber coated with sericin. It repels dust mites and other pests and helps with allergies and asthma. The twisting of extremely long individual silk threads makes silk fabrics hypoallergenic.
- Perfect climate
Silk has a moisture absorption capacity of 40%, down 8.5%, and microfiber 2.5%. Therefore, silk is better than any other material at absorbing moisture and—more importantly—transmitting it.
- Youthful, radiant complexion
Sleeping in silk bedding is like a fountain of youth! Silk—unlike cotton bedding—doesn't dry out your skin, but rather allows it to breathe without dehydrating it. You'll look fresher and smoother in the morning.
- Relief from menopausal symptoms
- Prevents skin irritations
