WHY SILK?
Silk has many advantages including the following:
 
1. Silk is 100% Natural and Hypoallergenic. Silk contains a naturally occurring protein called sericin and 18 other amino acids - similar to those in human skin - which make silk mold and mildew resistant.
 
2. Silk wickens moisture away from the body.
 
3. Silk regulates body temperature keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
 
4. Silk is naturally a fire retardant.

 
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
When buying silk, the following should be considered:
 
1. Silk Weight. The weight of the silk determines its strength, durability and performance. For luxury quality bedding, a minimum of 16 momme weight is recommended.
 
2. Silk Strands. For the best quality, look for products made from long strand silk. This produces a stronger and more durable product.
 
3. Silk Strength. Silk that is not fresh will become brittle, resulting in a weaker product. Season of harvest also plays a role as spring is better than fall.
