Did you know?

The silk fibres inside your Mulberry silk duvet or comforter act as a repellent to dust mites and bugs since they are deprived of the moist environment they require for their survival. Our Mulberry Silk products are made from 100% natural fibres.

Safe and Natural

Our silk comforter / duvet / doona keeps you dry because the hygroscopic silk fibre absorbs one third its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. The absorbed moisture is evaporated into the environment or absorbed by outer clothing layers. Winter and Summer, Silk provides thermal balance, for luxurious warmth in winter or super-lightweight and breathable in summer and will keep you dry and cool. Its versatility makes it perfect for all year round.

No More Allergies

Hypo-allergenic and does not trigger feather-related allergic reactions, your silk duvet or comforter is a great source of relief for allergy and rheumatism sufferers across the globe.
