Silk comforters are most often used as a duvet and are common throughout the world. Originaly from China, these silk comforters was once the privilege of only the wealthy that preferred silk for its superb insulating abilities. Today, silk has become the preferred choice for sleeping comfort in many Asian and European countries where silk is the comforter of choice for 3-season use.
These silk comforters are becoming popular due to a combination of factors, including their superior thermal properties, their lightweight and supple drape, and their natural hypoallergenic properties. China is both the world's biggest silk producer and silk comforter manufacturer. Nowadays, with manufacturing improvements and a range of designs making use of various grades of silk, the silk comforters are also affordable for the common people. In modern times, though a variety of artificial fibers are readily available, silk comforters are still practical and considered a kind of status symbol in Chinese communities. These silk comforters are easy to clean. As silk layers are damaged by contact with water, they only need to be dried under the sun twice a year to maintain their freshness. |
