Silk sheets are not only good for your health but also fight against dust mites, fungus, and mold due to their natural hypoallergenic nature.
A cocoon composed of individual continuous fibers held together by sericin, a combination that has evolved naturally over thousands of years into a form that protects silkworms from various natural threats. Silk processing is a gentle process, and the processed silk retains these defensive properties. Therefore, silk is a natural deterrent against dust mites, molds, and fungi.
Silk contains essential amino acids that are beneficial to human skin, hair, and the nervous system. Sleeping on silk can delay skin wrinkles. In winter or summer, you can use silk sheets because they drape so well.

- In summer, silk sheets wick away moisture and keep you cool because silk has excellent breathability.
Silk breathes
A silk quilt usually contains a hundred layers of silk, making it very breathable and comfortable. Silk absorbs moisture from the human body, making people feel cool and comfortable. For users with night sweats or hot flashes, silk is the perfect bedding option.
On the other hand, silk also plays a big role in winter. Perhaps, you will doubt it because of its lightweight. However, on the other hand, because of the silk's lightweight, you'll feel like you're sleeping in the clouds inside. Even if it's cold outside, a silk quilt will keep you warm. Silk has a natural ability to sag, gently stroking and hugging the body when it's cold, retaining heat. Some people call this ability the "hug effect."
Silk sheets have a long life
High-quality silk for long life. In fact, silk sheets can easily last 20 years as long as they are not washed frequently and without some harsh detergent on them. In general, silk naturally repels troublesome things like dirt, odors, and dust mites, so you don't need to wash it as often. In fact, many silk experts do not recommend washing silk sheets unless absolutely necessary. Also, they recommend using a duvet for silk sheets. And the quilt should be cleaned frequently.
Breathability
Silk is highly absorbent. High-quality silk can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. What's more, silk absorbs sweat while allowing the skin to breathe. Breathability is a unique feature of premium silk sheets.
Material resistance
Silk fibers are very strong. The filaments of silk thread are very resistant to mechanical forces. Silk sheets are very durable and last longer than traditional cotton sheet sets. Silk sheets not only provide a noble feeling but also ensure stress-free sleep.
