This summer weight silk duvet is an excellent alternative to synthetic fibres or when you are concerned that a down duvet may sleep too warm. Many of our clients often use a summer weight silk duvet during the warmer months and a light or regular weight (depending on the quality of down chosen) down duvet during the winter. The pure silk cover is very smooth and very soft. The ultimate in silk duvet luxury!

Tussah silk is wild silk which is farmed outside, from Antheraea moths. They feed on oak trees. The silk is heavier, tougher and more resilient than cultivated silk. The trade off is that Tussah silk is not quite as luxurious nor as soft or pure as cultivated (Mulberry) silk.

Carefully tended Bombyx caterpillars are raised inside, and fed mulberry leaves. The silk is finer and softer. The compromise is that Mulberry is slightly less durable than Tussah.
