Why is silk ideal for summer?

Pourquoi la soie est-elle idéale en été ?

Why is silk your best ally in the summer?

Summer can be a difficult time for people who suffer from sleep disorders or hot flashes. The heat keeps you awake and increases sweating.

>With significant daily temperature fluctuations, you’ll need to switch regularly between a light duvet, a sheet, or even nothing at all. Plus, while evenings may be warm, mornings are often quite cool. Under these conditions, it’s easy to catch a chill in the morning if you aren’t properly covered.

To make matters worse, menopause, hormones, or certain medical conditions can disrupt our body temperature.

Fortunately, thanks to its thermal properties, silk solves—or at least alleviates—these problems.

Silk Duvets: Stay Warm Without Overheating

A high-quality, handcrafted silk duvet is made by layering silk fabrics. This traditional manufacturing technique offers the best thermal properties, as it allows for good airflow while insulating against both heat and cold.

It also wicks away excess heat and sweat, helping the body regulate its temperature optimally.

Lightweight and supple, the duvet conforms to your body and provides unparalleled protection and comfort.

Silk Pillows for a Good Night’s Sleep

A poor-quality pillow can cause sleep disturbances. It’s important to keep your head from getting too hot and to use a healthy pillow to fall asleep more quickly.

Silk keeps the pillow fresh, which helps prevent respiratory issues or itching.

On our website, you’ll find pillows filled with 100% silk. This natural fiber provides better thermal comfort and reduces sweating.

You’ll also find pillows made with bamboo charcoal. Activated bamboo charcoal absorbs unpleasant odors and pollutants.

These are trapped within the fibers of the bamboo charcoal core at the heart of the pillow. These pillows therefore offer the dual benefits of these two eco-friendly fibers.

Silk bedding for optimal comfort

Using a cotton duvet cover does not prevent you from enjoying the thermal properties of a silk duvet. However, silk bedding adds an extra layer of insulation. Silk sheets are more breathable and wick away excess heat and moisture better than other materials.

Furthermore, this natural fabric has tremendous absorbency. Despite sweating, the sheets always feel dry, unlike cotton sheets, which quickly become soaked. And what could be more unpleasant than sleeping in wet sheets?

For very hot nights when a single sheet is enough in the evening but too light for the cool of the morning, silk sheets—which insulate against both heat and cold—are the solution.

As an added bonus, they offer a uniquely sensuous softness and a feeling of luxurious indulgence.

By choosing silk bedding, you’ll enhance your comfort, and your sleep will be healthier and less restless, allowing you to make the most of the summer season.
