How is silk comforter made?
Silk comforters are filled with layers of silk floss. Silk floss is obtained from silkworm cocoons that are softened in water, and manually hand stretched into thin layers, which are then placed on top of each other to form the comforter batting. Each comforter consists of roughly 3000 cocoons for each 1kg of weight. The outer shell of a silk comforter is made from 100% cotton fabric. We choose to use 100% cotton because cotton is another natural material that blends very well with the silk floss inside. In addition, it is very practical and economical for everyday use.

Care instruction for silk comforter?
Silk comforters are the easiest to maintain comforters on the market. With property usage, no washing or dry cleaning is required, mostly due to silk’s nature of being mildew and mold resistant. Proper usage implies using a duvet cover at all times to protect the silk comforter, so only cleaning of the duvet cover is necessary. However, if you really need to clean the silk comforter for whatever reason, then either spot cleaning by hand, or machine washing using the gentle cycle and mild soap is recommended. Either line dry or tumble dry at low temperature. Use an extra large capacity washer and dryer. Please note that frequent washing may damage the layering system of the silk comforter, so it is not recommended to wash the silk comforter unless it is absolutely necessary.
