Silk Down Comforter: Enjoy the Best of Both Bedding Luxuries
A silk down comforter is definitely the ultimate in comfort, luxury and quality when it comes to any type of bed comforter because of the quality material used in its design.
For centuries, silk has held high prestige for being the most luxurious fabric material, while fine white goose down is touted as the best down fill for any
type of down bedding.
When the two are combined, users benefit from the
finest of all sleep luxuries that is known globally as the
Not to be confused with a silk comforter, a silk down
comforter is designed with a silk cover and filled with
the best down fill available. A pure silk comforter
certainly has its benefits, such as quality, luxury,
durability and hypoallergenic properties.
But a white down comforter covered with silk offers a
different set of benefits that appeal to many consumers.
Here are some of the best benefits that you can enjoy
when choosing a silk down comforter as a bedding
accessory.
Quality fill
Most quality comforters are filled with high quality, white goose down fill that is hypercleaned to ensure an allergy free bedding product. Since some people have allergies to feathers, hypercleaning or putting fine down through a washing process removes any dust, dirt, and particles that are usually the offending allergens in down products.
True goose down has different organic properties than the mature feathers that often used in lower quality down bedding and is more hypoallergenic than duck feathers.
Luxurious cover
Silk is derived from the cocoon of the silkworm and is processed into fabric that is natural and chemical free. It is highly hypoallergenic and is durable, when cared for properly. The softness and temperature control for the body that this fabric offers, is a great alternative to synthetic blended fabric.
Some luxury bedding offers a combination silk and cotton blend for the comforter cover. Whether you choose a comforter with a silk or silk and cotton blend cover, you will be impressed with the excellent quality and comfortable feel to the fabric.
Easy to care for
Silk is easy to care for and most comforters only need to be dried in the sun a couple of times a year to maintain freshness. Silk tends to resist dust mites, mold and mildew and even bed bugs, so it naturally remains cleaner than other fabrics.
Of course, if you spill something on it, it will need to be dry cleaned, since washing with water can damage the fabric in many cases. Professional cleaning is best to protect your fine bedding. Remember that silk is not used in the design of a washable down comforter.
When shopping for a silk covered, down comforter, be sure to look for one that is constructed with a baffle box design, which keeps the fill from slipping around, helps to keep its loft and helps to evenly distribute warmth. For a good quality silk down comforter, look for one that has at least 750 fill power and has a cover that has a 900 thread count for the fabric cover.
