Cocoon Pure Silk Duvets
A silk duvet from Cocoon Pure Silk Duvets can transform your bed rest by regulating the temperature at which you sleep.
Thermostatic Properties
Silk can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture before it feels damp.
As the temperature in your bed rises, you perspire more.
Due to your body heat perspiration becomes water vapor in the air under your doona. The silk fill in a Cocoon Pure Silk Duvet absorbs the water vapor.
It then evaporates from the silk doona as a result of your body heat. Evaporation causes cooling. So in effect the silk acts as a thermostat.
The more you heat up, the more the silk will provide cooling, and vice versa.
While it is warm when required you are much less likely to overheat under a suitably chosen weight of silk filled doona creating the 'warm in winter, cool in summer effect for which it is renowned throughout Asia.
You get a good sleep at an even temperature all night long.
Hypoallergenic
Silk's natural hypoallergenic qualities have come to be increasingly appreciated across the modern world. Silk bedding is a great blessing to all allergy sufferers, who may be prone to Asthma, blocked sinuses, or other hay fever like symptoms. House Mites and Dust Mites are a very frequent cause of allergic reaction in the home. One of their favorite locations is bedding. Their food source there is the dead skin that we naturally shed. Many people are allergic to the mites faeces. It has been observed that unlike many bedding materials (particularly Down, Feathers and Wool), these mites will not, or perhaps cannot, live in silk. So, provided the rest of the bedding is washed regularly to keep it "mite-free", this source of allergy can be controlled.
100% Natural fiber
Cocoon Pure Silk Duvets are manufactured from 100% pure new long fiber Mulberry Silk of the highest quality.
100% pure new cottons are use in manufacture of the outer shell case.
There are no man made fibers, scrap silk, or additives used to "top up" the core fill.
No box stitching needed
A Silk Worms thread can be over a mile long. Many layers of Long Silk floss are pulled out by hand to the dimensions of the doona until the specified weight is reached. Each stretched mat looks like gossamer before it is laid on its fellows. These layers of raw silk being so light and fine yet strong, naturally mesh into one mass and cannot move against each other. There is no possibility of the silk migrating, or bunching up, within the doona.
"Box Stitching" or "Quilt Sewing" is not necessary.
With the correct care the silk fill of the doona remains evenly distributed throughout its life.
More importantly, if the doona were "quilted", it would lose its even distribution of warmth, as the sewn lines would diminish insulation and become "cold lines" across the quilt.
Natural Drape of Silk
We have all experienced the smooth feel of silk and have appreciated it's natural fall and drape qualities.
Now imadgine these qualities in a doona. The way it falls and drapes about your body in bed enhances it's ability to keep you warm.
A Cocoon Pure Silk Duvet gives you the feeling of quality that only pure silk fill can provide.
Additional Health Benefits
Silk and our skin have the same types of Amino Acids. Long ago the Chinese observed that silk is beneficial to our skin; that is to say, they believe the aging of the face (wrinkles) is delayed. It is thought that these Amino Acids are responsible.
They also seem to activate the human skin cells to:
Prevent vascular sclerosis.
Relieve itchy skin.
Assist in preventing arthritis.
Reference articles in western medical journals can be found across the web documenting studies and research extolling the virtues of natural silk in the aid of acute dermatological conditions and other more serious conditions such as asthma.
