Types of Duvets

The 'all-seasons' type duvet is suitable for normally insulated homes in the Dutch climate. For warm homes, the 'summer duvet' type is sufficient. For very cold uninsulated homes, the 'all-seasons' and 'summer duvet' types can be attached together using a button-buttonhole system. Of course, we cannot say this with certainty because each individual has a different heat regulation. For more advice on this, please visit one of the Emperior Silk dealers.

High moisture-wicking capacity "According to experts, sleeping between silk is a true sensation."

Silk has a high moisture absorption capacity (30% of its own weight) and the ability to release this moisture very quickly. It also excellently captures temperature differences from the body. Add to this the smoothness and light weight of the duvet, and the sensation of sleeping between silk becomes a reality.

Silk duvet is Anti-allergic

The most common allergy at the moment is dust mite allergy. Dust mites thrive in a moist environment at a temperature of about 20°C. But because a silk duvet absorbs and removes moisture very well, there is no moist climate in the duvet, so the dust mite does not feel comfortable in a silk duvet. Furthermore, the "anti-static" property ensures that there is no dust development in the duvet, which is very pleasant for patients with respiratory conditions. Add to that the fact that silk is naturally hypoallergenic, and you have the ideal duvet for people with high allergy sensitivity.

Sensitive and dry skin

Silk is a natural product and contains amino acids. These help maintain the moisture level in the skin. Silk also contains a protein called 'sericin', which has been experimentally proven to provide smooth and supple skin. Furthermore, silk is very smooth, so the skin encounters less resistance during sleep. This has the advantage that fewer wrinkles develop during sleep, potentially slowing down the skin aging process.

Reduced perspiration A silk duvet ensures very good perspiration moisture removal during your sleep, as the silk fiber can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture. Only silk ensures that the moisture is quickly released to the outside air. People who perspire a lot at night will have less of a problem with this, resulting in waking up more refreshed.

Relief from joint problems Silk almost always provides an optimal sleeping climate due to its moisture-wicking and heat-regulating properties. Additionally, a silk duvet is very lightweight, preventing unnecessary strain on the joints during sleep. Of course, a silk duvet does not make the condition disappear, but with a silk duvet, you create the most optimal sleeping climate.
