Why is silk ideal for summer?

Pourquoi la soie est-elle idéale en été ?

What makes silk your best ally in summer?

Summer is a difficult time of year for people suffering from sleep disorders or hot flushes. Heat keeps you awake and increases perspiration.

>With strong temperature variations from one day to the next, you need to alternate regularly between a light comforter, a sheet, or even nothing at all. What's more, while the evenings are warm, the mornings are often very cool. In these conditions, it's easy to catch a cold in the morning if you're not properly covered.

To top it all off, the menopause, hormones or certain illnesses can upset our body temperature.

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

Silk comforters to cover up without getting too hot

A quality handmade silk comforter is made by layering silk fabrics. This ancient manufacturing technique offers the best thermal properties, providing good ventilation while insulating against both heat and cold.

It also wicks away excess heat and perspiration. It therefore helps the body to regulate its temperature optimally.

Light and supple, the comforter hugs your body, providing incomparable protection and comfort.

Silk pillows for a good night's sleep

The wrong pillow can cause sleep disorders. It's important not to overheat your head, and to have a healthy pillow to help you fall asleep more quickly.

Silk sanitizes the pillow, limiting respiratory problems or itching.

On our website, you'll find pillows with a 100% silk filling. This natural fiber provides better thermal comfort and limits perspiration.

You'll also find pillows with bamboo carbon. Activated bamboo carbon absorbs unpleasant odors and pollutants.

These are trapped in the fibers of the bamboo carbon core at the heart of the pillow. These pillows therefore offer the dual action of these two ecological fibers.

Silk bed linen for optimum comfort

Using a cotton comforter cover doesn't prevent you from enjoying the thermal properties of a silk comforter. However, silk bed linen adds an extra layer of insulation. Silk sheets are better ventilated and evacuate excess heat and moisture than other materials.

What

'

s more, this natural fabric has tremendous absorption capacity. Despite perspiration, sheets always appear dry, unlike cotton sheets, which quickly become soaked. And what could be more unpleasant than sleeping in wet sheets?

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

They also offer a unique carnal softness and a sensation of luxurious voluptuousness.

By opting for silk bedding, you'll enhance your comfort and enjoy a healthier, less restless sleep to make the most of the summer season.

A light, comfortable summer

Enjoy optimum comfort even in the hottest weather. Silk envelops you in freshness and softness.
