Silk is allergy-friendly

Ideal for allergy sufferers

Silk has for many years been associated with grace and splendor – but the material is actually also an excellent choice for anyone struggling with allergy or sensitive skin.

People who suffer from severe allergy can often experience improvement by sleeping in silk bedding. This is mainly because house dust mites are the most common cause of allergy, and the natural fibres of silk naturally counteract them. Silk creates an environment where house dust mites find it hard to thrive. This is linked to the protein sericin, which is found in the silk fibres and effectively repels dust mites.

Sericin also makes silk resistant to mould, fungi, and bacteria, which means that silk fabric is naturally allergy-friendly. But the benefits do not end there: Silk provides a clean, soft, and comfortable sleeping environment that everyone can enjoy – whether or not they suffer from allergy. Therefore, bedding made of genuine silk is a splendid and gentle choice for every skin type.
