Over the past several years therehas been a drive for us all to become healthier, eat better more natural food,exercise more and even improve the way we rest. Consumers have been demandingmore natural goods, and we are witnessing a swing of back to nature in manyretail fields. It is with no surprise then that we are seeing companiessupplying healthier goods to meet with customers demands.
The world of bedding and linenshas not been exempt from this trend and one can now find many natural fibresreplacing the more conventional synthetic beddings. Coverings such as polyesterand other synthetically made linens are not as sympathetic to our bodies needsas natural products are. Down, wool, cotton and silk are all examples ofnatural products seeing resurgence in the bedding market. As manufacturingtechniques become increasingly sophisticated the prices of productiondecreases, making once prohibitively expensive bedding products more accessibleto a mass market.
Silk bedding has seen a hugeincrease in both trade and expansion of products recently. The silk filledduvet market in particular has grown tenfold from five years ago. Take a lookat silksleep (dot) com who have been trading for several years now exclusivelyselling silk bedding products. Silk as a bedding product is both natural andhealthier than using a synthetic product. Silk bedding by nature isinhospitable to bed bugs as the natural protein in silk repels the bugs andmites, making for a healthier sleeping environment. Some silk duvets arelayered using mulberry silk, working enough silk together in a grid pattern tobe able to be stitched into a duvet. This layering effect has a beneficialresult as the silk allows our body heat to regulate itself, which in turn givesa better more relaxed nights sleep.
Silk linen and pillow slips havealso seen remarkable growth in the past few years. This is again because of sophisticatedproduction techniques but also because there is a renewed demand for naturalproducts. There is now a wide range of silk linen on the shelves in many goodretailers and online stores. Many sell mulberry silk products which are farsuperior to other kinds of silk. Mulberry silks have been specificallyharvested for a targeted production process. Be it for clothing, bedding ordecorating, the durability of mulberry silk over other silks is noticeable andshould be favored if at all possible.
