For centuries, silk has been coveted and admired for its delicate texture and shimmering lustré. Over 5000 years ago, only the Chinese royal court was entitled to the legendary fabric where it was gracefully draped in the bedrooms of emperors and empresses. Employing the same techniques used thousands of years ago, Whispering Silk Duvets has brought silk back into the boudoir with a high quality silk duvet available for everyone to enjoy.

The silk for Whispering Silk’s duvets is harvested from the outer covering of silk cocoons nourished by Mulberry leaves. These silk fibers are longer than other lesser quality silks making them more durable. With a texture best described as silk floss, the material is carefully stretched and layered eventually forming the inside material for the duvets. A fine 230-thread count, 100% cotton cover is then wrapped around the silk forming an outer shell that provides additional durability and comfort.

Beyond silk’s already well-known qualities, many other lesser-known properties make it ideal for bedding. Allergy sufferers can breathe easier given that silk is hypo-allergenic and naturally resists dust mites. Silk absorbs moisture and perspiration because of its natural wicking properties. Silk also allows the body to breath and prevents overheating. It is surprisingly warm but half the weight of down-filled duvets. Silk duvets are known to keep the body warm on chilly evenings and cool on hot nights.
