Cozy Up With Silk: Mulberry Park Silks Bedding is Perfect for Winter

This article explains why silk sheets are a wonderful choice for winter bedding due to their temperature-regulating, hydrating, hypoallergenic, and gentle properties.

When winter weather comes calling, your quest for luxurious bedding includes an essential seasonal criterion: warmth! But before you turn to cotton sateen or even heavyweight flannel, there's something you should consider: pure mulberry silk sheets are a wonderful choice for the winter. From keeping you warm to protecting your skin and hair from winter damage, silk bedding delivers the beauty and wellness benefits you crave when the mercury drops.

Our Silk Sheets Keep You Warm and Cozy

Here at Mulberry Park Silks, we talk a lot about the cooling properties of silk. It's true that silk wicks away moisture and regulates body heat to keep you cool in warm weather. But that's only half the story. Silk is temperature regulating and adapts to changing conditions; this means silk preserves body heat to keep you warm in a colder environment. This is due to the unique structure of silk fibers. When you consider that a silk cocoon is a naturally protective environment, this makes perfect sense. Silk works to keep your body at an optimal temperature, which means retaining warmth in cool conditions.

"Silk is the perfect all-season bedding choice," said Mulberry Park Silks Brand Manager, Kendra Cosenza. "Slipping into silk bed sheets in the winter is an absolute delight. They are initially cool, but within minutes warm up to create a warm sleep space that keeps you comfortably cozy while never overheating."

Silk Protects and Hydrates Winter Skin

No question, winter is brutal on your skin. As temperatures drop and humidity levels plummet, our skin faces a barrage of challenges. Cold, dry air and wind outside conspire with artificial heating indoors to strip away moisture, leaving skin dry, itchy, and prone to irritation. Along with staying well-hydrated; regularly moisturizing; and using a humidifier, sleeping on silk bedding helps combat winter dry skin and itchiness.

  • Naturally hydrating: Like your skin and hair, pure silk fabric is protein-based, which helps your skin retain precious moisture.
  • Non-absorbent: Unlike cotton bedding that can absorb your expensive nighttime skincare products, silk pillowcases, and sheets keep those precious serums and creams where they belong - on your skin.
  • Hypoallergenic and non-irritating: Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin or those prone to allergies. Our silk pillowcases naturally resist mold, dust mites, and other common irritants, creating a cleaner sleep environment for your skin.
  • Antimicrobial: Silk has natural antimicrobial qualities, delivering an extra layer of protection for your skin as you sleep.
  • Gentle: The smooth surface of silk reduces friction, minimizing sleep creases and helping to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

Silk Fight Frizz, Flakes, and Hair Damage

Just like your skin, your hair suffers from harsh winter weather. Wind, cold, and temperature changes all shock your hair, making it far more prone to tangles, frizz, breakage, and split ends. The build-up of static electricity (especially from hats) worsens frizz and breakage. Dry winter weather and the cold also exacerbate flaky scalp and dandruff.

Fortunately, sleeping on a silk pillowcase can help control winter frizz and flakes with benefits similar to those silk delivers for your skin:

  • Moisture retention: Unlike cotton, which can absorb moisture from your skin and hair, silk helps maintain your scalp's natural moisture balance to keep it naturally hydrated.
  • Temperature regulation: Silk naturally regulates temperature, which can help prevent excessive sweating that might exacerbate dandruff and other fungal conditions.
  • Gentle: The smooth surface of silk creates less friction, reducing irritation and inflammation that can worsen both conditions.
  • Hypoallergenic. Silk's natural resistance to dust mites, mold, and other allergens makes it an excellent choice for sensitive scalps and sensitive skin of all types.
  • Protects treatment products. When using medicated treatments or moisturizing oils, silk pillowcases help keep these products on your scalp rather than absorbing them like cotton would.

Mulberry Park Silks: Your Source for Luxurious Silk Sheets and Pillowcases

Mulberry Park Silks produces the finest silk bedding at the best value on the market. We are transparent about the quality and pricing of our products:

All of our products are made from 100% pure mulberry silk, spun from the cocoons of silkworms that have been fed a diet exclusively of mulberry leaves. This makes for the longest, strongest, finest silk fiber.

Our products are genuine silk, not satin. Satin sheets are often misrepresented as silk, but they are a man-made synthetic fiber material. Genuine silk is a natural fiber; only a real silk bed sheet set delivers the luxurious feel and benefits you desire.

Our silk is Grade 6A, the highest quality in the marketplace.

Our sheets and pillowcases are a charmeuse weave (a lustrous texture on one side with a matte finish on the reverse) for superior softness and comfort.

Pure mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to mold and dust mites, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Our silk is also certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® and has been independently tested for harmful substances.

Our silk bedding is easy to care for and can be laundered right at home following these simple guidelines.

As always, the Mulberry Park Silks Team is available to answer questions and offer personalized recommendations and suggestions to help you select the perfect silk sheets or pillowcases for your style and budget. Give us a call or send an email; we are here to assist you!

Our Clients Also Ask These Questions:

What is included in a silk sheet set?

Our silk sheet sets include a silk flat sheet, a silk fitted sheet, and one or two silk pillowcases in the appropriate size. You can also purchase silk fitted sheets, silk flat sheets, and silk pillowcases separately.

Is genuine silk better than satin?

Only a mulberry silk sheet, which is a natural, protein-based fiber, delivers the beauty and wellness benefits you crave for your hair, skin, and sleep quality. Synthetic materials like satin are petroleum-based and do not offer any of these same benefits.

Can you clean stains from silk sheets?

Removing stains from silk sheets is possible; the key is to act quickly. For example, blood stains should be rinsed out with cold water from the reverse side as soon as possible to "force" the stain out.

Are bamboo sheets breathable like silk?

Bamboo viscose is a plant-based, breathable fabric, but it is quite different than silk. Here is a comparison of silk and bamboo bedding.
