This article delivers an overview of everything you need to know about Mulberry silk and explains why it is the Perfect Choice for your luxury bedding including insight on what makes it beneficial for comfort health and beauty.
When it comes to luxury bedding, we believe one material reigns supreme: mulberry silk. And after all, we are a leading retailer of pure silk bedding and accessories. But our Mulberry Park Silks team is certainly not alone in extolling the many virtues of silk fabric. For thousands of years, silk has been prized for its unparalleled softness, luxurious feel, and numerous health and beauty benefits. Read on to learn why mulberry silk is so special and how those unique qualities make our pure silk sheets a life-changing bedding choice.
Mulberry silk is spun from the cocoon of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, that feeds exclusively on nutritious mulberry leaves. Mulberry silk fibers are known for being the longest, strongest, and most uniform of all silk. That’s why mulberry silk threads make the softest, most luxurious silk pillowcases, silk sheets, and silk accessories.
Mulberry silk is a natural silk that—similar to your hair and skin—is protein-based. That means mulberry silk delivers unique benefits—and a great night of beauty sleep—that you just won’t get from satin or even high-quality cotton bedding.
Mulberry silk helps your hair and skin retain moisture and stay hydrated while you sleep. Other fabrics, like absorbent cotton pillowcases, can pull moisture away from the skin and hair. Mulberry silk bedding gives your hair and skin the best chance of staying healthy and hydrated.
The smooth, friction-free surface of mulberry silk helps reduce friction against your hair, preventing tangles, breakage, frizz, and bedhead. Mulberry silk gently cradles your hair, leaving it smoother and more manageable. For added protection, sleep on a silk pillowcase at night and use gentle silk scrunchies during the day.
Sleeping on mulberry silk is like giving your face a spa treatment every night. The smooth surface of a mulberry silk pillowcase or silk sleep mask helps minimize sleep wrinkles caused by friction and compression. Dermatologists often recommend silk as a gentler sleep surface for skin health.
Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resists dust mites, mold, mildew, and allergens. Its tightly woven, smooth fibers help create a cleaner sleep environment, making it ideal for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
Mulberry silk is also a natural insulator with moisture-wicking properties. It helps regulate temperature by keeping you warm in cooler months and cool during warmer seasons.
With proper care, mulberry silk bedding can last for years. Hand wash using a gentle, pH-balanced detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the silk’s color, strength, and luster.
