Why Choose Silk?
Comfortable All Year Round
- Silk breathes better than down, wicking moisture away from your
body. Its unique thermal properties allow it to adjust to your body
temperature, adding a perfect layer of warmth in all seasons.
- Silk comforters drape better than down, contouring to your body,
leaving no cold spots. Down runs from you, but silk comes to you.
- White Loft silk-filled comforters give you the warmth of down at a
fraction of the price and half the weight!
100% Natural, Allergy Free
- Silk is 100% natural and hypoallergenic, making it a perfect
alternative to down or wool.
- Silk fibers don’t break down the way feathers do; as down degrades,
allergies often become worse.
Trouble Free
- Layered silk fiber is remarkably stable; the delicate, fluffy layers
“adhere” to one another, never wandering or bunching. This means our
comforters require little or no quilt stitching, giving them a billowy
softness, a hallmark of every White Loft product.
For the Rest of Your Life
- Silk-filled comforters have a longer life expectancy than down
comforters.
- With proper care and our exclusive comforter covers, a silk
comforter can provide a LIFETIME of
use.

The Facts
Comforters are filled with 100% Virgin Silk
Fibers. The durable case on this product is pure Mulberry Silk.
Our comforters are designed to fasten onto our covers so that they
never shift or bunch. One edge of the comforter case is closed with
overlapping fabric and buttons; you can open the
comforter to feel the soft silk inside! Unlike down or other
fills, layered silk fibers will never protrude or spill through the
buttoned casing. |
History
A Time-Tested, Natural
Fabric
Silk is a protein fiber harvested from the cocoon of the silkworm
caterpillar (Bombyx mori). Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves. When
the silkworms are about 35 days old they are
10,000 times heavier than when they hatched. A silkworm spins
approximately one mile of filament, completely enclosing itself in a
cocoon. Silk batting is obtained by stretching numerous cocoons into
broad, thin sheets.
Legend has it that silk was discovered in 2640 BC by the Chinese
princess Hsi Ling Shi. It is said she dropped a silkworm cocoon into a cup
of tea; when she removed it, it emerged as a single thread. Harvesting
silk still uses this principle of softening the natural sericin adhesive
in boiling water. Over 30 countries produce silk, but China produces
roughly half the world's supply.
Silk fibers are the lightest of
all natural fibers. Comforters made with silk are both lightweight and
incredibly warm. Silk is a natural insulator and breathes very well,
keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Silk fiber is
lustrous, smooth, supple, lightweight, elastic, and strong. In fact, silk
fiber is so resilient that it will stretch by up to 20 % without damage.
Silk resists mildews, molds, and rots that attack other fibers.
White Loft comforters are made
with time-honored, traditional techniques.
- The cocoons are cleaned, steamed, and submerged in boiling water to
soften the natural sericin adhesive that binds the thread together.
- One by one, the cocoons are
stretched by hand, first over a curved bamboo frame and then between two
workers, to form large sheets of silk.
- Thousands of cocoons of silk are
layered together to form a lightweight batting that will not bunch or
shift.
- All comforters come in natural white. A durable
zippered carrying case is included with
each comforter.
As Always, we only
carry the best of the best when it comes to sleeping aides, pillows and
sleeping accessories.
