| Silk is naturally
hypoallergenic. |
Down comforter fills are made
from wool or farm raised ducks and geese feathers which need to
be washed many times or chemically treated to get rid of dust,
dirt and organic matter. Wool, goose and duck down can cause
allergic reactions in some adults and children. Unlike silk
fiber's softness, the rachis-stiff shafts of feathers are
irritating to skin. |
| |
| Silk is naturally
odorless. |
The cheaper down comforters
use duck feathers while the more expensive ones use goose
feathers. Odor can be the big difference between geese and duck
down. |
| |
| Silk fiber
filling is naturally breathable and a temperature regulator.
Silk whisks away moistures. |
Down comforters provide
insulation by trapping the heat inside as well as the moistures.
It usually takes a while for the body heat to accumulate inside
the comforter. While into the sleep, temperature can rise to
uncomfortable levels. It is most common for children to kick
away their comforters in the middle of their sleep. |

| Silk comforters

| |
| Silk is the
lightest and softest fiber, it clings to your body quietly
according to your body contour. |
Since Down
comforter does not cling to your body, it creates air pockets
with the bed and the body. Therefore it takes longer to warm up.
Your sleep is interrupted when you move your body inside as it
not only becoming noisy but it creates new air pockets need to
be warmed again. |
