Notes to Editors...
The Eastern nobles valued silk for its softness, warmth and lightweight
texture. Perhaps most of all, they praised its ability to seem warm
in winter and cool in summer. This is caused by its ‘breath-ability’
which enables it to absorb as much as 30% of its weight in moisture
without feeling damp. Yet the higher the moisture the cooler it seems
to the body. This almost thermostatic quality of silk means that the
body will stay at a constant temperature rather than ‘boiling up’
in the early hours of the morning, as is common with other bedding materials.
Silk’s natural hypoallergenic qualities have
come to be increasingly appreciated across the modern world. Silk bedding
is a blessing to all allergy sufferers who may be prone to asthma, blocked
sinuses, or other hay fever like symptoms. Many people are allergic
to dust or house mites and, unlike many bedding materials, silk will
not accommodate these mites. Silk also helps to avoid aches and pains
like arthritis and rheumatism and soothes itchy skin and prevents vascular
sclerosis. A possible contributing reason for these benign traits is
that silk, being made up of several Amino Acids, is very like human
skin. What could be more natural then, than to surround one’s own
skin with another skin? |
