Not All Silk Is Created Equal

Silk has been treasured for thousands of years, but not all silk is the same. Quality depends on the type of silk, the length of its fibers, and how it is woven.

At the sīlk, we use 100% mulberry silk, long regarded as the finest in the world. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, producing long, smooth, uniform fibers that are:

  • Softer and stronger than other silks.
  • Naturally durable with a beautiful sheen.
  • Gentle on the skin and hair, unlike blends or synthetics.

This is why mulberry silk has long been considered the “gold standard” and why we chose it as the foundation of our brand.

the sīlk Advantage

Silk isn’t just about softness. It’s about what it does for your body, your skin, and your wellbeing. Here’s why we call it the ultimate fabric for sleep:

  • Deeper, Cooler Sleep

    Silk regulates temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Breathable fibers wick away moisture for deeper, restorative rest.

  • Radiant, Youthful Skin

    Silk’s smooth, non-absorbent surface helps skin stay hydrated. Fewer sleep creases mean a fresher, more radiant complexion each morning.

  • Frizz-Free, Shiny Hair

    Silk reduces friction — no tugging, no pulling. The result is smoother strands, less breakage, and polished hair that lasts.

  • Hypoallergenic & Gentle

    Naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and allergens, silk creates a healthier sleep surface. Its soft fibers are soothing even for sensitive skin.

  • Light as Air Comfort

    Lightweight yet insulating, silk provides warmth without heaviness. It drapes softly, cocooning you in effortless comfort.

  • Lasting Luxury

    Silk is strong and durable, holding its beauty with care. Years later, it stays as soft and elegant as the first night.

Certifications & Safety

We believe luxury should also bring peace of mind. That is why our fabrics carry the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, ensuring they are tested and proven free from harmful substances. You can rest easy knowing your bedding is safe, non-toxic, and made to the highest global standards.

Conscious Luxury

We are committed to creating products that are as kind to the planet as they are to you. Silk is a natural, biodegradable fiber, returning safely to the earth without releasing microplastics. Because it is so durable, it creates less waste by lasting far longer than cheap sheets that wear out quickly.

Our packaging is minimal and recyclable by design, so your comfort never comes at the expense of the planet.

the sīlk Difference

What makes our silk special is not only the fabric but the way we work with it. At the sīlk, we bring together the natural qualities of silk with the details of modern craftsmanship.

Silk is breathable and balanced across the seasons, gentle on skin and hair, and naturally hypoallergenic. These qualities make it as restorative as it is beautiful.

We then refine those benefits with thoughtful design:

  • Hidden zippers and closures with reinforced seams
  • Washable pillowcases and sheets, and duvets that refresh with a simple airing

This blend of natural qualities and modern design defines the sīlk Standard:

  • 100% mulberry silk
  • Certified safe
  • Personally tested by us
  • Built to last in a timeless champagne tone

To us, silk is not just a fabric. It is a way of living better, night after night.

Myths About Silk

Myth 1: Silk is too delicate to use every day.

Fact: Our silk is made for everyday life. Pillowcases and sheets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, and duvets refresh with simple airing. With the right care, silk lasts for years — longer than many cotton or synthetic sets.

Myth 2: Silk is only for hot climates or cold climates.

Fact: Silk is naturally thermoregulating. It adapts to your body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. One duvet with year-round comfort.

Myth 3: Silk is slippery and uncomfortable.

Fact: That is polyester satin. Real mulberry silk has a soft, smooth drape that feels luxurious without sliding off your bed.

Myth 4: Silk is high-maintenance and fussy.

Fact: Not anymore. We’ve designed our products with hidden zippers, reinforced seams, and durable weaves so your silk fits seamlessly into modern routines.

Myth 5: Silk is bad for the environment.

Fact: Silk is a natural, biodegradable fiber. Unlike polyester, it doesn’t release microplastics, and because it’s durable, you won’t be replacing it every year. Conscious comfort, built to last.
