See how much you know about mulberry silk comforters?
1. The thicker the silk comforter, the warmer it is.
People often think that mulberry silk comforters are better when they are thicker. Silk comforters are not thicker and warmer because silk comforters are not close to the body. You can imagine what it would be like to sleep with three comforters on. Will it be very warm? Some customers want to make a 10-pound silk comforter. It is a waste of money, and it is not breathable, close to the body, and not fluffy. The actual thermal effect is not as good as a 4-pound silk quilt.
2. The thicker the silk comforter cover, the more comfortable it is.
The thicker the comforter cover of the silk comforter, the higher the density of the fabric; it is not easy to leak the silk, it is not easy to pilling, and it is beautiful and high-grade. However, the thick comforter cover is heavy and relatively impermeable, and the thermal insulation is poor. The choice of fabric is a double-edged sword. The thin fabric is soft, breathable, close-fitting, and light, but it is easy to leak and pilling, not beautiful, and the appearance is not high-grade.
3. Don’t dry the mulberry silk comforter in the sun.
Many people think we should not dry the mulberry silk comforter in the sun. It is a misunderstanding. Facts have proved that silk comforters often dried in the sun can stay dry, and silk comforters are healthier, warmer, and more durable. But also avoid prolonged drying in the hot sun.
4. It is normal for a mulberry silk comforter to smell like silkworm chrysalis.
The silk comforter has a strong silkworm pupa smell, likely to be silk with excessive oil content. It is overcooked when cooking, soaking in water for too long, or incomplete degreasing will also cause the silk to have a strong silkworm pupa smell. Choose mulberry silk that does not have the smell of silkworm chrysalis. Silk with high oil content will be relatively unstable, easy to be oxidized and break, and reduce the life of the silk comforter.
5. The comforter made of pure silk is a good silk comforter.
Many sellers say that their mulberry silk comforters are made of pure silk. Comforters made of 100% pure silk can only be considered real silk comforters. And real silk comforters may not be good silk comforters. Silk can be divided into long silk cotton, medium long silk cotton, and short silk cotton according to the length of silk. Cheap short silk cotton is also real silk and pure silk comforter, but it cannot be regarded as a good silk comforter. According to the variety of silk, silk can be divided into mulberry silk, tussah silk, castor silk, and cassava silk, among which mulberry silk is the best.
In addition, the origin of the cocoon, the quality of the cocoon, the type of the cocoon, the part of the cocoon, and the production process also affect the quality of mulberry silk. When we choose silk comforters, we must buy silk comforters made of filament cotton.
6. Gold silk cotton is rare, expensive, and healthy
Today, this industry insider is revealed here, which may offend some businessmen. Golden cocoon silk is not rare, nor so expensive, nor has any special health care properties, and its lifespan is not as long as that of ordinary double palace filaments. So why do many businesses sell gold cocoon silk? It is mainly because the profit of gold cocoon silk is higher, so it is more willing to sell. The uninformed layman is easily deceived. The silk comforters used by the locals in Jiaxing never choose golden silk. Generally, the fibers of gold cocoon silk are relatively thin, and the toughness is slightly worse. Gold cocoon silk is generally imported from Thailand, which is another reason for its high price.
7. The silk made from spring cocoons is good.
The quality of the silk comforter mainly depends on the quality of the cocoons, the production process, and the quality of the cover. The cocoons of the spring silkworms are not necessarily better than those of the autumn silkworms. It mainly depends on whether they are made of high-quality double palace cocoons. Spring silk generally refers to the silk produced by the cocoons in the year’s first half, and autumn silk refers to the silk produced by the cocoons in the year’s second half. Generally, autumn silk is better than spring silk because the climate in autumn is dry and cool, and it is not affected by wet weather, so the quality of cocoons in autumn is much better than that in spring, and naturally, the silk in autumn is better than that in spring. Mulberry silk comforters are divided into cool summer comforters, spring and autumn comforters, and winter comforters. Silk comforters are light, fluffy, soft, not stuffy, and very warm, which is suitable for hot and cold seasons. To say that the silk made from spring cocoons is good is just marketing by merchants.
8 The silk comforter can be flattened and stored for a long time.
Don’t compress for a long time; it’s fine for a short time. Open and slap as soon as possible after transport to destination to restore fluff. Because silk is maintained is very important to preserve its fluffy. Before storing, let it dry once to remove the internal moisture as much as possible. Do not store it in a humid and hot environment or put it in a plastic bag to prevent the silk from getting wet, which will cause odor, loss of warmth, and breathability. Do not put heavy objects on the comforter to avoid thinning and hardening. So don’t press your silk comforter!
