Silk Duvets Versus Down Duvets
It can be difficult to get excited about choosing a new duvet; when there's so much information to weight up in the process... tog ratings, fill power, the pros and cons of goose down, feathers, silk, cotton or wool; not to mention the various polyester fillings such as ‘hollowfibre' versus ‘microfibre'. Are bedding manufacturers trying to confuse us?
What I have learnt is that nothing beats the best. Opting for superior quality bedding is certainly an investment. After all, whilst polyester-filled products lose much of their lofting and insulating ability after a relatively short time, a well-cared-for down or silk duvet may last a lifetime. So let's pitch the "Rolls Royce" against the "Aston Martin" of duvet fillings, the private jets of the duvet world - sumptuous silk versus blissful down. Which is better?
On the face of it, this isn't an entirely easy task as they do have quite a few features in common. Both silk and down are extremely luxurious bedding fillings and ultimately must be treated with a degree of care. Down is a three dimensional cluster found on the belly of geese and ducks and is what protects them from the elements. These clusters have thousands of tiny fibers, but do not contain quills, so they're literally bundles of fluff. It is this fluff which traps large pockets of air making down an extremely efficient insulator, yet light and lofty. Then again, what could be more luxurious than 100% Mulberry silk as a filling for a duvet? Mulberry silk duvets even come complete with a little inspection zip, discretely stitched into them, simply so the purchaser may inspect the long white silk fibres!
Both types of filling are wonderfully light-weight, appearing to float on your bed. The silk duvet; displays all the stiffness of barely whipped cream, whilst the down duvet is more of a fully whipped version. After all, Mulberry silk duvets are created in a different way to down duvets as silk does not require box stitching in order to be kept evenly distributed and eliminate cold spots. This means that a silk duvet drapes that bit better than down duvet. Finally, and by no means least of all, as natural fibres both down and silk have the marvellous ability to breathe, lifting away perspiration so you don't experience the clamminess which often occurs when sleeping under a synthetic duvet.
All in all, it's still not easy to decide between the two. There is, however, one main benefit of a silk-filled duvet. Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, so a Mulberry silk duvet won't make you sneeze! Could this be the deciding factor between silk and down duvets? Certainly as far as those sensitive to traditional feather and down fillings are concerned, at least. The Mulberry silk duvet has proven to be an anti allergy duvet which allows your body to breathe, ultimately providing an extremely comfortable night's sleep.

I have silk bedding and when I run my hand across it, or lift it away from the duvet there are sparks!?
Is this normal? Or safe? It's very strange! Like actual real sparks and flashes!
It is quite normal, this happens due to static electricity.
Electrons can be exchanged between materials on contact; materials with weakly bound electrons tend to lose them, while materials with sparsely filled outer shells tend to gain them. This is known as the triboelectric effect and results in one material becoming positively charged and the other negatively charged. The polarity and strength of the charge on a material once they are separated depends on their relative positions in the triboelectric series.
The triboelectric effect is the main cause of static electricity as observed in everyday life, and in common high-school science demonstrations involving rubbing different materials together (e.g. fur and an acrylic rod). Contact-induced charge separation causes your hair to stand up and causes static cling (a balloon rubbing on your hair becomes statically charged and becomes negative, and when it is near a wall it attracts to the positively charged particles in the wall).
Static electricity refers to the build up of electric charge on the surface of objects. The static charges remain on an object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge.
