Why is Silk endowed with “Hypoallergenic” or “Anti Allergy” status?
House and Dust Mites are a common cause of allergic reaction in the home. One of their favourite locations is bedding, where their food source is the dead skin that we naturally shed. It has been observed that these mites will not, or perhaps cannot, live in silk. So, provided the rest of the bedding is washed regularly to keep it “mite-free”, this source of allergy can be controlled. Additionally, these duvets are encased in ‘habotai’ silk unlike most other silk duvets which have cotton outers.
