It’s common for babies and infants to experience hair loss and develop bald patches. This is sometimes due to hormonal changes, but is also often caused by friction. Since babies spend a lot of time on their backs, they are constantly rubbing the backs of their heads against their mattresses, resulting in their fine hair being tugged and eventually pulled out.

The liquid smooth finish of silk provides an incredibly soft and frictionless surface for babies to lie on, preventing bald patches, as well as allowing for hair growth where bald spots already exist. Cotton, bamboo and other fabrics can tug and pull on delicate baby hair, but the long strands and tightly woven nature of premium silk creates a smooth surface that allows bub’s hair to glide effortlessly and unharmed.

Hydration is essential for good health, and the same is true for your skin and hair too. Cotton and other absorbent fabrics draw in your skin and hair’s precious natural oils while you sleep, resulting in dryness and dullness. These fabrics also interfere with your beauty sleep by stripping away any moisturising face creams or nourishing hair products that you apply before bed.

The breathable fibres and natural hydrating properties of silk help you to retain these vital oils, and allow night creams and other beauty products to fully absorb into your skin and hair, rather than into your pillowcase. By keeping moisture close to your skin all night, you’ll wake up looking fresh and radiant, with a more hydrated and supple complexion.

While there’s no such thing as a miracle anti-wrinkle product, silk comes pretty close! We spend nearly a third of our lives in bed, and sleeping on the softness of sumptuous silk is the best way to protect skin against premature ageing. Lying down on cotton and other fabrics can stamp lines into your face and drag on your skin cells during the night. While these lines fade during the day, skin loses elasticity as we age, and it takes longer for our skin to bounce back from such pressure and aggravation.

Silk provides a perfectly smooth and even sleeping surface, so that there’s no friction on your skin overnight and no ugly sleep creases imprinted on your face in the morning! Albumin, a natural protein compound found in silk, also prevents premature ageing by promoting cellular regeneration.

Ideal temperatures make for a good night’s rest, and the temperature regulating property of silk ensures a comfortable night’s sleep no matter the season. Silk acts as a permeable layer between your skin and its surroundings, helping you to either warm up or cool down as required and stabilising your body’s temperature all year round.

Silk bedding is particularly beneficial for menopausal women who experience hot flushes, or for anyone else who sleeps hot.

Silk is the perfect material for those with allergies or sensitive skin, as it is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. Since dust mites are one of the leading culprits of allergy symptoms and skin conditions, sleeping on silk is ideal for soothing skin and preventing irritations and inflammations during the night.

The long, smooth fibres and luxuriously soft finish of silk can also provide a comfortable night’s rest for asthma sufferers as well as those with skin issues such as dermatitis, rosacea and eczema.

Recommended by hairdressers worldwide, silk is your secret to a magnificent mane! Sleeping on smooth and frictionless silk can protect your hair against breakages and split ends, as well as extend the life of blow outs and hairstyles.

Forget waking up with tangled knots and frizzy bed head; hair is shinier, healthier and smoother - you’ll never have a bad hair day again! Sleeping on silk can also prolong the life of your hair and lash extensions.

For anyone who sleeps hot, you know how restless bedtime can get, and how uncomfortable it feels to wake up drenched in sweat.

While silk is not a highly absorbent material, it does have natural moisture wicking properties, as silk fibres evaporate moisture at a fast rate. With the structure of silk fabric being made from thin and tightly intertwined fibres, this results in the creation of millions of air pockets, allowing sweat to move through the silk and evaporate into the air to keep you dry and comfortable all night.

Silk is naturally soft, and unlike other fabrics, does not require treatment by chemical agents to obtain its luxuriously smooth feel.

All our silk bedding has been tested and certified under OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 to be non-toxic and free from harmful dyes and chemicals. While many other silk products on the market only meet OEKO-TEX®’s Product Class II criteria, all our silk bedding meets the Product Class 1 requirements, being the most stringent class and deemed to be safe for babies and toddlers.

Our sleeping quarters can become a breeding ground for fungi and other microbes, but silk is naturally antimicrobial, and resistant to dirt, mould and mildew.

The cleanest and safest option for your family to sleep on, silk is a material that these germs are unable to cling to or grow on, like they can with cotton or wool. Choosing silk means you can also prevent the myriad of allergy symptoms and illnesses that are caused by these nasty microbes.
