One of the most exciting discoveries of early trade with China and India, silk remained the fabric of nobility and royalty for centuries. Today, silks are available to all of us and no longer require servants to maintain. King silk comforters come in several versions--silk outside, silk inside, and silk all over. Silk coverings and duvet covers can be found for king comforters with all kinds of fillings--down, cotton, and hypoallerginic materials. One of those hypoallergenic materials, by the way, is more silk! Both Indian tussah (wildcrafted) and Chinese mulberry (farmed) silk fibers provide the loft and warmth needed for comforter filling. And manufacturers tell us that silk filling has only part the weight of down. Silk outside, silk inside or silk all over--sleep like royalty!
