When you’ve used serviceable cotton sheets all your life, it is a little difficult to switch over to silk. After all, silk sheets are expensive. They cost many times more than the cotton sheets you purchase from a discount store nearby. But the question is: are they just fancy or do they really justify the cost?
First off, cotton sheets may be inexpensive. But they also have a very short life. After you wash them a couple of times, even the best cotton bedding begins to lose color. Faded bedding can be a real eyesore. On the other hand, silk bedding outlasts several cotton sheets when taken care of properly.
The individual threads of cultivated silk almost match the durability of steel. Also, because silk fibers tend to stick, silk filaments have a strong bonding and do not break very easily. Also, silk has a naturally occurring substance called sericin, which makes it mildew resistant. So, even if you spend more money on silk sheets, you will get a much longer life out of them.
Cotton sheets may look like they are more serviceable. But they get quite uncomfortable when the weather is hot. Also, they cool off when it is cold. Silk bedding does the opposite. Silk is cool to the touch in summers. In the winters, silk fits warmly around your body thus preserving your body heat and keeping you warm. So, silk can keep you comfortable in all seasons.
Silk bedding is what the doctors recommend. Silk has several properties that make it the recommended choice for many doctors.
Ø Silk is hypoallergenic. Since silk is made by silkworms, the material has a number of naturally occurring substances in it. Even when the cocoon is converted into silk, these substances are not completely lost. So, fungus, molds and dust mites do not attack silk bedding. That is why doctors advise people suffering from asthma or allergic reactions to use silk bedding.
Ø Silk is good for the skin and hair. One reason for this could be because you cannot use harsh chemicals on silk bedding. So, the traces of these chemicals are not available on the bedding to do much damage to your skin and hair. Another reason could be the naturally occurring substances in silk that keeps away mold, dust mites and other allergy causing substances. Whatever the reasons, the benefits of using silk bedding are real and many people have felt the huge difference on their skin and hair. According to some experts, silk even has the ability to delay the formation of wrinkles.
Ø Silk is naturally fire retardant. So, it is a safer choice for bedding than cotton. Because it is gentle on the skin and hair and is totally safe, it is the recommended bedding for small children.
As you can see, silk bedding is a wonderful thing to own. And not just for its classy looks and seductive feel. However, to get good quality silk bedding, it is important that you buy silk from a reputed dealer.
Silk bedding does not really have to be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. Ordinary people can buy it too. A little research is all you need to land an excellent bargain.

O’Neill Law Vest – Women’s $139.95 Description Of O’Neill Law Vest – Women’sIn the 1950’s, Jack O’Neill opened his first surf shop in a garage across the Great Highway in San Francisco, a sand dune away from his favorite bodysurfing break. There he sold his first wetsuits, a few vests he made from gluing together pieces of closed cell foam.
