It also has the effect of beauty, sleep aid, dehumidification, tranquility, anti-allergy, nourishing skin, and is a necessity for naked sleepers. But with the popularity of silk bedding sets. it has been a mixed reputation, for no other reason than that silk bedding sets are too serious for fake.
First of all, I will introduce you some knowledge about silk bedding. Before buying a silk bedding sets, you need to pay more attention to the following aspects: first, mulberry silk or crushed silk; second, long silk wool or short silk wool; third, handmade silk bedding sets or mechanism silk bedding sets; fourth, whether the bile set is suitable.
1. Understand the Difference Between Mulberry Silk And Sericea Silk
Mulberry cocoons: silkworm bedding are fed indoors, also called house silkworms. Mulberry silk is white with yellow color, delicate and smooth to the touch, with a faint odor unique to animal fiber, and the bedding made are particularly soft and snug.
Quercus sericea cocoon: artificially released in the wild, is a wild silkworm. Its original color is grayish-brown and often has to be bleached with chemicals. The feel of Quercus sericea silk is rough and not smooth enough, not as delicate and light as mulberry silk.
Both mulberry silk and crushed silk are real silk, but their prices are twice as different, and crushed silk is only one-half of mulberry silk. So when you buy a silk bedding sets, pay attention to whether it is mulberry silk or crushed silk. In particular, pay attention to those silk bedding sets. that are labeled “100% silk”. Since there is a cloth label, if it is mulberry silk, it will definitely be labeled 100% mulberry silk, if it is only labeled “100% silk” it is likely to be a mixture of crushed silk or crushed silk and mulberry silk, labeled “100% silk” is used to confuse the concept and attract. The label “100% silk” is used to confuse the concept and attract purchases.
2. Understand the Difference Between Long Silk or Short Silk Cotton
Long silk sponge: the whole double palace cocoon as raw material, length up to 1500m, silk cut off less, flat, will not run, shrink the group, not easy to board, warmth, comfort performance is excellent.
Short silk sponge: mostly yellow spotted silk, nymph lining silk, offcuts, etc. as raw materials. After bleaching treatment, processing made of silk sponge, silk length mostly below 625px, easy to break lumps, shrinkage, warmth, comfort is poor . Often friends buy a silk bedding sets cover a period of time, found that the silk lumps, broken layer or shrinkage of the group, these are mulberry silk offcuts. Short silk, chrysalis-lined silk, etc. through the machine shake, seemingly fluffy and uniform, smooth and white, but in fact, the fiber is short, elasticity toughness is poor silk bedding sets, or the surface layer, the opening is filament, the interior is actually short silk filling.
Some friends ask how long is considered long silk wool and how short is considered short silk wool? Unfortunately, there is no standard answer to this. Since its inception, THXSILK has insisted on using high quality filament cotton to ensure the comfort of silk bedding. .
If you see a bedding setsed silk bedding sets with a nice pattern like this picture, don’t buy it no matter how cheap it is! The biggest function of bedding setsing is not for beauty, but to hold the short silk that tends to run in clumps firmly in the area and not shift.
3. Handmade Silk Sponge And Mechanism Silk Sponge
According to the different processing methods of silk bedding sets, can be divided into handmade silk bedding sets and mechanism silk bedding sets, the key difference between the two is the step from cocoon into silk is the use of manual technology or mechanical technology, no matter which is the last step is the manual finishing of silk sponge into silk bedding sets.
Handmade silk bedding sets: It is a purely manual way to make silk cocoons into silk pockets, and 4-6 people evenly pull the silk pockets to form a silk net as light as silk wings, and stack them layer by layer to make the silk lining.
Silk bedding sets by mechanism: It is made from a large number of cocoons using certain chemicals by machine and equipment, and then it can be finished by 4 people laying it flat until it is flat.
To be honest, the invention of silk bedding sets mechanism is a good thing, and it is likely to be the next direction of development of silk bedding sets, because it greatly liberates people’s hands, reduces the hard work, saves time and is very efficient. However, this also often becomes an opportunity for some unscrupulous businessmen to adulterate the falsehood. He will be inferior raw material bleaching through the machine transformed, mixed in the core, even industry veterans can not even see.
The craft of handmade silk bedding sets is really in decline, only people like grandparents and parents of a generation know how to make handmade silk bedding sets, people in their thirties and forties are no longer aware of this craft.
Choose handmade silk bedding. or mechanism silk bedding. , the benevolent see the wisdom of the wise. It is also good to use high-quality raw materials for the mechanism of silk bedding sets. The brand silk bedding sets in the mall are all mechanisms because handmade silk bedding sets are time consuming and simply cannot support too much sales volume.
4. Choose a Bedding Sets Cover
A good silk bedding sets cover is important! The silk bedding sets is breathable, but the cover is not breathable for nothing! Silk is known as the “queen of fibers”, skin-friendly; if you choose too solid, thick, heavy cover, but increase the unnecessary weight of the silk bedding sets, hindering the play of the unique function of silk. From the perspective of practicality and comfort, breathable, skin-friendly cotton yarn cover is a good choice, but of course, do not choose too thin and sparse yarn cover.
Some friends bought 500g of silk bedding sets, plus 600g of bedding sets cover, and finally covered with 1100g of bedding sets, while the silk is only 500g, less than one-half. Therefore, it is best to reduce unnecessary weight, and it is best to choose a breathable and lightweight bedding sets cover. All the silk bedding. sold in shopping malls are tribute satin and jacquard, and the flowers are beautiful and the name sounds good, but it is not known whether there are problems.
High-density cotton yarn cover: breathable, light and soft, good friction coefficient, silk is not easy to slide, off the silk, as much as possible to reduce the unnecessary weight of silk bedding sets.
Thick cotton, tribute satin and other bile sets: cotton skin-friendly is better, but thick and breathable is not as good as cotton gauze sets.
Chemical fiber and other cloth sets: moisture absorption, breathability is poor, not skin-friendly, not recommended.
