Silk is hypoallergenic

Ideal for allergy sufferers
Silk has been associated with elegance and luxury for many years - but the material is actually also an excellent choice for anyone who suffers from allergies or sensitive skin.
People who suffer from severe allergies may often experience relief by sleeping in silk bedding. This is mainly because dust mites are the most common cause of allergies, and silk's natural fibres naturally deter them. Silk creates an environment in which dust mites find it difficult to thrive. This is related to the protein sericin, which is found in silk fibres and effectively repels dust mites.
Sericin also makes silk resistant to mould, fungi and bacteria, which means that silk fabric is naturally hypoallergenic. But the benefits do not stop there: Silk provides a clean, soft and comfortable sleeping environment that everyone can enjoy - whether or not they suffer from allergies. That is why bedding made from genuine silk is a luxurious and gentle choice for every skin type.
