Why my fitted sheet pilled after one-year use? How can I prevent the pilling?

Silk, as one of the natural fibers, is very friendly to the skin. It helps to decrease the skin's loss of moisture and is better tolerated than other fabrics by people with sensitive skin.

Correct care will help your silk fitted sheet last for years. The part which rubs against your heels will pill easily because foots' skin is rougher after every-day walking. We advise you to cover that part with a towel to prevent the pilling issue.

Does putting a duvet cover over a comforter make the comforter warmer?

Yes, but not to a degree that you will be able to notice. Duvet covers are not designed to keep heat, although an extra layer of silk will certainly help retain some extra heat inside. The purpose of duvet covers is two-fold: to protect the duvets it keeps inside itself from dust and other possible sources of pollution, as comforters are usually difficult, if not impossible, to wash normally; and to provide an aesthetically pleasing layer over the often plain and non-decorated comforters to match with the rest of the bedroom decor. Our silk duvet covers also provide protection against skin abrasions and help with thermal regulation, but in the end, you should not rely on duvet covers for warmth.

How to choose the duvet cover

You should choose the duvet cover with the hidden zipper placed at the edge/back of the cover.  There are 3 advantages to using hidden zippers on duvet covers:

1 A regular zipper(not hidden)placed on the surface/edge of the duvet cover can break or weaken the sense of luxury of the cover.

2 Hidden zippers are covered with a layer of silk which makes them less likely to cause abrasions on your skin.

3 The cover that protects your skin also protects the zipper from breaking, granting a longer-lifespan to the zipper and less trouble for you.
