Factors To Consider When Choosing The Best Silk Bed Quilt

Sizing

Choose the best size of silk quilt for your bed and sleeping habits. I have included the dimensions of all the silk quilts featured in this guide in the above table for your convenience.

You may wish to upsize your silk quilt size compared to your bed size, that is buy a king size silk quilt for a queen size bed, to ensure you have extra overhang and adequate coverage especially if you or your partner tend to move a lot during sleep or your partner tends to pull the majority of the quilt onto their side of the bed.

Having a bit of extra overhang will also keep you warmer by not allowing cold air to sneak in under the quilt.

Silk Filling Weight (Quilt Warmth)

It is important to consider the climate where you live and how much the temperature varies between the different seasons there. Also consider whether you are wanting a quilt for a specific season only such as Winter or whether you are wanting to use the silk quilt all year round.

In some areas where the temperature can vary a lot between Summer and Winter such as Melbourne you may want to consider buying two different weight silk quilts, both a Summer silk quilt and a Winter silk quilt. Alternatively you could choose to add a mid weight silk quilt on top of your Summer weight silk quilt for Winter to save some money and storage space.

For your convenience I have listed all the silk fill weights for the silk quilts featured in this guide in the above table.

Silk Quilt Price

With silk quilts you do tend to get what you pay for. If you find a silk quilt that is significantly cheaper make sure you check what the filling silk is. Is it high grade silk or is it filled with an inferior quality of silk or silk off cuts?

Benefits Of Sleeping Under A Mulberry Silk Quilt Australia Wide

There are a wide variety of silk duvet benefits as listed below. After sleeping under a silk filled quilt you will never want to sleep under any different type of quilt or blanket, I know I definitely don’t want to sleep under anything other than a silk quilt anymore.

Soft And Lightweight

Pure Mulberry silk filling is soft and lightweight. It provides the same level of warmth with only a fraction of the weight of other quilt fillings. This make sleeping under a silk quilt super comfortable and also beneficial for people with joint disorders who are unable to tolerate the weight of heavy bedding on top of them.

Temperature Regulating

Another of the best silk quilt benefits is the fact that silk is such an incredibly breathable fabric. It is the perfect year round bedding fabric as it feels cooling in Summer and insulating in Winter. Silk quilts prevent overheating. Sleeping under a silk quilt helps you sleep comfortably throughout the night.

Hypoallergenic

Silk is naturally hypoallergenic meaning it has a natural resistance to dust mites, mould and many other allergens. A silk quilt thus has less potential for irritation than quilts filled with other materials. This is one of the most significant silk quilt benefits for people who suffer with allergies and asthma.

Reduced Chemical Exposure

Silk is produced from domesticated silk worms that are bred in captivity. These silk worms have no predators. This means that no chemical pesticides or herbicides are required to protect them. This is unlike many other textiles that have been exposed to chemicals.

Silk quilts do not have the chemical odour common in synthetic quilts which can lead to respiratory problems and allergic reactions, like sneezing and coughing, in those sensitive to chemicals.

Easy To Maintain

Silk quilts do need some special care but they are relatively easy to maintain and keep in good condition.

As mentioned earlier silk naturally repels dirt, dust mites, mildew, moths and odours so you don’t have to wash them as frequently as other quilts. You can spot clean any stains on silk quilts or if you do need to wash it occasionally follow the washing instructions that come with your silk quilt and then air dry it.

Do not dry clean silk quilts as this can affect their natural properties.

Cover your silk quilt with a removable cover so you don’t need to wash it as often.

Where To Buy Silk Quilts Australia Wide

I tend to do my silk quilt research online and then also buy silk quilts online too. It is so much quicker and easier to check silk quilt dimensions, silk fill weights and silk quilt prices online than it is to drive around to various different bedding stores all over the city to do this research in person.

By shopping online I also avoid the traffic, avoid the search for parking and avoid the crowds. Shopping online, especially in 2022, is the way to go.

I hope this best silk quilt 2022 Australia buying guide helps you with your best silk quilt research enabling you to identify and buy the best silk quilt Australia wide to match your individual needs and wants.
