Introduction to Silk Quilts
A pure silk quilt of the "Choyers" brand is made of natural silk by hand. Each quilt has the characteristics of lightness, softness, ventilation and coolness. The silk contains the special ingredient of sericin that is non-allergenic and easy on the skin. Constant use of it will ensure good health so it is sought out by customers at home and abroad.
- Improving sleep. Varieties of amino acids necessary for the human body are contained in the sericin are released as fine particles, called sleep factors, to help ease the nervous system and to ensure a sound sleep.
- Superb cold-resistance and temperature-constancy. Silk has the maximum "volume airgap". It traps the body's heat during cold weather better than feather or cotton stuffing and it sheds unnecessary heat during warm weather to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the quilt.
- Characteristics of anti-acarids, anti-bacterium, allergy resistance and skin affinity. Silk sericin helps to keep the human skin delicate and smooth, and to check acarid and mycete from multiplying as well, so the silk quilt is the best choice for one with skin sensitive to various allergens.
- Its moisture resistance. The fibroin in the silk contains two substances called "affinitive side-chain amino acid". They absorb moisture in the air and eliminate it to keep the quilt dry and snug. Therefore, the silk quilt is good for rheumatics prevention.
