Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use a silk bedsheet instead of cotton?

1. Protein vs. Cellulose

  • Silk is made of fibroin protein, similar to our skin and hair structure. That’s why it feels “second skin” soft and doesn’t cause irritation.
  • Cotton is made of cellulose (plant fiber), which is rougher and more absorbent, often leading to dry skin and frizz.

2. Moisture Retention & Absorption

  • Silk absorbs only ~11% of its weight in moisture → keeps your skin hydrated and prevents your night creams/serums from being absorbed by the fabric.
  • Cotton absorbs ~25–27% of its weight in moisture → pulls away natural skin oils, sweat, and expensive skincare products, leaving skin and hair dry.

3. Friction & Hair Breakage

  • Silk fibers are smooth & round (like glass under microscope) → creates less friction, reducing hair tangling, split ends, and facial sleep creases.
  • Cotton fibers are rough & irregular → increase friction, causing hair breakage and pillow creases on face that may contribute to wrinkles over time.

4. Thermo-Regulation (Hot Flashes / Sweating)

  • Silk is a natural thermo-regulator → it adapts to body temperature, keeping you cool in summers and warm in winters.
  • Cotton traps heat & moisture → once damp with sweat, it feels sticky and heavy, making night sweats worse.

5. Hypoallergenic Properties

  • Silk naturally repels dust mites, fungus, and mold because of its protein structure and sericin coating.
  • Cotton easily attracts allergens and dust mites, especially in humid climates like India.

6. Longevity & Strength

  • Silk is one of the strongest natural fibers—its tensile strength rivals steel of the same diameter. With proper care, silk sheets last for years.
  • Cotton weakens with every wash, becoming rougher and less durable over time.

Do silk bedsheets keep you cool in Indian summers?

Yes. Silk is naturallytemperature regulating. It wicks away excess heat and moisture, keeping you cool in hot summers and cozy in winters—perfect for Indian climates.

Can I customize my silk bedsheet?
