Care Instructions
Care Instructions
For the quilts with TENCEL covers, we recommend using a gentle pH-neutral liquid detergent and cold water to prevent damage to the silk fibres.
For the quilts with cotton covers: the cover should be removed and washed separately as standard cotton bed linen. We don't recommend washing the silk filling. Dry clean (no trichloroethylene!) it instead.

Summer or All Season?
The choice between an All Season and a Summer silk quilt depends on your personal comfort preferences and the climate in your area.
Summer Silk Quilts
The lightest silk quilt in Australia, our Summer quilt will protect you from the heat all year round if you live in an area with high temperatures no matter the season and keep you cool during hot summer months elsewhere.
If you are a hot sleeper and the heat tends to keep you awake, these quilts are your best option.
All Season Silk Quilts
Our All Season quilts are thicker, slightly heavier and noticeably warmer than Summer quilts, making them suitable for both - cool and hot weather.
If you live in an area with weather significantly changing during the year or are a cold sleeper and prefer to snuggle in a warm, cosy bed, then our All Season quilt is the right choice.
TENCEL or Cotton?
Silk Quilts with a TENCEL Cover
TENCEL is well-known for its silky soft feel and moisture-wicking qualities. Though it absorbs more moisture than cotton, TENCEL is ten times more resistant to bacterial growth (because of its antibacterial properties), which makes our silk quilts with a TENCEL cover an ideal option for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
Compared to cotton, less water and chemicals are used in TENCEL production, making it more environmentally friendly.
Silk Quilts with a Cotton Cover
A cotton cover is soft and breathable, helping you feel pleasantly comfortable and soothed for the whole night.
Cotton absorbs less moisture than TENCEL, making these quilts a perfect choice for people with dry or normal skin.
The cotton cover has a hidden zipper closure and can be easily removed, machine-washed, and dried separately from the silk filling, making it easy to care for.
Whether TENCEL or cotton, we use 400 thread count fabric, which is noticeably thinner and smoother than the standard linen fabric and doesn’t produce this annoying rustling noise during sleep.
What Makes Our Silk Quilts Stand Out
Affordable Prices
We take optimising our business processes as seriously as we care about the quality of our silk quilts, constantly working on reducing our operational costs.
Most importantly, we are fair with our pricing - our margins are realistic and reasonable.
That allows us to sell silk quilts at very reasonable prices, significantly cheaper than nearly all silk quilts of the same quality in Australia.
Superior materials
We never compromise on quality and go a step further in selecting the highest-grade materials compared to most of our competitors.
- Our quilts are filled with 6A Grade Mulberry silk, the world's finest and most expensive silk.
- Our cotton covers are manufactured from 400TC (thread count) 100% Cotton, a higher grade than the industry standard of 200-300TC.
- For TENCEL covers, we use the original fabric produced by Lenzing, the leading European textile manufacturer.
Exceptional craftsmanship
Among the most modern in China, our manufacturing facility utilises advanced techniques and processes and employs highly skilled personnel.
The attention to detail, from quilting and piping to packaging, contributes to the overall excellence of silk quilts.
Two cover materials - for a reason
Cotton is an excellent fabric for a quilt cover, which absorbs very little moisture during sleep, making it a perfect choice for people with dry or normal skin.
For those with sensitivities, a cotton cover can cause itchy, cracked, and irritated skin. So, we designed our silk quilts with a TENCEL cover, especially for people with sensitive skin (and allergies).
The only silk quilt in Australia of its type
We've introduced a unique design that allows you to remove the cotton cover and wash it separately from the silk filling.
We still recommend using a separate quilt cover, but our cotton cover provides the perfect protector for the silk filling.
Washing a silk quilt is now a breeze! You don't need to be a laundry expert. Just remove the cover, toss it in the washing machine and wash it as you would normally wash any cotton items.
The lightest silk quilt on the market
Our Summer silk quilt with a TENCEL cover is the lightest on the Australian market.
With only 150 GSM and an actual weight of less than 2 kg, it's a perfect solution to stay cool even during the hottest summer nights.
Customer service we are proud of
We are a small Australian-owned and operated family business. We don't have offshore call centres to answer phone calls and don't use chatbots to handle online enquiries.
We are personally here for you. Just get in touch if you have any questions or need any assistance.
Did we mention that we don't dropship? All our products are dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse.
What Our Customers Say About Our Silk Doonas
Among numerous feedbacks from our happy customers, we thought this one from Julie, who purchased our Winter Silk Quilt Bundle, worth being featured:
"I did sway back and forth with the idea of a silk quilt, wondering if these quilts would live up to the hype or be another epic Internet failure.
Firstly, I would like to state that we live in the coldest climate in Australia (Canberra), and our house temperature can drop to 16 degrees Celsius at night. This year has been particularly fierce, so I thought this would be a good test of the quilts' properties.
We both love the weight of the quilt, which gives us a sense of comfort. The cotton cover is luxuriously soft and is not noisy when turning over. Overall, we are greatly amazed that the silk quilt is more than meeting our expectations and would not hesitate to recommend it."
The Lightest Silk Quilt in Australia
Designed specifically for hot sleepers, our summer quilts with a TENCEL cover are the lightest silk quilts on the Australian market - a Queen size quilt weighs less than 2 kg.
Based on the feedback we receive from our customers, these quilts are also the ideal choice for women going through menopausal or post-menopausal transition.
Finally! You can stop night sweats and overheating and sleep peacefully without feeling too hot, no matter the temperature.
How to insert your silk quilt into a cover
- Unzip the quilt cover, turn it inside out and place it on the bed.
- Put the summer silk quilt on top of the cover and tie the strings to the quilt loops (4 in the corners and 4 on the sides).
- Roll up the quilt together with the cover from top to bottom.
- Pull the corners through from the inside so the bottom of the quilt is now inside the cover and roll it back out.
- Zip it up and - VOILÀ - you're all set!
6 Irresistible Reasons to Buy a Silk Quilt
1. Supreme Comfort
Picture yourself sinking into a cloud of silky goodness. That's exactly how it feels to snuggle up under a silk quilt. The smoothness against your skin is pure bliss!
2. Year-Round Wonder
Don't you hate having to switch quilts with the changing seasons? Well, guess what? Silk quilts are perfect all year round! They're lightweight and breathable, keeping you cool in summer and cosy in winter.
3. Bye-Bye Allergies
If you suffer from allergies or have sensitive skin, a silk quilt is your new best friend. Hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould and bacteria, it'll help you sleep peacefully without any sneezes or sniffles and keep your bed clean and hygienic.
4. Temperature Regulation
Unlike any other quilt, a silk quilt acts as your own thermostat, working WITH your body, not against it, keeping you warm in colder months and pleasantly cool in hot seasons to ensure a comfortable slumber all year round.
5. Elegance
Silk quilts ooze elegance. Their timeless beauty and high quality craftsmanship add a touch of sophistication to any bedroom.
6. Longevity
Despite the higher price tag than many lower-quality budget quilts, a silk quilt comes with one catch - with proper care, it will last for many years, longer than other quilts that may require more frequent replacement.
Why Silk Quilts are Better
-
Naturally Hypoallergenic
Silk quilt is an excellent option if you suffer from allergies or skin issues - it's very comforting and soothing on your skin.
-
Antibacterial & Antifungal
Silk is a material that germs struggle to cling to or grow on, and is resistant to dust mites, mould and bacteria.
-
Temperature Regulating
Silk keeps you comfortably cool in summer and warm in winter, making it possible to get a great night's rest all year round.
-
Lightweight & Breathable
Silk is made from thin natural strands, allowing for better air circulation than cotton, wool, down and synthetic materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a quilt, a doona and a duvet?
Technically, "quilt", "duvet", and "doona" are different terms that describe the same bedding item.
"Quilt" and "doona" are most commonly used in Australia, while "duvet" is a European term. In The United States, people often refer to "quilts" as "comforters".
2. Are silk quilts any good?
Yes, silk quilts are an excellent bedding choice due to their hypoallergenic properties, lightweight, and softness.
They also provide superior temperature regulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
3. What is the best silk for a quilt?

Produced by silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, Mulberry silk is known for its softness, strength, and natural sheen.
4. Are Mulberry silk quilts worth it?
Absolutely! Mulberry silk quilts are worth the investment due to their high quality, hypoallergenic properties, and temperature regulation.
They are also long-lasting and provide excellent comfort and softness.
5. Can you wash a silk quilt?
Yes, you can wash silk quilts.
For the quilts with TENCEL covers, we recommend using a gentle pH-neutral liquid detergent and cold water to prevent damage to the silk fibres.
For the quilts with cotton covers: the cover should be removed and washed separately as standard cotton bed linen. We don't recommend washing the silk filling. Dry clean (no trichloroethylene!) it instead.
It is also essential to follow our silk bedding care instructions.
6. How often should you wash a silk doona?
We recommend washing a silk doona every 6-12 months, depending on the usage and other factors, such as humidity and dust.

The best way to store a silk quilt is to fold it neatly and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
10. Can the silk filling inside the quilt cover move about?
No, it can not.
The cover has 8 loops (4 in the corners and 4 in the middle of each side), and the silk filling has 8 strings tied with the cover's loops, so it's fixed firmly within the cover.
