Bring a touch of luxe to the bedroom with a silk-filled duvet and pillows and gorgeous pure silk covers and expect a heavenly nights sleep.

A Pure silk duvet may sound like the ultimate in A-lister luxury but, as well as being unbelievably light, gorgeous, soft and sensual, your new duvet will have some other amazing qualities. Because of the unique nature of silk it will be hypoallergenic, breathable and chemical-free and so it really does have the power to transform the way you sleep.

Chinese silk traded via the historic Silk Road was a prized commodity amongst the Romans in Europe as long ago as 53BC Now Multree are bringing silk duvets, sheets, pillows and pillowcases to Europe. They are manufactured in China by a small, family-run business based in Hangzhou, North of Shanghai. The silk is produced without the use of sprays and other chemicals so that it will not irritate the skin or harm the environment.

Silk thread is made up of 18 amino acids which are also found in the human body. It is because of this unique quality that silk is an anti-irritant and is increasingly used in medical treatment. Its natural smoothness, lightness and ability to absorb and then ‘wick’ away moisture so that it does not retain damp, has proved very effective in alleviating arthritis and irritable skin conditions such as dermatitis. Next to the skin, because of its unique compatibility with our own cell structure, silk is even claimed to banish wrinkles an have anti-aging effects.

But perhaps silk’s most amazing property is that it is hypoallergenic - dust mites and fungal spores cannot live in it. The Daily Mail raised awareness about this issue ‘Britons are spending their nights under filthy duvets packed with dust mites, skin scales and fungus…Researchers found out that the average bed contained up to 20,000 live house dust mites’ and ‘that synthetic pillows and bedroom radiators may be responsible for up to a quarter of eczema cases.

Silk duvets, pillows and sheets From Multree are a natural solution to allergy issues. including rhinitis, eczema and asthma. Other manufacturers of silk duvets cannot make this claim as their duvets are encased in cotton, not silk. Multree duvets are filled using long fibre mulberry silk and are cased in habotai silk. The naturally breathable quality of silk ensures that they are cool in summer and warm in winter and do not retain dampness.

As well as a complete size range of duvets, Multree supply silk pillows and silk bed-linen in delicious colours ranging natural ivory, warm mocha and to bachelor-pad black.
