| Silk
is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite
free. |

Fifty
million people suffer from allergies and 23.2 million
suffer from asthma. Feathers or dust mites
that reside in down are a common cause of these
problems. Down has to be chemically treated
to be dust mite free and this isn’t always
successful. |

comforters are made of thousands of individual feathers
which bunch up, trap heat in one area, and expose
cold air in another area. |
