While our comforters have silk or cotton shells, it is important to use them with duvet covers to avoid drawbacks.
Without a duvet cover, the outer layer of the comforter can get dirty easily. Also, washing the comforter with water isn't advisable because it will damage the soft and fluffy texture of the silk floss filling inside.
Getting a good duvet cover will solve these problems easily, as silk duvet covers can be machine-washed with water, unlike comforters. Duvet covers not only prevent allergic reactions caused by pure cotton but also enhance the bedroom's decorative theme.
Pairing your comforter with a silk duvet cover is the optimal way to fully experience all the benefits it offers. Duvet covers made from materials other than silk may compromise the comforter's breathability, lightweight feel, and hypoallergenic properties to some extent.
