There are substantial differences between natural silk duvets and toppers and synthetic or feather-filledproducts .
Additionally, not all silk duvets are created equal, especially when comparing Setino, the duvet that uses T. Silk padding technology, to other silk duvets.
Thanks to its exclusive thermal padding T.Silk, the Setino Toppernatural mattresstopper is a unique product in the world of mattress covers.
Silk duvet and mattress topper… “Quality makes all the difference… as we know only too well”
Typical silkduvets and/or silkmattress toppers that you can find on the market and on Italian and international websites, available in various finishes and at different prices and quality levels, are generally made in and imported from China.
Their filling is derived directly from silk cocoons, which undergo processing which deprives them of their original cohesiveness and which are then pulled in order to create a series of bundles. These are manually layered on top of each other and sealed within two pieces of fabric, which can vary in type, level of workmanship and quality.
The resulting product may suffer from a range of critical issues in terms of filling:
Uneven softness due to the hard-to-control manual production processes.
Extreme variation in the density of the individual layers, with some areas containing thick clusters of fibres and some areas being nearly empty.
Excessive amounts of fibres at the edges due to the manual pulling technique used.
Lack of vertical cohesiveness between the fibres, (the layers are simply placed on top of each other)
Migration (displacement) of the different elements of the padding inside the product.
Very long fibres that, if they leak from the seams, can create clusters measuring over 10 cm and drag other filaments out with them.
Possible allergy issues due to the presence of excessive amounts of sericin (silk glue protein).
Maintenance problems caused by excessive loss of sericin during washing, leading to irregular colours and unpleasant odours.
Issues in humid environments, as fibres with excessive sericin tend to compact over time, losing their softness and consistency, and taking on a yellowish colour.
Setino is an innovative and modern take on natural silk duvets and mattress toppers
These exclusive natural silk duvets and mattress toppers guarantee:
Quality – they contain only SILK.
Consistency – every single layer is subjected to strict production controls.
Consistent density – there are no fibre clusters, amorphous or empty areas.
Consistent volume – the layering of the individual bundles is carefully planned and controlled.
Stable padding – the creation of vertical bonds between the individual bundles creates a soft, cohesive product, preventing displacement of the padding.
Performance control – variations in the horizontal and vertical orientation of the fibres of the individual bundles allows for varied and controllable levels of performance.
Extreme softness– increased amounts of air are trapped by the silk and between the individual bundles.
Thermoregulation – an increased number of fibroin fibrils, from the natural protein found in silk, offer exceptional thermal properties and breathability.
Physiological balance – by optimising sericin, one of the natural protein components of silk, the products can provide enhanced therapeutic properties and support the body’s well-being.
Thanks to the use of the patented T.Silk thermal padding, a tracked supply chain and Italian packaging, the Setino and Setino Topper are truly a cut above their potential competitors.
It is worth taking the time to learn what sets these products apart. Ask questions to understand the full picture before making your purchase. This is the only way to be sure that you are buying high-quality, economical and ecologically sustainable products, with exceptional levels of performance and comfort.
