Silk is 'naturally hypoallergenic'
Published: 24 November 2008
If a person hopes to invest in bedding that stops them from sneezing in an allergic reaction, silk is the way forward for bedspreads, with one blogger highlighting the benefits of duvet covers and pillowcases made from the substance.
The healthiest choice for people hoping to avoid allergies at bedtime is for them to invest in silk sheets, according to a health blogger.Writing for Excelsiorbiz, the unnamed contributor said that dust mites naturally avoid the material, making the bed a safe haven from bed bugs and giving the bedding fan the perfect opportunity to get sleep.
It was added that buying silk-stuffed pillows and duvet covers would only make this experience even better for them.
The blogger concluded: "Not only will you have a wonderfully comfortable and luxurious night's sleep, you won't be sneezing over and over again, keeping you from sleeping."
According to Fabrics.net, the popularity of silk since its introduction to the Chinese Empire in the 27th century BC was highlighted by Aristotle, who noted it to be a valuable resource in both Greece and Rome, with Romans selling it for its weight in gold.
