Why choose a Valeria Home Silk Mattress Protector made with Silk Padding?
We are using segments of 5-7 cm of silk yarns, that are perfectly individualized (stick one fiber to the other). These are mechanically laid in a pad that has volume and a lot of air trapped inside; that means in the end - very effective moisture management and very effective thermoregulating capabilities of each Valeria Home silk product.
The pad is 100% natural silk, with no artificial substances.
Our Valeria Home Silk Collection is different than the silk bedding products made with a mass of long silk fibers which are migrating and agglomerating and have a very low index of comfort.
More than that, discontinuous silk production (pad silk) does not need an intact cocoon to start from.
In partnership with selected local manufacturers, it has created and developed a particular kind of production in which the moth is set free and can leave the cocoon. Such a cocoon is used as a source of raw material for discontinuous silk (100% CRUELTY-FREE).
Instead, the continuous silk production process requires larvae killing before they pierce out the cocoon once the mutation has taken place, through the secretion of a corrosive liquid that damages the continuous wire.
Silk. The incredible fiber
Silk is a unique and exclusive fiber.
It isolates from heat and cold, makes excellent thermal insulation, absorbs excess humidity, and quickly releases into the environment.
Silk is a light, elastic, resistant material, not prone to pilling, and it can adapt its structure to the morphology of the human body.
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, perfectly compatible with human skin, antioxidant, and anti-aging.
The delicious sense of comfort offered by products made with Carded Silk Pad derives from the unique characteristics of the silk raw material potentiated by cutting-edge technological processing.
Benefits of using a silk mattress protector:
- Health benefits
- Durability
- Extraordinary thermoregulation
- Excellent breathability
- Excellent water and water-vapor absorption capacity without causing a “wet” sensation
- Capacity to release excess moisture to the environment
- Excellent ability to adapt structurally to the morphology of the human body and the design of the product
- Perfect compatibility with human skin naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial
- Anti-oxidant and anti-aging properties
- Naturalness and eco-sustainability of the raw materials and production process
- Low flammability no flame-propagating, does not melt and sticks to the skin when exposed to fire.
Fiber-proof cotton fabric
The oxygen-bleached cotton fabric means fewer allergies.
The cotton fabric is not coated (no polymer layer is applied) to prevent the migration of the fibers. The cotton fabric we are using prevents the fibers to migrate inside the fabric (dense fabric made out of very fine yarns). Moreover, mechanical processes are also prevented. The lack of this coating enables the air and moisture flow, significantly minimizing perspiration.
Caring for your silk mattress protector:
We would recommend gentle dry cleaning - spot cleaning only. Do not tumble dry. Hygienically we would also recommend, when the weather is appropriate, exposing the products to sunlight to wick away the natural moisture that appeared overnight. Furthermore, it should be taken into account that UV light is a high-power disinfectant.
If necessary machine wash is an option - gentle wool or silk washing program.
