Why We Chose Mulberry Silk for Our Duvets

Nature’s most luxurious fiber—selected with intention, backed by science

At QUIVELLE, we believe that what touches your skin every night should be nothing short of exceptional. When we set out to create our line of premium duvets, we knew one thing for certain: we wouldn’t compromise on materials.

After researching and testing different natural fillings—down, wool, cotton, and various grades of silk—we made our choice: 100% long-strand Mulberry silk.

Here’s why.

✅ 1. Unmatched Comfort and Breathability

Mulberry silk has an almost magical ability to adapt to your body temperature.

Warm in winter, cool in summer—thanks to its natural thermoregulating properties
Soft and lightweight, with a barely-there feeling on your body
Breathable without losing warmth, unlike synthetic or down alternatives

It’s the kind of comfort you don’t notice—because it simply feels right.

✅ 2. Hypoallergenic by Nature

For anyone with allergies or sensitive skin, bedding materials matter.

Mulberry silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria
It contains sericin, a protective protein that repels common allergens
Its smooth, friction-free surface is gentle on delicate or irritated skin

We especially recommend it for asthma sufferers, babies, and eczema-prone skin.

✅ 3. Purity and Traceability

Unlike other types of silk (such as Tussah or Eri), Mulberry silk is cultivated—not wild. This means:

We can ensure consistent quality and fiber length
The silkworms are fed a strict diet of white mulberry leaves, resulting in the purest silk available
Every batch can be traced back to its origin

This level of control translates directly into quality you can feel.

✅ 4. Durability Without Compromise

Some people assume silk is delicate. That’s true for silk clothing—but not for our duvets.

We use long-strand Mulberry silk laid by hand into even, seamless layers. The result?

A duvet that won’t shift, clump, or break down with use
10+ years of dependable performance with proper care
No need to fluff, shake, or re-distribute filling like with down

It’s low-maintenance, long-lasting, and luxurious—an investment in sleep you won’t regret.

✅ 5. A Conscious, Sustainable Choice

We care not only about comfort, but also about the planet. Mulberry silk is:

Biodegradable and free from synthetic additives
Less water-intensive to produce than cotton or down
Harvested with ethical standards in mind, using non-toxic processes

At QUIVELLE, we pair our silk with OEKO-TEX® certified cotton covers to ensure your bedding is safe and sustainable—inside and out.

✨ Final Thoughts: What You Sleep In, Matters

We didn’t choose Mulberry silk because it’s trendy.
We chose it because it’s the best.

For your health, for your comfort, for your skin—and for the kind of quiet luxury that transforms your everyday sleep.

Whether you run warm at night, suffer from skin sensitivity, or simply crave hotel-level bedding at home, a Mulberry silk duvet offers something synthetic materials never can: natural intelligence woven into every layer.

Experience it for yourself.
