I have always felt that silk was a luxury, and was not something we should or could consider. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia recently, and our physician suggested switching to silk bedding. The silk duvets drape over a body, molding around it, which eliminates single pressure points, whereas other types of duvets create pressure from a heavy barrier.

And the best part is that because silk can keeps us cool when it is warm, and warm when it is cool, we maintain a more constant body temperature during the night
