Deluxe 100-Percent Natural Green tussah Silk Filled White Comforter for Summer

I have a nearly identical midweight comforter, but was looking for a summer weight one. It's very nice, the weight was right, etc., but I can't use it because it has a strong chemical smell. I noticed it out of the package when I got it, and just put a sheet under it and over the top part by my face. The label said to "Professionally launder", which I did nearly immediately, hoping to get rid of the smell.

Well, it smells worse than ever now. It's kind of like raw silk dipped in cholorphorm and mixed with acetone. I wish I hadn't used it and had it washed, because it's probably going to get thrown out now. I'm sad, because I would have loved it otherwise.

I was looking around for a new comforter, but after owning a few different down comforters and getting tired of the feathers and extra heat I was trying to find an alternative. After some research I heard silk comforters help to regulate body temperature and don't trap heat like down. Most of the silk comforters I looked up were extremely pricey, but this one was a great price. I was a little skeptical, but I figured I would pull the trigger and worse case scenario I use it for guests. It's pretty thin, but comfortable to sleep with. My girlfriend has a tendency to get night sweats, and the down made it very bad for her although she loved the feeling of it when she went to sleep. This comforter has kept her from getting night sweats and keeps us both cozy at night. For the price, I think it's amazing. I paid 3x as much for my last down comforter and it's now packed away. I will probably get a better one eventually, but this one is doing it's job nicely so far.

I bought a medium quality silk comforter in China several years ago and this one is about the same quality. I gave this one 5 stars due to its value based on quality vs. price, which is outstanding.

Another reviewer had problems with chemical smells, so the first thing I did as soon as I unzipped it was to smell it. Mine had a very faint odor of woodworking oil stain as if it had been on recently stained wood. The label says the silk is sanitized, so maybe there's a cleaning chemical involved. It's not even noticeable now that I've put it in the duvet cover.

Silk comforters are made differently from down ones. The silk is actually whole cocoons that are stretched across a duvet sized frame one on top another. So the insides are many thin layers of randomly pulled raw silk that lay flat and run the full length of the comforter. The thickness is minimal, and unlike down, is fairly even everywhere.

This duvet is lightweight (for silk) and appropriate for summer or well-heated bedrooms in winter. They do make heavier and costlier silk comforters for colder situations. I find that silk breathes really well and is very adaptive to temperature, so it's seldom ever is too warm or cool when sleeping. Compared to a summer weight down comforter, this silk one feels more substantial over me and the duvet holds its shape better. It's like having a blanket over me without getting roasted on warm nights. I use silk in the summer and switch back to a winter-weight down comforter when it gets cold.

The only think that you may not like about silk is the blanket-like weight and stiffness of it. If you love the feeling of an ultra light, floppy, airy down duvet in summer, this may not be your cup of tea. If you want a duvet that keeps its shape well and is highly adaptable to temperature, I'd recommend this one.

I was looking for a lightweight comforter for the spring/summer that would provide some cover but not overheat me. This silk comforter fits the bill. Soft and comfortable, it provides warmth when it's cooler out without overheating.

For $117.00 I expected this to be a little more, well, nicer. It feels like a run of the mill medium size comforter, but not fluffy at all (as shown by the picture). The outer fabric is not that soft. If it gets chilly I need a blanket along with this comforter to stay warm. A quality duvet will probably make this somewhat worthy. I'm just dissapointed, and i should have waited for more reviews to be posted. Oh well.
