Mulberry Silk Duvets and Mattress Toppers - For Babies Cribs

We often don't think of the same bedding requirements for our babies as we do for ourselves.  After all, their bed is so small!!

However, it is more important that your baby is comfortable at night, not only for the usual reasons of waking for food or a diaper change, but for the discomfort that a wet diaper can cause on the bed.

By using our Mulberry Silk Mattress Topper in conjunction with our Mulberry Silk Crib Duvet, you can rest assured that your baby will be drier and more comfortable and will not wake up during the night.  This, of course, is great news for parents!

Babies are also inclined to sweat during the night, but when they sleep on top of, and underneath silk, sweating is drastically eliminated.  The same problem of perspiring that menopausal women suffer from is also true of babies.

Mulberry Silk Duvets aids menopause sufferers

Menopause sufferers are finding comfort and relief when sleeping with MULBERRY SILK DUVETS.


Silk wicks away moisture and leaves you feeling dry and cool and helps when suffering from hot flashes.


What happens with hot flashes?
Hot flashes are the result of changes in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates the body's temperature.  If it mistakenly senses that a woman is too warm, it starts a chain of events to cool her down by dissipating the body heat through the blood vessels near the surface of the skin.  It causes perspiration to cool the body down.  These typically occur at night and interfere with sleep.

What does wicking mean? 

Moisture wicking happens when synthetic microfibers draw(or wick) the moisture from the skin and force the moisture to the surface where it is released. Synthetic microfibers have hydrophobic (water hating) properties whereas cotton has hydrophilic (water loving) properties. Avoid cotton because it traps moisture, so it stays wet and draws heat from you.

Duvet is packed in a cloth bag

MULBERRY SILK DUVETS are made from 100% silk thread.  The duvet will wick away the moisture from the body and disperse it to the edges of the duvet.  This results in keeping you cool when suffering from hot flashes and avoids the necessity of sleeping in a wet bed.

Disturbances in sleep cause irritability, which is one of the systems of menopause.  If you are dry the whole night, you will be better able to face the day in the morning.  Women who use our MULBERRY SILK DUVETS have told us that they are better able to cope during the day, and are happy with the  feel of the duvet.  

Duvet is thin, but envelopes one for all night comfort.

Down duvets are thick and pouffy, and while they look luxurious, they can cause sweating at night and the moisture collects in the cover and stays moist.  While a Mulberry Silk Duvet is thin, it surrounds your body with a light texture, making it the perfect marriage for a good night's sleep.

This is my happy dance, because my "little" invention has been selected for further TV testings. Watch this space!!

The New Sleep Sensation

The move to "organic" and "natural" and "save the environment" is making us all a bit crazy. 

What should I buy, am I destroying the ozone by using sprays, who should I ask if I am not sure about it.

The stress of today is leaving us all a bit frazzled and sleep deprived.  

But we can do one thing to make our sleep healthier and more comfortable.  

Enter the MULBERRY SILK DUVET

When the ancient Orientals discovered the properties of silk thousands of years ago, special mulberry fields were planted along the banks of Lake Taihu to feed the silkworms that spin the choicest silk of all. The Mulberry Silk Company of Zhenze, Lake Taihu, still source their succulent mulberry leaves from the very same fields, and go to great efforts to uphold the same exacting standards and ancient traditions established by the royal courts in days of old.

Silk’s amazing hypo-allergenic and hygroscopic qualities have been a great source of relief for allergy and rheumatism sufferers across the globe.

Because silk naturally draws moisture away from the body at night, and releases it into the air, the dust mites that typically trigger feather-related allergic reactions are deprived of the moist environment they require for their survival.

In addition, silk has been shown to possess 18 types of naturally occurring compounds that are believed to promote a host of positive health care functions, such as soothing the nerves, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin.

Success versus Failure

A sermon recently expounded the value of failure not as failure itself, but as a means of growing one's sense of self worth and moving towards new experiences.

Failure does not mean that one has failed in life's
work, but is just a measure of how much more one has to
do in life. If one task is not successfully completed,
it does not mean that one is a failure.

There are many reasons why a task fails.

The analogy given was with Moses who successfully led
the Israelites out of Egypt through the desert and
established the ten commandments as a rule of life.
However, Moses, at the moment of success and fulfillment of the
work he was assigned by God, was denied
entry into the Promised Land. Was his life a failure?
Perhaps. It depends on which side of the fence you
reside.

Had Moses led them into the Promised Land, his job would
have been over, he would have succeeded, but then what
would he have done?

So, too, is the concept of failure misleading in today's
frenetic world, full of businesses closing and going
bust. It was never the intention of the owners of those
companies to go bust. They put every fiber of their
being into making them successful. But circumstances
sometimes deny the fruition of the best laid plans, and
failure occurs.

It is not a reflection on the failure itself, because it
is a time to re-group, re-focus, and re-align oneself
with a new vision, a new purpose and a belief that a new
path will appear so one may grow and mature.

It is neither a reflection of success itself , because
once you have achieved what you set out to do, what
further vision do you have? You cannot rest if you have
achieved everything. There should always be something
more that one can focus on.

The point of the sermon is that if one does not fail,
one will not grow and have a sense of value in life.

Growth is not measured in stature and material things.

It is measured in life's lessons.
It is measured in humility.
It is measured in one's ability to grow.
It is measured in visions and the ability to act upon
them and bring them to fruition, even if you yourself
ultimately fail in the end.

Failure is a hard lesson to learn. It brings on
depression, a feeling of low self worth. The success in
life is overcoming these hard knocks, rising above them,
bringing new and fresh ideas to the table.

But one thing I know... acknowledging failure and
walking away from it is a most liberating feeling.

It lifts the angst and anxiety and helps you deal with
moving forward to the next chapter in your life.

Ah, the hard lessons of life.
