Cotton & Silk 100% Mulberry Silk Filled Quilt Insert/Silk Blanket/Silk Blanket for Spring/Summer/Autumn, Ultra Soft, Breathable, Natural Body Hugging, King Size

Love it

This is a decent duvet insert. The quality is certainly nice, but not over 200 dollars nice. Currently it is showing as 200 and thirty nine dollars. I would say that is a bit steep for what you're getting here. Of course value is a personal thing and someone else may think it is worth it, or they're not familiar with better bedding and pricing, many reasons for varying opinions and this is only mine. The blanket is not weighted and doesn't say anywhere that it is weighted. I'm not sure why other reviews mention that it is weighted, unless the seller merged reviews from a different blanket, which sellers often do - so be on the lookout for that when researching any item on Amazon. Also, don't be fooled by the word "silk" in the product info. There really isn't any silk here that will make a difference in anything, so that is very misleading. And then you have all the specific "instructions" included in the package which state: 1) Use a duvet cover. 2) Dry clean, hand wash, or wipe clean. 3) Air dry in indirect sunlight; do not exceed 1 hour under direct sunlight. 4) Do not bleach and do not iron. 5) Do not wring it out. 6) Do not tumble it dry (and why/how could you if you're not supposed to get it wet, you're supposed to dry clean. Surely no one is handwriting this huge thing, either!!) 7) Do not place heavy items on a folded mulberry silk quilt when in storage. 8) Do not store it in a vacuum, as it will lose the softness after compression (I think they mean don't store it in one of those bags where you suction all the air out with a vacuum) Cotton isn't silk. It is cotton. Silk is a fiber just like cotton is a fiber, or any other type of thread. Cotton can't be silk, and silk can't be Cotton. So this is all very misleading at a high price point unless you don't mind the silk only being inside the duvet and not actually benefiting you or your skin or your senses. Reading the tags on the blanket, it says- "outer shell fabric: 100% cotton" and "duvet filling: Long strand mulberry silk." So they're saying the filling of the duvet is silk. No silk actually ever touches your body with this blanket. And the outside of it feels like plain old cotton, so it is important to know what you're getting here. If I'm paying for silk, I wanna see it and feel it. That is the point - T to feel that luxurious feel of silk on your skin, etc. Not to see it in wadded up mess inside a peephole as with this blanket. The blanket is very thin overall. It is not a typical duvet or poofy by any means. It lays flat on your bed and is thinner than any comforter or duvet I've ever seen. I can't even think of a duvet cover that wouldn't simply look pathetic and loose on this very thin blanket. When you want a duvet insert, this is not what you want. You want to fill the duvet cover out a little and this won't do it. It is more suited to use as is, but that is nearly impossible since you can hardly wash it. The duvet is not tufted or stitched enough to keep the filling in place. There are a few hearts or leaf pattern (I'm not sure which they're supposed to be) stitched in some places, but not nearly enough to keep the filling in place and not bunch up. There is a small zippered section that you can open and see right inside to the filling and feel it. You can all see and feel how it is just in there with no way to keep it from bunching up and wadding up in there. Absolutely you cannot wash in the washer because all the filling is going to end up in a wad somewhere inside the duvet. My opinion is that this duvet is going to be wrecked after just minimal practical use. You have to be able to see and feel the innards via that little zippered section in order to understand. It is like if you took a ball of hair and tried to spread it out as flat as possible and then put it in a bag and tried to use it as a blanket. The hair isn't going to stay in place in there unless it is tacked down somehow, all over, and that isn't the case here. There isn't enough tacking down to keep it secure and in good shape. I get the feeling this blanket is like a mash up of excess materials and supplies and they put it altogether just to make use of it, and they came up with this duvet. Maybe I just completely misunderstand the point of it, but it isn't worth it. Paying for silk products is worth it for sure, and I have other silk bedding products, but this one is just not worth it, as far as i can tell. You could absolutely find another duvet at a much better price and much easier care vs the HASSLE of this one which is stuffed with matted up supposed silk fibers. Why would you want to pay for a "silk" product when you dont even get to experience the silk, or feel it, or anything?? That is just a waste of money. The silk in this duvet is actually pointless because you actually have no indication that the silk is even there, since it is inside and your dont get to feel it on you. It doesn't benefit you. Doesn't change the feel of the duvet. Nothing. It could be filled with grass clippings or dog hair all spread out and it would make no difference and have the same end result. Know what I'm saying? I feel like they're trying to cash in on a "silk" product, but really it's all trickery because the silk that is there, you don't even get to experience, but you're paying a premium for it. You can actually experience the same exact weight and feel of this duvet at a much lower price point and you'll actually be able to wash it and dry it too, by choosing one that isn't trying to "sell you" on the silk aspect. Overall quality as far as stitching etc seems ok, but absolutely it is just overpriced trickery.

This duvet arrived in mint condition & in nice professional packaging, smelled new & fresh. It is made well & does a fabulous job at regulating temperature while sleeping. We never feel too hot or cold- always just right. It’s on the thin side of any other type of good quality duvet insert but because it’s silk it doesn’t need to be heavy . We prefer this lighter look & soft feel. We live in Texas and this duvet works well all year round. The reason I take off 2 stars is that it’s more the size of a king blanket than a size of a true duvet insert. It barely hangs over the edges of our mattress. And it swims & moves around in the king size duvet cover we purchased at Pottery Barn. Very frustrating & disappointing in this regard. Not sure why they made this duvet insert so small. This size would probably work better with in a queen size duvet cover & on a queen size bed. I wish they made this duvet larger so it fits a king bed like it should instead of like a shorter blanket.

It prompted to write this review is how much we enjoy this comforter. Initially we were apprehensive because of slight odor. We worked with the owner and got guidance. We air it out for a few days and eventually odor disappeared. It looks beautiful, feels soft and comfy. We enjoyed it very much

Why did I wait months to get this!!!! Every night before this purchase I was drenched in sweat using a down comforter. The heat would get trapped in there and I would wake up several times during the night. Finally remembered about silk comforters and bought this one. It is PERFECT. It feels soft and fluffy, super light and breathable, but hugs the body and still has weight to it. Best decision ever.
