​While we don’t like to think about it, we all sweat when we sleep. In fact, the average person sweats more than 2 cups of water every night. Consequently, it’s crucial for our bedding to be able to wick this moisture away if we want to stay dry as we sleep.
Most traditional bed sets are able to wick some of this moisture away because they are made from cotton, a notoriously breathable fabric. However, mulberry silk is even more breathable than cotton. It can wick moisture away twice as fast and reduce the humidity in your bed by 50%. As you can see, you’ll stay comfortable and dry all night long with silk mattress.

​There are a number of beneficial side effects on silk’s incredible wicking ability. One such side effect is that silk bedding prevents you from overheating at night. This benefit is particularly valuable if you suffer from hot flashes. To discover how silk is able to prevent overheating and reduce hot flashes.
When you sleep on Serenelife’s mattress with silk fabrics and Silk fibres almost all of your body heat becomes trapped under the covers with you. As your body continues to produce heat throughout the night, your bed becomes warmer and warmer. Eventually, you start to sweat.
Instead of evaporating and cooling you down like it’s supposed to, the water from your sweat is also trapped under your covers. This extra water reflects even more of your body heat back to you. As this cycle continues, your bed becomes hotter and hotter until you eventually overheat.
In contrast, mulberry silk is surprisingly breathable and efficiently wicks your sweat away when you become too hot. As the extra water is wicked away, your body cools down because it can feel the sweat evaporating off your skin. Additionally, there’s isn’t any extra water or humidity in your bed to worsen extreme temperatures. As a result, your body is able to regulate its temperature naturally and you never overheat when you sleep under mulberry silk.

Another byproduct of silk’s wicking ability is that it discourages bacteria and fungi from growing in your bed. How does wicking the extra water away prevent these microbes from making your bed their home?
Well, like all living things, bacteria and fungi need water to survive. Without it, they can’t grow and multiply. Since there is less water for them to use, they can’t spread as quickly. Less water equals fewer microbes– it’s as simple as that.

Microbes aren’t the only things that silk prevents from living in your bed; it also stops dust mites in their tracks. Dust mites, just like bacteria and fungi, need water to survive. Since dust mites are a primary trigger for allergies, preventing them from invading your bed is a significant step in reducing your allergies.
Another reason why mulberry silk reduces your allergies is it is 100%, meaning it is never treated with harsh chemicals. The silk threads are incredibly soft on their own so they don’t need to undergo the harsh treatment most synthetic fabrics endure.
This means that pesticides and other dangerous chemicals never have the opportunity to contaminate your bed. When you sleep under mulberry silk you don’t have to worry about inhaling toxins with every breath you take.

Mulberry silk doesn’t just reduce your allergies; it also helps you to have clearer skin. It improves your complexion for two reasons that we’ve already stated. First, it reduces bacteria and second, it is free of chemicals.
Studies have shown that silk have 18 amino acids which are completely beneficial for our skin health. In summary, mulberry silk keeps your skin dry, prevents you from overheating, discourages microbial growth, reduces your allergies, and improves your complexion.
