THE REVIEWS: “I loved my down comforter, but I sleep hot, and I had to stop using it,” a reviewer writes. “This silk duvet is perfect! It has a super soft and luxurious feel and doesn’t get hot. I couldn’t be happier. Buy this comforter, and you won’t regret it.”

Hi. This is your sign (ahem, it’s me, kindly urging you) to buy into the recycled silk hype. Recycled silk is created by reusing silk waste, like cocoon remnants or discarded clothing and fabrics, to achieve the same lightweight luxury that virgin silk offers but, like, in a way more sustainable way. This duvet insert is filled with recycled Mulberry silk encased in a 400-thread-count organic cotton cover that’s ideal for spring, summer, and fall.

• Material: Recycled Mulberry silk, GOTS-certified, 400-single-ply sateen weave cotton cover
• Sizes: Full/Queen, King/California King
• Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang to dry

MY REVIEW: “If you’re looking for a sustainable bedding option that also, y’know, actually works, this is it. Not only do you get the luxury of silk filling without the usage of any virgin fibers, you also have the peace of mind of knowing that the company is Climate Neutral Certified so all of their carbon emissions are being offset.”

Good news—silk is naturally soft and hypoallergenic! It repels unwanted bed bugs, fungus, and other nasty things so you can breathe easy and know that this comforter is good for both your lungs and your sensitive skin. On top of that, the silk filling is encased in a 100% cotton shell that 1. is also hypoallergenic and 2. will keep out any pet dander, dust mites, or other allergens that normally try to settle into your bedding.

• Material: Cotton and Tussah silk
• Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King
• Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang to dry.

THE REVIEWS: “I’ve been living with hot flashes for years. Sleeping during the colder months has been a challenge between being comfortable and waking up in a wet sweaty mess. This is the first and only comforter I’ve been able to use year round with no issues,” one customer writes. “It’s extremely lightweight and somewhat thin which can be deceiving. It’s light enough not to smother but with just enough weight to make me feel snug. Between this and my linen sheets I no longer wake up uncomfortable. Truly the best bedding purchase I’ve ever made. This is heirloom quality if you take good care of it.”

I mean, the brand name says it all! You’ll want to cuddle up in this silk beauty ASAP. It has an oh-so-soft cotton cover filled with 100 percent long-strand silk that has been hand-pulled using traditional Chinese techniques. And thanks to its natural moisture-wicking properties, this cozy gem will help you maintain a stable body temperature throughout the night (aka, no more night sweats!).

• Material: 100% long-strand silk filling
• Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king, California king
  
• Care: Spot clean.
  

THE REVIEWS: “When you get this in the mail, you may be disappointed by how small or not thick it is—but that’s the thing, silk is super warm without being bulky or filled with air like down feathers,” a review reads. “This ain’t your big fluffy giant duvet. This is perfect if you’re a warm or cold sleeper. I can’t speak for the extremes, but I think it’s perfect!”

Keep your wallet happy with this affordable find. The most expensive option for this gem is only $150 (!!). Also, since it is a summer comforter, you can bet it’ll be super lightweight, making it an excellent option for all my sweaty sleepers.

• Material: 100% mulberry silk
• Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king
  
• Care: Spot clean.
  

THE REVIEWS: “This comforter is so soft and lightweight but warm and cool at the same time. We ended up purchasing them for the whole family,” reads a review. “A king size, a queen size, and a two twin size for our kids. One is great for spring, summer, and fall (we’re in Texas), and we may buy additional to double up the layer for the winter.”

There’s scientific proof that this luxe gem will wick away moisture, and I know this is clutch info for anybody who deals with night sweats. Bonus perk: It’s reversible!

• Material:100% cotton shell and 100% natural silk fill
• Sizes: Twin, full/double, queen, king/California king
  
• Care: Tumble dry.
  

THE REVIEWS: “Lightweight, but warm during the winter and cool during the summer,” a reviewer writes. “It’s easy to wash too! Does not bunch up like other down alternative options out there.”

If you’re looking for extra-cooling silk sheets, consider this option from Momme Silk. It is super light and made with 100 percent grade 6A silk to ensure a cozy night while keeping your body temp regulated.

• Material: 100% long-strand silk filling
• Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king, California king

THE REVIEWS: “I was looking for a lightweight comforter that would keep me comfortable through the summer months,” one reviewer writes. “This one is perfect, it’s the right weight and warmth, and it’s all-natural. I would buy one for the guest bedroom too. However, the biggest challenge was to find a fitting duvet cover.”

This gem from THX Silk is made with double cocoon silk which is much more durable and stronger than single cocoon silk. Instead of one single silkworm, it’s made by two silkworms, which makes the overall quality of the comforter long-lasting.

• Material: 100% double cocoon mulberry silk
• Sizes: Twin, queen, king
• Care: Spot clean.

MY REVIEW: Finding top-quality 7A-grade silk at this price is unheard of. It comes in three different weights, so you can find the level of warmth that works best for you and your bed.

Do you struggle with overheating at night, tossing and turning under your covers, and always feeling ~slightly damp~ from sweat? Do you suspect that your dusty bedding is the reason you wake up coughing and sneezing? Is bedhead a perpetual problem that you’re always trying to fix each morning?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, a silk comforter just might be a worthy investment for you. Silk is highly breathable and a natural thermal regulator so it’ll help you maintain your body temperature all night long. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic, meaning that it’s allergy- and asthma-friendly, and absorbs less moisture from skin and hair overnight so you wake up with better hair and less skin irritation.

Blink away those visions of jaw-dropping, four-figure prices! Silk comforters are more affordable than you might think. Most of the options on this list hover around $200-$300, with a couple splurge options that are more like $400-$450 and some affordable silk comforters that still perform really well for just $99. There are options for every budget here, okay?!

Find the right type of silk

The two types of silk that you’ll most commonly find when shopping for silk comforters are Tussah silk and Mulberry silk. What’s the difference? Tussah silk is a more raw, wild silk that’s slightly more textured. It’s often cheaper than Mulberry silk, which is harvested from silkworms that are fed a diet that consists exclusively of Mulberry leaves. The good news is that both are light, airy, and soft, so it’s really a matter of personal preference.

Determine if you want silk filling, a silk cover, or both

A silk-filled comforter is soft, light, hypoallergenic, and temperature-regulating, which is ideal for anyone who deals with night sweats or hot flashes. All great things! But silk-filled duvets are usually encased in cotton, so if you want to add skincare and hair benefits on top of all of those things, you’ll want a silk comforter cover as well. The low-friction fabric won’t irritate acne-prone or eczema-prone skin, and it’ll also reduce hair breakage and tangles.

Keep an eye on the care tag

While many silk comforters can be washed on a gentle, cold cycle in a washing machine, some are dry-clean only. So before you invest, don’t forget to double-check how your comforter will need to be washed—especially if your laundry budget doesn’t account for regular dry-cleaning bills.
