The silk duvet from Cocoon Company

The silk fiber has a hollow structure, which makes it possible to transport moisture away from your body. This gives the duvet fantastic breathability and gives you a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.

A silk duvet is a thin duvet. It immediately seems more like a summer duvet, but you can easily use it all year round. Its temperature-regulating properties will ensure that your body is always at the right temperature.

This silk duvet is a baby duvet

It measures 70 x 100 cm.

Cocoons silk duvet is made of 100% Peace Silk and 100% organic cotton.

Peace Silk silk duvet - how it is produced

It was incredibly surprising to us, but true nonetheless.

Silk is made from the pupa of the silkworm. Normally, the silkworm will pupate and transform into a silk butterfly within two weeks. But silkworms rarely make it this far in traditional silk production. They are boiled alive to preserve the pupa whole, so that the silk fiber is as long as possible. And it is a relentless process.

In the production of Peace Silk, the larvae are first and foremost given no growth hormones, but are fed exclusively with organic mulberry leaves. They therefore do not get nearly as big as conventional silkworms and pupae.

When the silkworm finally hatches as summer moisture, it will move out to find a mate in the wild again.

By purchasing a Peace Silk duvet, you have actually spared approx. 6,500 silk butterflies from dying.

Maintenance of your silk duvet

If there has been an accident that requires washing, we would recommend that you clean it by rinsing it under the shower, in the bathtub or sending it to be cleaned.

For ongoing maintenance, we would recommend this odor remover with probiotic bacteria. It removes odor and possibly bacteria that are on the outside of the duvet.

House dust mites and mold cannot live in the silk, so you are free of maintenance.

The silk duvet is produced in India under proper conditions for both people, the environment and the larvae.

The packaging is just a ribbon in organic cotton that is tied around the duvet.

A firm side and a soft side
Side 1 has a core of organic coir and is the firm side. It gives a firm, supportive surface with plenty of airflow, as recommended for the early months. Side 2 has a core of perforated natural latex and is softer and more yielding, giving a good balance of support and comfort once your child is bigger. Simply turn the mattress over when your child is ready for the softer side.

Coir that springs and breathes
The coir fibres come from coconut production. They are washed, softened and then twisted into ropes that shape the fibres into small springs. Because the fibres are large and coarse, the layer is full of air channels running through it, so air can circulate and heat and moisture can escape from the body.

Natural latex from the rubber tree
Natural latex is the sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The sap is tapped from the tree and processed into an elastic foam that gives under the pressure of the body and moulds to it. In the mattress core, this provides soft yet supportive comfort, and the open structure of the foam lets air pass through.

GOLS certified
The latex in the core is certified to GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard). The certification requires at least 95% of the latex to be organic, and it covers the whole journey from plantation to finished latex core.

Wool with natural lanolin
The core is surrounded by untreated organic wool from New Zealand. The air-filled wool fibres insulate beneath your child, and the lanolin in the wool helps carry excess heat and moisture away. The mattress is handmade from start to finish in Sri Lanka.

Size
The mattress measures 60x120 cm.

Care
Air the mattress regularly, and consider using a washable waterproof protector so the mattress stays in good condition for longer.
