The thin sheets of mulberry silk are carefully stretched from end to end in a handcrafted process and are fixed to the cotton cover with small lozenges to achieve greater stability, avoiding displacements, and at the same time, allowing the interior circulation of air.
These fillings are a jewel of oriental culture. The mulberry silk thread comes from silkworms that feed on mulberry leaves. The mulberry fiber is stretched to form the silk filling with long silk threads. Here you can see the process in a small village in the Canary Islands.

Hypoallergenic and anti-dust mite: It does not harm sensitive, dry or irritable skin.
Due to its properties, silk is naturally resistant to mites and bacteria, does not produce odors and does not absorb dust.
It breathes naturally: Silk absorbs and transfers excess heat and humidity and therefore maintains a comfortable sleeping environment.
The composition of silk yarns allows moisture to be expelled to the outside, thus avoiding the generation of mold and odors.
Regulates temperature: Silk is a natural temperature regulator and maintains body temperature throughout the night. When it is cold, due to the air between the silk threads, the heat is kept inside so it has that insulating effect.
Maximum comfort: Silk is the finest, most flexible and lightest natural fiber. This means that it does not exert any pressure point on us, so that, unlike traditional bedding, much heavier, facilitates movement and increases the natural rest of the body. It also adapts to the shape of the body and does not leave uncovered areas.
Suitable for people with respiratory disorders: They do not release particles and substances that can affect the respiratory tract.
Recently a study conducted by researchers at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, and published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, has led the media to raise the alarm about the fact that exposure to natural feather comforters or pillows may be related to the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in this sense silk is a high quality alternative.
Light and relaxing: Due to its natural components, silk provides a pleasant sensation of softness and tenderness which produces a relaxing effect for the nervous system and a pleasant and regenerating rest during the night.
Stable, resistant and durable: It does not deform or make lumps, keeping the surface smooth and little bulky. Silk is naturally strong, resilient and elastic. In silk quilts that have been well crafted, such as ours, there is no clumping or cold spots. This is because the silk has been stretched and distributed by hand in thin layers of long fibers in one piece which avoids shifting.

Our linens are made from lenzo, from European harvests, chosen from their places of cultivation and processing to maintain the origin and roots of one of the most natural fabrics in the world.
To make our pieces, we buy linen previously washed in large drums, which beat the fiber to achieve maximum softness, and natural substances are added that advance the softening process. Therefore, it does not shrink or wrinkle.
Linen is a sustainable, ecological and recyclable fabric. Antibacterial and hygroscopic.
