Selecting the Right Weight/Warmth
The choice between an All Season and a Summer silk quilt depends on your personal comfort preferences, sleeping habits and the climate in your area.
The Difference Between TENCEL and Cotton
-
Quilts with a TENCEL Cover
Well-known for its silky soft feel and moisture-wicking qualities, TENCEL is ten times more resistant to bacterial growth (thanks to its antibacterial properties), making our silk quilts with a TENCEL cover an ideal option for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
Compared to cotton, fewer chemicals are used in TENCEL production, making it more environmentally friendly.
We only use genuine TENCEL, manufactured by Lenzing (Austria), its inventor.
-
Quilts with a Cotton Cover
Cotton absorbs less moisture than TENCEL, making these quilts a better choice for people with dry or normal skin.
The cotton cover has a hidden zipper closure and can be easily removed and washed and dried separately from the silk filling, making it easy to care for.
The 400 thread count cotton we use is noticeably thinner and smoother than the standard cotton used in linen and, most importantly, doesn't produce this annoying rustling noise during sleep.
Why Silk Quilts are Better

What Makes Our Silk Quilts Stand Out
We are a small, family-owned, and operated Australian business with low operational costs and a fair pricing model, allowing us to sell premium silk quilts at very affordable prices that are significantly cheaper than most comparable silk quilts on the market.
We never compromise on quality - our quilts are filled with 100% 6A Grade Mulberry silk, the world's finest and most expensive silk. With proper care, they will last for many years, longer than other quilts that may require more frequent replacement.
Our attention to detail is second to none - from the intricate quilting and piping to the beautiful, elegant packaging, reflecting our commitment to excellent craftsmanship.
And unlike faceless brands, we're real people passionate about what we do and always happy to help. If you have questions or need guidance, call us anytime at 1300 745 598.
What Our Customers Say About Our Silk Doonas
Among numerous feedbacks from our happy customers, we thought this one from Julie, who purchased our Winter Silk Quilt Bundle, worth being featured:
"I did sway back and forth with the idea of a silk quilt, wondering if these quilts would live up to the hype or be another epic Internet failure.
Firstly, I would like to state that we live in the coldest climate in Australia (Canberra), and our house temperature can drop to 16 degrees Celsius at night. This year has been particularly fierce, so I thought this would be a good test of the quilts' properties.
We both love the weight of the quilt, which gives us a sense of comfort. The cotton cover is luxuriously soft and is not noisy when turning over. Overall, we are greatly amazed that the silk quilt is more than meeting our expectations and would not hesitate to recommend it."
Who Is a Silk Quilt Best For?
Upgrading to a silk quilt isn't just about adding luxury - for people who struggle with night sweats or allergies, or partners with different body temperatures, a Mulberry silk quilt could make all the difference.
People with Fluctuating Body Temperatures
Silk quilts work like a natural thermostat. They help regulate body temperature by adapting to the environment - so you stay comfortably warm in winter and cool in summer without waking up from overheating or chills.
Hot Sleepers and Women Experiencing Menopause
Night sweats and hot flashes can disrupt even the best sleep routines. A silk doona offers excellent moisture control and breathability, helping adjust your temperature and keeping you cool and dry throughout the night.
People with Allergies or Sensitive Skin
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and common allergens. A silk quilt creates a cleaner, healthier sleep environment - especially beneficial for people prone to breakouts, skin irritation, or sensitivities to synthetic or heavy materials.
Couples with Different Sleep Preferences
Sharing a bed doesn't have to mean compromising on comfort. If one of you sleeps hot and the other runs cold, a silk quilt helps bridge the gap. Its natural temperature-regulating properties create a more balanced, restful sleep for both partners — fewer disturbances, better moods, and even more romance.

There are cheaper silk quilts on the Australian market, but they are, most likely, filled with low-quality silk.

Introducing The Lightest Silk Quilt in Australia
Designed in 2023 by Silky U specifically for hot sleepers, our summer quilts with a TENCEL cover are the lightest silk quilts on the Australian market - a Queen-size quilt weighs less than 2 kg.
Based on the feedback we receive from our customers, these quilts are also the ideal choice for women going through menopausal or post-menopausal transition.
They reduce night sweats and overheating (and ease hot flashes), so you sleep peacefully without feeling too hot, no matter the temperature.
How to insert your silk quilt into a cover
- Unzip the quilt cover, turn it inside out and place it on the bed.
- Put the summer silk quilt on top of the cover and tie the strings to the quilt loops (4 in the corners and 4 on the sides).
- Roll up the quilt together with the cover from top to bottom.
- Pull the corners through from the inside so the bottom of the quilt is now inside the cover and roll it back out.
- Zip it up and - VOILÀ - you're all set!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a quilt, a doona and a duvet?
Technically, "quilt", "duvet", and "doona" are different terms that describe the same bedding item.
"Quilt" and "doona" are most commonly used in Australia, while "duvet" is a European term. In The United States, people often refer to "quilts" as "comforters".
2. Are silk quilts any good?
Yes, silk quilts are an excellent bedding choice due to their hypoallergenic properties, lightweight, and softness.
They also provide superior temperature regulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
3. What is the best silk for a quilt?
Mulberry silk is considered the best for a quilt due to its high quality and durability.
Produced by silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, Mulberry silk is known for its softness, strength, and natural sheen.
4. Are Mulberry silk quilts worth it?
Absolutely! Mulberry silk quilts are worth the investment due to their high quality, hypoallergenic properties, and temperature regulation.
They are also long-lasting and provide excellent comfort and softness.
5. Can you wash a silk quilt?
Yes, you can wash silk quilts.
For the quilts with TENCEL covers, we recommend using a gentle pH-neutral liquid detergent and cold water to prevent damage to the silk fibres.
For the quilts with cotton covers: the cover should be removed and washed separately as standard cotton bed linen. We don't recommend washing the silk filling. Dry clean (no trichloroethylene!) it instead.
It is also essential to follow our silk bedding care instructions.
6. How often should you wash a silk doona?
We recommend washing a silk doona every 6-12 months, depending on the usage and other factors, such as humidity and dust.
7. Do you put a quilt cover on a silk quilt?
Yes, we recommend using a quilt cover on a silk quilt to protect it from dirt and dust and to provide an extra layer of warmth and comfort.
9. What is the best way to store a silk quilt?
The best way to store a silk quilt is to fold it neatly and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
10. Can the silk filling inside the quilt cover move about?
No, it can not.
The cover has 8 loops (4 in the corners and 4 in the middle of each side), and the silk filling has 8 strings tied with the cover's loops, so it's fixed firmly within the cover.
11. What is GSM?
GSM stands for "grams per square meter" and is a measurement of the weight and density of the silk filling in a quilt.
For silk quilts, GSM indicates how much silk is used per square meter, which can affect the warmth and feel of the quilt.
A higher GSM typically means a thicker and warmer quilt, while a lower GSM is lighter and more suitable for warmer climates or summer use.
