Silk is a completely different type of material compared to traditional
duvet fillings and as a result is not measured by the traditional tog system.
Silk duvets are thin and are designed to allow air to flow more freely thus
regulating your body's heat. The result is your body stays cool during the hot
season and warm during wet season.
Silk duvets keep you comfortable over a wider range of
temperatures, unlike down or polyester which is fairly tog specific and because
it is naturally hypo-allergenic, it is an alternative for people who suffer
from allergies.

There are different types of silk used in silk sheets. These includes: Charmeuse , Tussah, and Habotai (often called China Silk). Charmeuse Silk and Habotai silk are produced from the mulberry silk worm. They differ in feel and luster with Charmeuse silk having a high luster and less friction, and Habotai silk having a sandy matte finish. Tussah silk is produced from wild silk worms and is generally considered to be of lower quality. Tussah Silk usually has visual impurities from the fabrics finish and will often have knots in the texture due to broken silk fibers.
