Quality silk filled comforter uses 100% Mulberry raw silk, hand stretched to its desired size, layered to its desired thickness to fit different environmental temperatures. Therefore, most commercial sites sell silk filled comforters using seasonal labels such as comforters for summer, spring/fall, winter, etc. Thus, sometime it can be confusing to decide which season one should buy besides deciding from the usual denominators such as sizes, cotton or silk shell, etc.

  There are two factors may influence ones decision about which season of silk comforter to buy. First are the fact each season of the silk comforter is made and its price. Second is the sleeping environment where you plan to use the silk filled comforter in.

  As previously mentioned, the raw silk is hand stretched to size then layered. The more layers it is, the thicker it will be. When the weight of silk increases, so as the price. More layers mean more retention of heat. During summer, environmental temperature is usually high, most people needs heat disbursement more than heat retention during sleep (this is another benefit of silk, which a lot of you already know). You can then understand, if a site sells silk comforter for Summer, that Summer silk comforter must be thin, light weight, and price less than Winter or Fall silk comforters. For example, two pounds raw Mulberry silk can stretch to 102” x 92” size comforter big enough to cover and drape a King size bed. 

  Some people like to keep indoor living temperature constant says between 70 to 72 degree Fahrenheit (F). So they would run the Air Conditioning during summer and the heater during winter. If you are like this, you only need one type of comforter year round. Most silk filled comforters for summer are suitable for room temperature between 65 - 85 F. But if you tend to be cold and like to be warmer during the night, a silk filled comforter for Spring/Fall is also a good idea. Most silk filled comforters for Spring/Fall are suitable for room temperature between 45 - 75 F. 

  Some people like to keep indoor living temperature same as the outdoor temperature. This may be because the geographic region does not have much seasonal variance or it’s just a personal decision. If you are in this category, you need different comforters for different room temperatures to maximize your sleep quality. Choose silk filled comforters for summer or Spring/Fall using temperature range mentioned above. If room temperature falls to 38 - 55 F, you may want to choose silk filled comforters for winter. Choose silk filled comforters for Harsh Winter if room temperature is between 32 - 45 F. Since most of people use duvet cover to protect their silk filled comforters, you can also put your summer and Spring/Fall comforters in one duvet cover to make your own winter comforter. This is a cost and space saving strategy.
