r/Bedding on Reddit: Struggling to choose silk duvet insert - specs listed below
September 8, 2024 -

So for some context I am a women who starts off pretty cold most nights and falls asleep under a few blankets (both cotton and polyester, the latter of which I’m trying to move away from) and I wake up under no blankets or one blanket, or on one occasion an entirely different blanket.

I’ve got my mattress sorted to my liking finally but now I’m looking at bedding. I’ve been looking at wool for some time but I’m worried it’d be more of a hassle than anything. That and I don’t want to spend money on a quality blanket that will give me the same issues listed about.

So, silk. I live in the southeastern US, not as far south as one COULD go but it still gets horribly humid here, we had a few weeks of triple digits this summer and those weeks it didn’t get lower than 75 at night; winters can range from mild to shocking drops in temperatures for a week or two at a time. I keep my house 73 at night during the summer because any higher and I wake up sticky and 66-68 in the winter while running a heater in my bedroom.

I’d like something I can use year round ideally, with a duvet cover of probably cotton because buying the duvet would be expensive. As for price, let’s just say I’ve been seriously considering Amazon brands? I really really would not like to go over 300- but if it’s something I could definitely use year round, really get my moneys worth I’d seriously consider going up to 500. I don’t make a lot of money but I do believe in investing when I can.

Any recommendations on the brand/weight/etc? Google has proved frustrating in this regard.

Thanks in advance!

Silk insert recommendations
Sure! What temp do you keep your room at generally? Does your room temps fluctuate with the seasons (open windows, no a/c or heater for certain days when the temps outside are beautiful, etc)? What is the size of your duvet (dimensions)? Is there any specific material you want the silk insert's outershell to be---cotton, silk or bamboo? Silk-on-silk is only preferable if you have really bad allergies, imo, so the extra expense should only be undertaken by the extremely wealthy (that has money like that to burn) or those that suffer bad allergies and need it to have a decent night's sleep. Silk is amazing for hot sleepers and is pretty much the only material that keeps you cool first before insulating you second. Other materials like wool or down are great insulators (if you have cold room temps or are a cold sleeper) but you definitely should stay away from them with a ten-foot-pole if you are a hot sleeper. Most claim that down or wool 'regulates' your temps, but, imo, that's only because they keep their rooms at icebox temps and/or aren't hot sleepers. I've yet to sleep under a down or wool comforter/insert in 76F room temps and not start sweating buckets (both of them were 'summer' weight ones, fyi). With a silk insert, 76F keeps you mostly cool with a bit of an uncomfortable feeling of warmness starting up, sort of like a warning that any higher than 76F and you'll start to sweat; no other insert materials can get up to that temp without you starting to sweat in bed. I've come to find that silk inserts are amazing for saving money in the summer since usually I had to crank up the AC in summer to 70F to not wake up sweating with my old bedding setup; now I can have it at 74-76F and not wake up sweating (while saving money, yay!). Let me know and I'll help guide you on what you should get :) More on reddit.com

Suggestions for a silk filled duvet
Most silk insert brands will be pretty similar on how they help keep you mostly cool during the night (like Elle Silk, Mommesilk, LilySilk, THXSilk, Daniadown, Ocochi, etc) but only have some variations in the outershell or how much silk fill is in it. Personally, if you're getting a summer weight the grade of the silk doesn't really matter much since ALL summer weight silk inserts will be boxstitched together, thus negating a lot of the reasons for having long-strand silk floss in the first place, so keep that in mind when you shop. I know that THXSilk has less silk fill in their silk inserts compared to most brands, so if you sleep much hotter than most or your room temps are particularly high then it definitely helps to keep track of how much silk fill is in each brand's summer weight versions and go from there. Depending on how much silk fill you want (less for more cooling properties, more for more heat retention) or what type of outershell material you want they'll all pretty much be similar enough to where it won't matter much in the long-run, imo. THXSilk I think has the nicest outershells that are cotton (6A and 7A versions respectively), though I want to be clear: all of the brands I listed will be pretty great quality overall and you'll be nitpicking most brands against one another. I love my all-season silk insert because it's pretty heavy and it was cheap as hell for what it does (which is keep me mostly cool at night in temps of up to 74F), but if you don't have AC and you live in a hotter part of the world I would definitely just go with a summer weight silk insert that has a lower thread count for its outershell and less silk fill to ensure you get the best breathability. Personally, I wish most silk insert brands used linen outershells but they're too expensive for most and I suppose most wouldn't like the rougher texture if they're not using it inside of a duvet cover, so... sigh we'll likely never have one unless it's a handmade one from Etsy :( If you have any more questions feel free to ask :) More on reddit.com

r/Bedding on Reddit: Silk insert recommendations
November 9, 2022 -

I've done some research on silk inserts, which I didn't even know were a thing until I learned about it on this subreddit (Thanks!!), and wanted to see if there were recommendations on which one to buy. The options available are pretty overwhelming, so I was hoping to narrow it down to a few based on other hot sleepers' experience. Don't have a max budget in mind but willing to shell out a little extra if it means a better night of sleep!
