Im considering a silk duvet and cotton duvet cover as the setup to my new bed (Edit: A duvet with silk fill, just to be clear). So far looking on Amazon I am seeing a couple that look to be a really good deal. They are expensive enough to where I dont immediately think they have to be fake, but neither are brands there seems to be much information on.
Since Silk All Season Comforter for $89
YOUR MOON Lightweight Mulberry Silk Comforter for $86.
Best explanation is maybe they just dont have very much filling? The YOUR MOON doesnt say anywhere how much filling there is, while the Since Silk says there is 1.97lbs. I actually found another Silk duvet from YOUR MOON while typing this out that says it has 3.5lbs of filling for $120, so their other one not even saying how much is in there doesnt inspire confidence.
So what Im wondering is should I just be avoiding these lesser known brands and paying for more reputable ones? I usually try to buy things from as cheap a source as possible. Also is there any way to know what weight I should be aiming for? I dont sleep hot or cold and am just looking for something that I can use all year around. Also dont use a top cover or anything like that, just a comforter is it.

Hi! I've been perusing the threads here for a while, and have seen a lot of similar topics but not -quite- what I'm after, so I figured I would throw this out there!
I'm currently looking for a new duvet insert + cover, after using a college-budget cheap comforter forever. I would classify myself as a...hot-cold sleeper? I sweat easily at night due to medication related side effects, but am usually cold while awake (also thyroid side effects, yay), and I also sleep much better with weight on me. So I'm always in search of the Goldilocks of breathable (sweating), warm enough (to fall asleep with), and heavy as possible.
My current setup is: queen sized bed, linen sheets + pillows, cheap comforter, and a knit weighted blanket. Sleep with my partner, who hogs the comforter a bit, but I'm pretty sure the one we have is a twin so queen or king should fix that.
What I've been looking at: linen, cotton , and silk duvet inserts, leaning toward silk since I've seen it recommended the most for hot sleepers, with linen or cotton duvet covers (leaning toward linen for breathability + heaviness, and I love the feel of my linen sheets). I've been eyeing the Mommesilk all-seasons inserts (Queen, contemplating King too, but I think it might be too large?) since I've seen them recommended a lot here, but as has been noted elsewhere, their sizes are a little...weird, and hard to find matching/slightly smaller linen covers for.
So I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for:
any silk inserts besides the Mommesilk one
any covers (preferably linen) that fit the Mommesilk or other silk inserts well.
Money is not really an issue, because I'm a chronic insomniac who will pay almost anything to sleep better (and have lots of disposable income) but I also don't want to frivolously throw around money if the quality isn't worth it.
Thank you!
Hi there, after seeing a few threads from u/SorcererLeotard I am interested in a silk filled duvet. I'm in the process of upgrading most of my bedding, so this seems like the most worthwhile upgrade. So here I am, seeking the wisdom from the Sorcerer of the threads.
I tend to sleep pretty hot as I don't have AC, but in general I like to be warm (o the irony) although I do sweat quite a bit. I'm looking into a Summer duvet for coolness or an all-season for balance, although I do really like the weight of my current duvet (7 lbs).
Any brand recommendations or things to look into? Budget is pretty flexible, so I'm looking into high-end and mid-high. Some that have caught my eye (from other threads) are:
Elle Silk
Lily Silk
ThxSilk
Ocochi (although I'm not sure about the bamboo lyocell)
I will probs pair it with a percale Sferra duvet cover, but I haven't looked much into this yet.
Thanks!
