T.Silk silk padding – 100% silk wadding

There are currently different types of wadding and filling available on the market, each of which, beyond the marketing campaigns that support them, are characterized by specific functional elements of structure or price with advantages, differences and limits. We can distinguish padding mainly based on the nature of the fibres that constitute them and therefore in two large families, natural padding and synthetic padding:

Natural padding

• Natural fibres – Wool
• Natural fibres – cotton
• Other natural fibres – Cashmere, Hemp, Kapok

Goose down and feather padding

Synthetic padding

• Polyester
• Polyurethane foams
• 3D coated or coupled padded fabrics

We can also differentiate padding based on the way in which they can be inserted inside a padded product:

Free fibre padding – The padding made up of free and non-cohesive elements is inserted inside the padded product. Typical of natural feathers or synthetic feathers
Quilted padding – The padding is made up of cohesive continuous panels or modules which are fixed to the external fabrics through quilting
Laminated padding – The padding is applied through heat processing with the aid of resins or synthetic adhesives to obtain very light garments

Construction methods and type of fiber define the characteristics of a padding which must be adapted to characterize the padded product inside which it will be used, whether these are padded clothing, double duvets or padded toppers, accessories, padded and quilted technical jackets.

The comparison between silk padding, goose down padding and synthetic padding shown below highlights the relevant qualitative differences based on a series of variables

The use of natural silk fibre from natural silk waste, studied and created by Cosetex, responds to the need to offer a fibre and a project capable, in the same product, of responding, in a balanced and complete way, to a series of fundamental needs to which a wadding for clothing or a wadding for a double duvet or a wadding for pillows must be able to guarantee

The silk padding T.Silk is the best padding capable of guaranteeing high levels of comfort, through careful research that has obtained important recognition, culminating in an Italian and European patent and which has achieved the maximum balance between heat retention and breathability.

The comfort that a padded clothing or filling bedding product is able to offer depends on these two fundamental variables: The heat maintained and produced and the ability to allow the body to breathe.

The thermophysiological comfort coefficient is the numerical representation of this balance. T.Silk padding allows the body to obtain an optimal level of comfort in any environmental situation of climate and physical activity. In fact, silk padding is able to act as a perfect thermoregulator, absorbing the heat produced by the body in the form of water vapor, releasing it quickly to the outside and keeping trapped in the internal layers of the silk fiber only the amount necessary to balance the temperature.

This fundamental and unique feature completely prevents the padding from being the cause of drastic changes in internal temperatures and from creating that annoying vicious circle of high heat/sweating/excessive cooling, typical of poorly thermoregulating and breathable synthetic padding.

T.Silk padding also highlights a very fast drying time, the fastest, avoiding the stagnation of excess humidity and an ability to adhere to the body, enveloping it with unusual adaptability, making the sensation of lightness and impalpability even higher.

The T.Silk silk padding is the best padding that can guarantee protection and real attention to the environment. The Cosetex silk system allows us to support a production system, that of discontinuous silk fiber, capable, thanks to its agricultural component linked to the cultivation of the Mulberry tree, of reducing the presence of large quantities of CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and of increasing the presence of Oxygen for each kg. of fiber produced.

The silk wadding, in 100% silk, does not contain polluting plastic microfibers that are dangerous for health, it is composed of two natural proteins that during the life of the product and during disposal return to the environment without creating pollution, it allows the maintenance of crops that use limited natural resources, preserve the territory and encourage biodiversity. Silk padding is completely recyclable and reusable and a range of recycled padding in 100% Silk has been studied that involves the use of pre-consumer silk products and fabrics re-transformed into fibre without the use of chemical processes.

There are significant differences in terms of quality, production methods, raw materials of origin, levels of resources used and wasted, chemical elements used and releasable, level of pollution between the various types of padding. A comparison between synthetic fibres and silk fibre unequivocally highlights the enormous differences in quality and environmental impact and pollution problems

Environmental protection of T.Silk padding

Silk Vs CO2

T.Silk silk padding is the best padding to protect our body by putting it in contact with substances and elements that are able to provide health, well-being and care.

We live 24 hours a day in contact with textile fibers that we use to dress and protect ourselves. We spend 1/3 of our life inside the bed.

T.Silk is the padding that respects the physiology of the body and is healing for the superficial layers of the skin and for the hair as it is made up of two natural proteins: Fibroin and Sericin.

These two proteins and the primary elements that compose them, the amino acids, are able to assist our metabolism in vital functions and in moments of cellular repair and regeneration. Fibroin is a fibrous protein like some proteins (Elastin, Keratin, Collagen) that make up our body and especially the superficial layers of the epidermis.

Applying the exclusive T.Silk padding inside the T.SILK COLLECTION bed pillow creates the best pillow to give meaning to the term care and health of the body and skin.ì  Combine the silk paddding pillow with the external silk pillowcase is the perfect solution
