Cocoon Peaceful Silk

SDU-070100


Cocoon Peaceful Silk baby duvet in size 70x100 cm is designed for parents who want the absolute best for their child in terms of comfort, health, and consideration. This unique duvet is made from 100% organic Mulberry Peace Silk a silk harvested without harming the silkworm, representing a unique and more considerate way of thinking about silk. Cocoon Company was the first in the world to develop this humane production method.

The hollow and long structure of the silk fibers gives the duvet excellent temperature-regulating properties, ensuring the baby is neither too hot nor too cold all year round. It is also extremely breathable and wicks moisture away from the body, creating a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.

Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, and they do not thrive in the environment created by the silk fiber. At the same time, silk is a very strong and long fiber that does not break and dust unlike down and synthetic materials. This makes the duvet an ideal choice for parents who want a cleaner and quieter sleeping environment for their child.

Despite its light and thin appearance, the duvet is a genuine all-year duvet that adapts to the child's body and temperature. It is particularly popular as a summer duvet and for use in the pram on warm days. In winter, it can also be used indoors if the home has a stable and average high temperature. In the pram on cold days, it is recommended that the child is well wrapped and here a wool duvet might be a better choice.

The duvet is particularly suitable for very young children, as it is thin, breathable, and relatively heavy in relation to its volume. This balance gives many babies a calm and secure sleep.

(The duvet cannot be machine washed but must be hand washed or dry cleaned read more under "Washing and Maintenance").

Who is the silk duvet good for?


Cocoon Peaceful Silk baby duvet is suitable for infants and toddlers who need a light and breathable duvet that helps keep the body dry and the temperature stable.

The duvet is especially good for children who are sensitive to dust and dust mites, as the silk fiber is naturally dust-repellent and creates an environment where dust mites do not thrive. Unlike down and synthetic materials, silk does not break and therefore dusts minimally. At the same time, the duvet is more breathable than any other type of filling, providing a constantly dry and comfortable sleep both day and night.

The duvet functions as an all-year duvet, but its light and airy character makes it particularly popular in the summer months and as a pram duvet. It can certainly be used indoors in winter if the room temperature is stable and on the warm side. If used outdoors in the cold, the child should be well wrapped, or a thicker wool duvet might be considered for the cold months.

Why choose our silk duvet?

At Cocoon Company, we don't do things halfway. We have created the world's first humane silk duvet series and we are still the only ones doing it this way. Our duvets are made from 100% organic Mulberry Peace Silk, where every cocoon is allowed to develop into a butterfly just as nature intended.

Unlike conventional silk production, where millions of silkworms are boiled alive, we choose a different path. A path where ethics and consideration go hand in hand with comfort and quality.

Our silk is not chemically treated or mixed with lower quality or synthetic fibers. It is not chlorine bleached, and our duvet covers are sewn from GOTS-certified organic cotton. Every single component is chosen with care.

There are many silk duvets on the market but few dare to tell how their silk is produced. We dare, and we stand by it. For us, it's not just about luxury it's about responsibility. And when it comes to your baby, you need to trust that every choice is made with the heart.

Silk Pillow with Kapok 60x63

Cocoon Peaceful Silk

SKP-060063


A silk pillow is ideal for those who want a hypoallergenic pillow with fantastic breathability and excellent temperature-regulating properties. The hollow structure of the silk fiber is what gives silk its unique absorption ability, allowing moisture to be more easily transported through the fiber. The hollow structure enables the silk fiber to quickly respond to changing temperatures in the sleeping environment, creating a thermoregulating effect around the body. This means that whether you tend to feel cold or too warm, a silk pillow will always adapt to your body's needs. This provides the pillow with fantastic breathability and ensures a dry and comfortable sleeping environment throughout the night.

Since dust mites and mold do not thrive in these environments, silk duvets are often recommended for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Silk pillows are usually very thin head pillows, as the silk fibers are incredibly thin and lie very close together in the carding. Therefore, we have added organic kapok fiber to the pillow, which provides more volume without compromising the fantastic properties of the silk fiber. The kapok fiber is itself excellent for temperature regulation and is naturally hypoallergenic, as dust mites and mold cannot live in the fiber.

THE CONVENTIONAL SILK INDUSTRY

The sad truth is unfortunately that most of us either do not wish to understand or do not care about how conventional silk is produced. The result is that hundreds of millions, maybe even billions of silkworms are killed each year before they can become a silk moth. All because we as consumers demand products made with silk, without thinking more about the consequences.

It takes about ten days for a silkworm to hatch from its egg. The silkworm will then begin to eat continuously for about a month until it has reached its optimal weight, approximately 10,000 times heavier than when it hatched. Depending on the species of silkworm, the larvae will eat different types of leaves. Silkworms of the Bombyx Mori species eat mulberry leaves, and their silk is therefore known as Mulberry silk. When the silkworm is fully grown, it will begin to spin a shell of silk, also called a cocoon. This can take between three and eight days.

To maximize yield, in some cases, in conventional production, silkworms are given a growth hormone called Methoprene, which causes the larva to spin silk for a longer time. A cocoon produces about 500 meters of silk thread, so extending the spinning time can potentially make a big difference to the yield. Inside the protective silk cocoon, the larva then enters the pupal stage, forming a hard shell around itself. 

Normally, a silkworm would remain pupated for about two weeks before it would finally eat its way through the cocoon and emerge as a silk moth. It would then be busy finding a mate and reproducing, as it only lives about a week after hatching. Unfortunately, the silkworms never get that far. In conventional silk production, the silk cocoons are boiled with the pupated larvae inside as soon as the silkworms have pupated.
This is done to keep the silk cocoons intact, as the silk moth's emergence from the cocoon would shorten the silk fiber and complicate the further process. This is partly because longer silk threads produce nicer silk fabrics. The value of a long silk thread is therefore higher than if the silk thread is bitten through by the silk moth during its escape from the cocoon. As a consequence, approximately 6,500 pupated silkworms are killed for every kilo of silk extracted.

THE HUMANE SILK

In response to conventional silk production, a more humane method of silk production was developed, with a strong focus on animal welfare. The method was called Ahimsa, originating from the classical cultural language Sanskrit, where it can be translated to "lack of desire to kill".

Ahimsa is an ethical principle that originates from Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, and involves the preservation of all living things on earth. Ahimsa therefore also means protecting the environment and natural habitats. The Ahimsa method not only places a strong focus on animal welfare but also on ecology and chemical-free production. As Ahimsa silk has become widespread, the silk has become known under the more international name Peace Silk.

The difference between conventional silk production and the extraction of Peace Silk is evident already at the hatching of silkworm eggs. Unlike the conventional method, silkworms are only fed mulberry leaves from organic mulberry trees. The larvae are not given growth hormones and will not grow as large as silkworms in conventional production. Peace Silk larvae will therefore not spin for as long as regular larvae, and the yield will thus also be smaller.
After the Peace Silk larvae have pupated, each silk cocoon is carefully cut open, and the silk pupae are placed among mulberry leaves, from where the silk moths can hatch. It takes about ten days from when the silkworm pupates until it hatches as a silk moth. The silk moths will then focus on finding a mate and reproducing before they return to the wild.
