Each Gingerlily silk duvet cover is crafted from 100% long-strand mulberry silk, woven at a 19 momme weight. Light and breathable with a smooth handle and fluid drape, the fabric provides year-round comfort while bringing silk’s understated natural lustre to the bed.

Available in single, double, king, super king and European sizes, the collection is designed for beds of every proportion. Pure white and a refined palette of neutral plains sit alongside jacquard-woven and printed designs. Tailored Oxford borders, contrasting trims and layered silk accents give each design its own considered finish.

The Gingerlily Standard in Mulberry Silk Duvet Covers

For more than twenty years, Gingerlily has worked exclusively with 6A-grade silk, chosen for its length, strength and consistency – fine, uniform filaments that create fewer joins in the yarn and a more even lustre than a lower-grade silk can achieve.

These qualities take on a different character across each collection. Signature Plains allow the colour and luminosity of the silk to take centre stage, with shades including ivory, silver grey and vintage pink. Each can be carried across coordinating bed linen or paired with pattern for a more layered arrangement.

Classic Contemporary Designs bring greater definition through tailored borders, contrasting tones and woven detail. Printed Designs reveal another side of the fabric, using its smooth surface to reproduce fine illustrative detail, from the delicate botanicals of Lily of the Valley and Forget Me Not to the flowing botanical forms of Fern Vine.

Every Gingerlily silk duvet cover is woven from 6A-grade, long strand mulberry silk at a fabric weight of 19 momme. The Gingerlily standard extends beyond what can be seen and felt: independent testing is commissioned to assess the bed linen against relevant EU REACH and POP requirements, including screening for harmful chemicals and pesticides, with none detected in the products assessed.

FAQs

FAQs

Is a pure silk duvet cover worth buying?

Yes. A pure silk duvet cover can be a worthwhile investment if you value natural bed linen that will retain its handle and appearance over time. It also offers qualities beyond longevity: silk’s naturally smooth surface creates less friction than coarser fabrics, helping to minimise hair tangling, frizz and overnight sleep creases. It is also less absorbent than cotton, helping skin and hair retain more of their natural moisture, and is naturally hypoallergenic.

Are silk duvet covers good for hot sleepers?

Yes. A real silk duvet cover is well suited to hot sleepers because silk is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. Its fibres allow air and moisture vapour to circulate, helping excess warmth escape rather than becoming trapped around the body. This supports a more balanced sleeping temperature as body heat and room conditions change overnight.

The duvet beneath the cover will have the greatest influence on overall warmth. For a cooler combination, pair a Gingerlily silk duvet cover with a lightweight summer silk duvet, bringing the natural breathability of silk to both the cover and filling.

How do I properly care for my 100% silk duvet cover?

To keep your 100% silk duvet cover in pristine condition, gentle care is essential. Always wash your silk bedding with cool water, no hotter than 30°C, and use a mild detergent specially formulated for silk, such as our liquid silk washing detergent. Opt for a delicate machine cycle or hand wash to preserve the fabric’s integrity. 

After washing, allow your duvet cover to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight, which can fade and weaken the silk’s natural sheen. If necessary, using a light press with a cool iron will help restore its smooth, luxurious finish. When not in use, fold your silk bed cover carefully and store it in a cool, dry, shaded area. Avoid hanging, as this can cause the delicate silk fibres to stretch over time. 

With this mindful care routine, your mulberry silk duvet cover will maintain its softness, beauty, and durability over many years. For further information on how to care for your pure silk duvet cover, explore our detailed guide here.

Can I coordinate my silk duvet cover with other pieces?

Yes. Gingerlily's silk pillowcases and fitted sheets are designed to be paired with the matching duvet cover, so you can build a fully coordinated look one piece at a time rather than needing everything in a single purchase.
