How to care for your mattress topper
A silk mattress topper requires very little maintenance. Air it regularly, and only wash it when necessary.

- It is a good idea to air it when you change the bed linen.
- Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
For stains
- Gently dab the stain with a damp cloth.
- Avoid rubbing the fabric or silk filling vigorously.
Washing
- The mattress topper can be machine-washed on a gentle silk cycle.
- Only use detergent designed for silk.
- Avoid regular detergent, fabric softener, and bleach.
- Choose a low spin speed to protect the silk filling as much as possible.
- Only wash the mattress topper when necessary.
Drying
- Allow the mattress topper to air-dry completely.

Comparison with other mattress toppers
At Cillouettes, we have chosen to use only 100% natural, long-fibre Mulberry silk in our silk mattress pad - one of the finest and most durable silk qualities on the market.
The long-fibre silk gives the mattress pad a lightweight and airy construction while also contributing to a comfortable sleeping environment with silk’s naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking properties.
Many cheaper silk products on the market may be filled with short-fibre silk, silk remnants, or blends of silk and synthetic fibres. This may be reflected in the price, but it can also be felt in the quality, comfort, and durability over time.
Our silk mattress pad is also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, which means that the textiles have been tested for a wide range of harmful substances.
So when comparing silk mattress pads, remember:
It is not only about how the mattress pad looks - but to a great extent about what lies inside.
Why choose a silk mattress topper?
A silk mattress topper is an obvious choice if you want a more comfortable and temperature-regulated sleeping environment.
Silk has a natural ability to help the body regulate its temperature throughout the night. The material is both breathable and moisture-wicking and helps draw excess heat and moisture away from the body.
More comfortable temperature throughout the night
If you tend to feel hot or sweat at night, a mattress topper with silk filling can be particularly comfortable.
The long-fibre Mulberry silk helps create a more stable microclimate around the body, so the bed feels less hot and humid.
At the same time, silk naturally provides insulation, which means it also contributes to a comfortable temperature on cooler nights.
Natural and breathable silk filling
Our mattress topper is filled with 100% natural, long-fibre Mulberry silk and has a 100% cotton outer fabric.
The combination of natural materials creates a light and breathable mattress topper that adds comfort without making the bed heavy or significantly changing the firmness of the mattress.
An added benefit: Mattress protection
In addition to silk's temperature-regulating properties, the mattress topper acts as a protective layer between you and the mattress and helps protect it from sweat, body oils, stains, and normal wear and tear.
Our recommendation
- Do you often feel hot at night? The silk filling helps regulate the temperature.
- Do you experience night sweats? The silk helps wick moisture away from the body.
- Would you like a lighter and more comfortable sleeping environment? A silk mattress topper adds a breathable layer between you and the mattress.
- Would you also like to protect your mattress? The mattress topper helps keep it clean and well-maintained for longer.

Understand what silk filling means
What is silk filling?
The difference between silk filling, cotton and down
- Silk filling: Temperature-regulating, breathable and moisture-repellent. Silk adapts to your body temperature - cooling in summer and warm in winter. It does not clump and feels light and evenly distributed across the entire pillow.
- Cotton filling: Dense and heavier. Cotton retains moisture well and may therefore feel warm and damp during the night.
- Down filling: Very airy and warm, but may clump together over time and lose its shape. Down can also attract dust mites and requires regular shaking and airing.
Short- vs. long-fibre silk filling
- Long-fibre silk filling: Made from continuous silk threads from whole silk cocoons. The fibres are strong and elastic, forming an even, durable layer. This provides a luxurious, smooth feel - and helps it retain its shape for many years.
- Short-fibre silk filling: Made from broken or shorter silk fibres, often leftover material from silk production. It is less expensive, but slightly less durable and may feel a little looser or more “wadding-like”.
An important misconception
Many people think that there is smooth silk fabric inside a silk duvet - like the kind used in silk bed linen.
In fact, the filling consists of many layers of fine silk fibres, which together form a natural, airy and insulating material. It is more like a thin, lightweight layer of wadding than a smooth piece of fabric.
