Did you know that bed bugs LOVE goose and duck down, and HATE mulberry silk?

Bamboo and mulberry silk are the only fibers that are naturally pest-resistant.

Down comes from Scandinavia where the cold climate is inhospitable to insects. Silk comes from hot and humid Asia where its used for bedding because it naturally repels bed bugs and dust mites. Mulberry silk is also naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and mold and mildew resistant!
