Helios in its purest form: silk satin without pattern, without dye\u2014just the material itself. The natural shade of the silk\u2014a warm creamy white\u2014comes through unadulterated. The satin sheen, the cool feel on the skin, the light weight: Helios Natural is pure silk, reduced to its essential qualities. For those who value the material more than the d\u00e9cor. <\/p>\n
Silk is certainly one of the oldest textile fibres, yet it has never been as relevant and cutting-edge as it is today. The culture of silk has accompanied humankind for thousands of years, and this queen of fibres remains irreplaceable even in modern times. For one, there is its unique feel\u2014the sense of wellbeing silk creates on your skin. The organic structure of silk is almost uncannily similar to the structure of human skin. Silk lets the skin breathe; silk stimulates the receptors in our skin. That is why it is cool in summer and wonderfully warm in winter. And silk is a blessing\u2014not only for people with eczema. <\/p>\n
Silk has been woven in Plauen, Saxony, since the days of the German Empire. The Plauen silk mill is one of the last fully integrated manufactories in Europe\u2014and the last to truly master weaving silk in Jacquard patterns. Floral ornaments, paisley designs, baroque textures: what is created here is woven, not printed. The difference lies in the depth. Woven patterns live with the light; they change, they have substance. Nearly a century of experience goes into every piece\u2014knowledge passed from hand to hand and preserved within the weave itself. When you touch Seidenweber bedding, you touch that history. <\/p>\n

Silk products can be cleaned by hand wash without damaging the silk. It is best to use a mild soap or a special silk shampoo such as Tenestar. Soak the silk in lukewarm water for about 3\u20135 minutes.
\nWash dark silk or printed silk only briefly in a cold hand bath; please do not soak. During this time, it is recommended to move the fabric only gently back and forth.
\nRemove the silk from the water after a maximum of 5 minutes. Rinse the silk in cold water with a teaspoon of wine vinegar to remove any soap residue. Then roll the silk in a dry towel to draw the remaining moisture out of the fabric. For dark or printed silk, please use the towel in multiple layers. Then lay the silk flat and gently straighten the corners. <\/p>\n
Silk should generally be ironed slightly damp and inside out. Do not iron silk too hot. Silk is an organic fabric, a protein compound\u2014similar to our hair. Too much heat only causes damage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
