Mulberry silk quilt market is very confusing. There appear unhealthy price competition and fake and shoddy products even in many well-known brands. Poor quality mulberry silk quilt cannot promote human metabolism, even will cause health problem. Below is some tips which can help identify genuine mulberry silk to avoid consumer deception.

① look at the price. If price of mulberry silk quilt is calculated according to the net weight and per kilogram is less than 100 RMB, then we can conclude the quilt is fake and shoddy product. Because in addition to the cost of silk, it also includes the cost of fabric. If it is high-count cotton quilt cover, the price is generally about 15-35 RMB / m, a 200cm * 230cm silk quilt may need about 4.5 m fabrics which costs about 70-160 RMB. Adding to the processing fees, the value-added tax, corporate normal profits, business costs, employee wages, an authentic mulberry silk quilt is expensive!

②: fluff degree. In general, if the silk is very compacted, solid just like cotton quilts, this silk is usually fake and shoddy products. Because a good silk made of silk, are generally very fluffy. With a beat, and it will soon rebound, therefore, pure silk is known to be porous.

③: kneading. In normal circumstances, filler of fake silk quilt on the test port is true silk, you can knead the silk in test mouth, and then kneading the quilt in the middle and elsewhere. It is false if there are significant differences. Genuine silk feels smooth and flexible, while other types of fillers will not.

④: burn. Now some manufacturers, cover a layer of genuine silk in outer, and fill chemical fiber inside the quilt, so some quilt price is particularly low. Therefore, consumer, should pull out some silk be in the silk layer (note: not surface), for combustion. Then burn silk thread, twist it into ashes, and then observe the ash state. If it is powder the thread is natural silk. Burning smells like burnt protein, if there is granule it contain synthetic ingredients, if the burnt cannot be twisted into powder, it is pure chemical fiber.

⑤: dissolution method: we can use 5% sodium hydroxide solution or disinfectant 84 to identify the content of silk. Silk can be dissolved while chemical fiber can not be dissolved. It is the most scientific method and can completely distinguish silk from chemical fiber, but it cannot distinguish silk from tussah! Recommend this method!
