A '''silk comforter''' (絲綿被) is a bed covering, most often used as a [[duvet]], and also commonly referred to as a silk duvet, silk quilt, or silk blanket. Originally used and made in [[China]], since the late 20th century, [[silk]] comforters have become more common in Western market areas. Their increasing popularity stems from a combination of factors, including their thermal properties, their light weight, and their natural hypoallergenic properties. The opening of the Chinese market to the world since the 1990s has also played a significant role in the spread of silk comforters, as China is both the world's biggest silk producer and silk comforter manufacturer.
