100% natural Silk mattress topper

Why choose a 100% silk mattress topper?

A mattress topper changes the surface you sleep on without requiring you to replace the mattress underneath it. It can add softness, create an additional comfort layer and introduce different materials into the immediate sleeping environment.

What makes the T.SILK mattress topper distinctive is the material used inside it.

Rather than relying on conventional synthetic filling, the topper contains 100% natural silk padding made with patented T.Silk® technology. This allows the natural silk fibre to become an integral part of the bed system, rather than being used only as a decorative or surface fabric.

Silk combines lightness with breathability and thermal insulation. Its interaction with moisture also makes it particularly suitable for bedding, where heat and humidity constantly change during the night.

With four different padding weights, the T.SILK topper can be selected according to the amount of softness you want to add to your existing mattress.

Is this mattress topper really filled with 100% silk?

Yes. The internal T.Silk® padding is made from 100% natural silk.

This distinction is important because products described as “silk mattress toppers” can vary considerably in their composition. Some use silk only in the outer fabric, while others combine silk with synthetic fibres in the filling.

T.SILK takes a different approach: silk is the actual padding material at the heart of the topper.

You can then choose the outer fabric separately in silk or cotton, depending on your preferred configuration.

This gives you the benefits and characteristics of a natural silk filling regardless of the selected outer cover.

Benefits of a natural silk mattress topper

Natural thermoregulation

The temperature of the sleeping environment changes continuously during the night.

Natural silk combines insulating properties with breathability, allowing the T.SILK topper to create a lightweight intermediate layer between the sleeper and the mattress.

Rather than simply adding thickness, the topper is designed to support a more comfortable sleeping microclimate.

Breathability

Silk is valued in bedding because it can combine thermal insulation with airflow.

This is particularly useful in a mattress topper, where less breathable materials can create a warmer and more enclosed layer directly beneath the body.

Moisture management

Heat and humidity are closely connected during sleep.

Natural silk fibres can absorb and release moisture, helping the bedding layer respond to variations in the sleeping environment.

This characteristic contributes to the breathable nature of the T.SILK topper.

Lightweight softness

A mattress topper does not necessarily need to be thick or heavy to add comfort.

Silk makes it possible to create a soft additional layer while retaining a light structure. Different padding weights allow you to choose how much cushioning you want to introduce.

100% silk padding: what makes T.Silk® different?

The heart of the mattress topper is the patented T.Silk® natural silk padding.

The technology was developed to transform silk fibre into a stable padded structure suitable for bedding, clothing and other textile applications while preserving the characteristics that make silk particularly valuable as a natural filling.

T.Silk® padding consists of layered silk fibres designed to create a lightweight and breathable structure.

In the mattress topper, this technology allows the amount of silk filling to be adjusted according to four different weights – from 150 to 600 g/m² – so the level of softness can be selected according to individual preferences.

100% silk padding vs silk-blend fillings

Not every product described as a silk mattress topper has the same composition.

The term can refer to a topper with a silk outer fabric, a filling containing only a percentage of silk, or a blend of silk and synthetic fibres.

For this reason, checking the actual fibre composition is important.

The T.SILK topper uses: 100% natural silk for the internal padding

with a choice of: silk or cotton for the outer fabric.

This makes the composition clear and allows customers specifically looking for a 100% silk-filled mattress topper to distinguish it from silk-blend alternatives.

Silk mattress topper vs synthetic mattress topper

The main difference lies in the material used to create the comfort layer.

Filling

T.Silk mattress topper: 100% natural silk VS Typical synthetic topper: Synthetic fibre or foam

Fibre origin

T.Silk mattress topper: Natural protein fibre VS Typical synthetic topper: Man-made

Breathability

T.Silk mattress topper: Naturally breathable VS Typical synthetic topper: Depends on material

Moisture interaction

T.Silk mattress topper: Natural fibre behaviour VS Typical synthetic topper: Depends on material

Padding options

T.Silk mattress topper: 150–600 g/m² VS Typical synthetic topper: Product dependent

Made to measure

T.Silk mattress topper: Available VS Typical synthetic topper: Product dependent

Made in Italy

T.Silk mattress topper: Yes VS Typical synthetic topper: Product dependent

A synthetic mattress topper may be suitable when the priority is high-density cushioning or a specific foam response.

A silk topper offers a different proposition: a natural, lightweight and breathable comfort layer designed around the sleeping microclimate.

Silk mattress topper or mattress pad: what's the difference?

The terms mattress topper and mattress pad are sometimes used interchangeably, particularly when describing relatively thin products placed over a mattress.

In general, however, a mattress pad is usually a lighter layer used mainly for surface comfort or protection, while a mattress topper provides a more noticeable additional comfort layer.

T.SILK is designed primarily as a silk mattress topper, but its four available padding weights allow the thickness and softness of the additional layer to be adapted.

Customers looking for a lightweight silk mattress pad may therefore prefer the lower padding weights, while the heavier options provide a fuller topper experience.

Choose your silk mattress topper

150 g/m² – Light / Minimal cushioning / Recommended for: A light natural silk layer

300 g/m² – Soft / Balanced softness / Recommended for: Everyday comfort

450 g/m² – Plush / Fuller cushioning / Recommended for: A more substantial comfort layer

600 g/m² – Extra Plush / Maximum softness / Recommended for: The fullest T.SILK configuration

The modular T.SILK system also allows compatible toppers to be layered using the dedicated fastening system, giving you further flexibility if your requirements change over time.

Silk mattress topper sizes

T.SILK mattress toppers are manufactured according to precise metric measurements.

Available standard and made-to-order dimensions include:

• 80 × 200 cm Standard
• 100 × 200 cm Made to measure
• 120 × 200 cm Standard
• 140 × 200 cm Made to measure
• 160 × 200 cm Standard
• 180 × 200 cm Standard

Because UK mattress sizes and European mattress sizes can differ, we recommend checking the exact width and length of your mattress rather than relying only on size names such as Single, Double, King or Super King.

Made-to-measure silk mattress toppers for UK beds

Need a topper for a UK or non-standard mattress size?

Every T.SILK mattress topper is made on demand, which allows us to produce custom dimensions for mattresses that do not correspond to our standard sizes.

Measure the width and length of your mattress and contact our customer service team before ordering. We can manufacture the topper according to the required dimensions and adapt the perimeter fitting where necessary.

Made-to-measure production is also suitable for bespoke beds, yachts, motorhomes and other non-standard sleeping systems.

How to care for your silk mattress topper

To preserve the structure and characteristics of natural silk over time:

• air the mattress topper regularly away from direct sunlight;
• avoid storing it in plastic bags;
• use a clean white cloth and mild soap for small localised stains;
• do not twist or wring the product;
• dry naturally on a horizontal surface;
• do not tumble dry;
• follow the complete care instructions supplied with the product.

For hand washing, use delicate detergent and water at a maximum temperature of approximately 35–40°C.
