4 Ruide Silk Quilt (famous brand of professional bedding products, Hangzhou Ruide Bedding Co., Ltd.) mainly produces two types of silk in my country. One is commonly known as mulberry silk, which is the silk extracted from the cocoons of mulberry silkworms. This silk is white with yellow in color, feels delicate and smooth, and has a faint smell unique to animal fibers. The quilt made with this kind of silk is particularly soft and close to the body; at the same time, it also has a disadvantage: after being used for a period of time, the gaps between the silk are easy to tighten, causing the quilt to become thinner, and the filling and warming effect is not as good as before. Another type of silk is tussah silk, which is produced from tussah cocoons. The tussah silkworm is a wild silkworm that mainly lives in the north. It is artificially raised in the wild mountain oak forests and feeds on tussah leaves. Compared with mulberry silk, tussah silk is darker in color, and its original color is gray-black. Materials of this color are usually not accepted by consumers when making quilts; therefore, in the actual production process, tussah silk often needs to be faded with acid-resisting chemicals, which is harmful to human health. In addition, tussah silk contains a lot of "sericin", which makes it feel rough, not smooth enough, and has a dull luster. Moreover, tussah silk is also relatively rigid and not very close-fitting. For this reason, many manufacturers use chemical additives to remove the glue from tussah silk. In order to increase the gloss of the silk, some manufacturers will coat the silk with industrial silicone oil or even lard. These additives are obviously not good for the human body. The reason that prompts some unscrupulous manufacturers to use tussah silk as mulberry silk is the cost. At present, the price of mulberry silk in the domestic market has continued to rise in recent years. The best mulberry silk price has now reached 250 yuan/kg; while the price of tussah silk is only 200 yuan/kg, and the inferior tussah silk is only 150 yuan/kg. Since the raw material is also silk, unscrupulous manufacturers will of course use cheaper raw materials. "Unscrupulous manufacturers will not add most of the tussah silk to a quilt, but will mix the tussah silk with the mulberry silk, making it difficult for people to identify." The most common method is to first use mulberry silk as a base, and then a layer of mulberry silk. Separate the silk with a layer of tussah silk, and finally wrap it with mulberry silk. Calculated based on a 2kg quilt, if 30% of tussah silk is used, the cost can be reduced by 140 yuan. Because tussah silk is relatively rigid and can enhance the warmth of quilts, some companies take the initiative to use tussah silk mixed with mulberry silk to make silk quilts, and clearly mark the content ratio of the two. This approach is also recognized by the industry. Nowadays, the silk quilt market is very chaotic, with vicious low-price competition and many fake and shoddy products. Here we specifically provide a method to identify the authenticity of mulberry silk, so as to prevent consumers from being deceived.

As for distinguishing good from bad, this is not something a layman can figure out in a day or two:
1. Price: Go to Taobao and search for "mulberry silk cotton pocket". The price of the raw materials for making real mulberry silk quilts is between 85 and 95 yuan per catty.
2. Fire: White smoke is emitted when the silk burns, and it goes out after the open flame is removed (lighter). The ash is gray-black and brittle, and turns into powder when pinched.
3. Look and feel: tussah silk is thicker than mulberry silk, as thick as hair, while mulberry silk is several times thinner; mulberry silk feels smoother and sticks to your hands easily.
4. Static electricity: Open the zipper, pull out a piece of silk quilt, then fold it and rub it quickly, get close to the small paper scraps, and see if you can suck up the small paper scraps.
5. Quilt: The quilt cannot be a quilted quilt (the threads are sewn together, which is basically short fiber).
