Nest Silk Cloud Comforter Materials
Let’s take a look at the high-quality materials that go into making the Nest Silk Cloud comforter.
Cover
On the outside, Nest uses 100% organic cotton for the cover. This cotton has been woven into a sateen weave, and has a thread count of 300. The sateen weave gives this cover a soft, satin-like finish and an almost silky feel. The thread count only indicates how breathable this fabric is, and the lower a number is, the more breathable a fabric will be. All this to say, the cover shouldn’t trap a lot of heat.

RELATED: The Best Thread Count for Sheets
Unlike other comforters, this is not sewn through with a baffle box construction, but overall, the fill doesn’t shift around much. There are also loops in the corner to attach a duvet cover. Because the comforter only comes in white, if you’re looking for a splash of color, you’ll have to do it with a duvet cover.
Fill
Within this cotton cover, you’ll find 100% Mulberry silk fibers. This fill is vastly different from the typical down or down alternative you find in other comforters. Silk threads feel a bit more dense and don’t get as fluffy as down or down alternative.

Warmth
This comforter is more on the lightweight end of the comforter spectrum. It feels more like sleeping with a thick blanket. Having said that, it still provides ample amounts of warmth. If you prefer lightweight comforters, the Silk Cloud comforter will still keep you cozy.
Allergies/Allergens?
Silk is a naturally hypoallergenic material, and cotton isn’t known to trap or attract allergens in your sleep environment. If you have sensitive skin or sensitive allergies, this should be a safe comforter to use.
30-60 Min Nap with the Nest Silk Cloud Comforter
When you hear the words “silk comforter” you might think that the outer shell of the comforter is made of silk. But silk can also act as a fill for comforters, too. When it came time to test the Nest comforter, my first instinct was to see how fluffy the silk fill was.
Honestly, you’re not going to get much, if any, fluff from this comforter. But I’ve found that super fluffy comforters trap more heat. And as someone who runs hot, this more lightweight comforter was very appealing. The cotton cover has a bit of a crispness to it, but it still feels very soft as well.
I actually started out my testing while I was working. I draped the comforter over my legs, put a pillow on my lap and my laptop on top of that. Usually when this happens, my thighs start burning up in minutes because of the added heat from the pillow and whatever heat it’s absorbing from my laptop. But I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed virtually no heat transfer after about 30 minutes of work.
![An image of a man sleeping with the Nest Silk Cloud Comforter.](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/nest-silk-cloud-sleeping.jpg)
When it came time to actually nap and after I removed the pillow and laptop, I found myself at a very comfortable temperature. I still felt cozy with this comforter, but overheating was not going to be an issue here. I tend to prefer lightweight comforters for this reason, so it’s no surprise that I enjoyed using it.
One other thing I think worth mentioning is that the fill stays very evenly distributed. The cover isn’t sewn through with a box design, which may cause some concern about the fill bunching in corners. But I didn’t notice that happening at all.

Caring for the Nest Silk Cloud Comforter
Unfortunately, you cannot machine-wash the Nest Silk Cloud comforter. Nest recommends spot cleaning or dry cleaning.
If there are no other options available, and you must machine-wash, Nest mentions that you should machine wash on a rinse cycle and do not spin. You can also use the dryer to tumble dry or let it air dry. But again, this should be a last resort.
How Does the Nest Silk Cloud Compare to Other Comforters?
Not sure if this is the comforter for you? Let’s see how this comforter stacks up against a down alternative comforter and a bamboo comforter from Luxome and Cozy Earth.
Nest vs Luxome
If you’re looking for an equally high-end comforter that also has a unique property that can sense when you’re getting hot or cold, the Luxome ClimaSense is what you need. When comparing it to the Nest Silk Cloud, the differences are there from just the visuals alone. The ClimaSense comforter is thicker and much fluffier, while the Nest Silk Cloud is thinner and more lightweight.
![A man rests on his side while covered with the Luxome ClimaSense Comfroter.](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/luxome-climasense-sleeping.jpg)
Both are going to be good options for hot sleepers, however. The ClimaSense uses a unique material that can dissipate body heat, while the Silk Cloud is thin and only retains enough heat to keep you cozy. But if you’re a rare cold sleeper who needs a fluffy comforter, the ClimaSense should work better. If you’re worried about overheating and want a lightweight comforter, get the Nest Silk Cloud.
Who should get the Nest Silk Cloud Comforter? | Who should get the Luxome ClimaSense Comforter? |
Fans of thin, lightweight comforters | People who want a large, fluffy comforter |
Hot sleepers | People who get cold quickly during the night |

Nest vs Cozy Earth
Bamboo has become a popular material for bedding in recent years. Cozy Earth uses bamboo viscose in the outer cover of its comforter. Like Nest, Cozy Earth does offer a silk fill as an option, but you can also opt for a bamboo fiber fill. Nest only offers one option with the Silk Cloud.
![Cozy Earth Comforter - A man sleeps on his side with the comforter.](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Cozy-Earth-Sleeping.jpg)
You can also opt for a standard warmth or extra warmth models with Cozy Earth. So, if options are what you’re looking for, Cozy Earth could be the better choice. Sometimes bamboo can feel too slick, so if you want something with a more traditional cotton feel, the Nest Silk Cloud should be a better choice. And if you’re only looking for a lightweight comforter, the Nest Silk Cloud is also your winner.
Who should get the Nest Silk Cloud Comforter? | Who should get the Cozy Earth Comforter? |
Fans of lightweight comforters | People looking for warmth options |
Fans of cotton fabric | Fans of silky bamboo fabric |

Nest Silk Cloud Comforter FAQs
How long will the Nest Silk Cloud comforter last?
With good care, silk has been known to last upwards of 10 years. Though Nest only offers a limited 1-year warranty, this comforter will be very long lasting. The cotton is high-quality and should be fairly durable as well. Overall, I’d say this comforter should last several years when taken care of properly.
Are silk comforters worth it?
Yes. Silk comforters are going to be a bit of an investment, but the material is very durable and it has some good temperature regulating properties to it. The Nest Silk Cloud comforter is lightweight but still offers a good amount of warmth for those looking to sleep with something in addition to their sheets.
Is a silk comforter good for summer?
Yes. Silk has a natural thermoregulating quality to it that will keep the heat out when you don’t need it, but will also keep it in when you do. As someone who runs hot myself, I didn’t find myself kicking off the comforter.
