Silk Fibre

About

For centuries, silk has had a reputation as a luxurious and sensuous fabric that is associated with wealth and success. Silk is one of the oldest fibres known to man. The Chinese have used it since the 27th century BC. Silk is mentioned by Aristotle and became a valuable commodity both in Greece and Rome. In the Roman Empire, silk was literally worth its weight in gold. The unique production process adds to the mystery and exclusiveness of the fabric. It takes 5500 silkworms to produce one kilogram of raw silk. Other names: Wild silk, Tussah silk

Application

Akwamat can be easily placed under your existing cushions or mattresses. The open structure of Akwamat provides perfect ventilation, keeps your mattress fresh and dry, and makes for much healthier air quality.

Unlike boats, campers and caravans usually don’t have a fixed-bed configuration. Even in these situations, Akwamat excels in its ventilation capabilities. Ventilation holes are often already present. If they are not, don’t worry; Akwamat delivers sufficient ventilation at the ends and through the cracks between the table and the benches.

In trailer tents, mattresses are usually located in the lid. In that case, you can opt for a slightly larger Akwamat. That way the Akwamat forms a lining on the inside of the lid, free ventilating due to its slightly larger size. This also applies to the alcove of a camper.
