Marycrafts 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Single Sleeping Bag Liner Travel Sheet 83"x33"

Better than expected

Just took this on a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon. Absolutely loved it. Packs down super small, very lightweight. Held up great, laundered beautifully post trip. This will be on all my backpacking trips!

I grew up a bare bones camper - no sleeping pad, basic meals, no makeup, infrequent showers. I'm still a tent camper (if it's an RV, it isn't camping!), I keep things simple, and I just enjoy being disconnected from the frenzy of regular life. But there are a few things that have now become important to me, though they're not necessities for camping: hot tea, a pretty head scarf since I can't style my hair, and a silk travel sheet.I had no idea travel sheets existed until a friend mentioned it was going to be hot where we were camping, just three days before leaving on the trip, and that she'd be bringing these for her family. Thankfully, I was able to find this and get it delivered just before we left (thank you, Prime!).Unfortunately, I think the temperature was somewhere in between "silk travel sheet" and "sleeping bag" temperatures. It felt absolutely perfect at the time I went to bed (and deliciously luxurious while sleeping on the ground), but I got chilly later on in the night. Since it was still too warm for my mummy bag, I stole my dog's blanket (don't judge me! He was curled up in or on my/my husband's sleeping bag the whole trip anyway) to throw over the travel sheet, which was just perfect.The only downside to this is that it is pretty thin silk. I was afraid of it being damaged by my dog walking on it, by me thrashing in my sleep, or just being snagged by a zipper or my wedding ring. That didn't happen, but I did have to use a little witch hazel on it when we returned home as I'd gotten a bit of pine sap on it. It looked like it was doing weird things to the silk before it looked like it was helping with the sap, so I quickly rinsed it out and washed as usual. The silk looks fine, but the sap is still there. Witch hazel is pretty gentle, and worked on the other items I had to use it on without damaging them. So it does require a bit of gentle care, but as long as you view it as a travel/camping accessory and don't expect it to stay pristine, just functioning, I think you'll be fine.I was also very happy with the price, having seen similar items for sale on Amazon for upwards of $200. Yes, those are probably higher quality, but...it's a camping accessory for me, so it doesn't seem necessary to spend that much more.

I bought this and used it one time and it tore. I reached out to the company and sent them pictures of the tear and they said they would send me a new one. I understand that it probably comes from China, but it has been over a year and I have not received a new one!

Color: Orchid PurplePros: Luxurious -- tried one out mid-day, and didn't want to get back up; like swimming in liquid air Spacious -- I expected them to be on the small side (purchased for my children), but they were surprisingly spacious even for me (6ft, 220lb) Quality -- stitches are good and consistent; time will tell if they hold-up, but they certainly look good Light Weight -- fabric is *very* light weight, which is precisely what I wanted, especially as the weather gets warmer Tiny -- packs up into a pouch the size of my hand; and, yes, I was able to re-pack it without too much difficulty No VOCs -- I'm sensitive to scents, and generally *hate* them. If anything, this smells faintly of some flowery perfume, but it is so faint that when I inhale deeply from the fabric, I smell nothing. Usually I can't wash a new cloth item like this fast enough (and I still will), but it will be a shame to lose that lovely back-ground scent.Additionally, they arrived _next_ day (Prime). Wow. Great product and great turn around.Cons: Integral Pouch -- Would be nice if the packing pouch was integral so it doesn't get separated (one less thing to keep track of, especially when used traveling) Care Instructions -- Would be nice if there was a care instructions label *somewhere*; care is provided on the Amazon site, so not a show stopper, but only works for the original purchaserBelieve it or not, I wasn't paid for this review. I'm just simply pleasantly surprised. Without reservation, one of my best Amazon purchases, and a breath of fresh air in an age of cheap/bargain products.

This was a reasonably priced item. I used it on a recent 5-day camping trip on which the nights were 50-65 degrees. I used it on its own and inside a sleeping bag and was very pleased. I didn't get sweaty in it, nor did it have that sometimes unpleasant slick feeling inside cheaper sleeping bags, yet it added warmth much how sheets do in a bed, by draping around your body's contours (sounds kind of weird haha). Unfortunately the opening doesn't line up with my sleeping bag's... the opening on this item is on the right, which I actually prefer. This item washes well, I have washed it on cold and dried it on low heat with clothes and had no problems. I did wash it with a load of old towels the first time in case the color bled--it did not bleed on me but it may for other colors (I bought the turquoise... I believe the seller calls it peacock). I've also used this as a light cover when sitting outside and it does the trick better than trying to spread a jacket over your legs or something. It lives in my travel backpack now because it's so small (a little thicker than a bag of sunflower seeds, for reference) and useful and easy to stuff back in the carrying pouch.I have one very minor complaint and one suggestion: some of the stitching on the carrying pouch is starting to come out, but not so as to affect its function. I consider that minor enough that this is still a 5 star item in my book. I would suggest that the seller attach the carrying pouch to the sheet with a chain link thread or similar, as I plan to do myself; the bag is so small that I'm afraid I'm going to lose it!

Super thin, the material is soft a bit gauzy feeling. A bit claustrophobic for me so I increased the opening. So small, perfect for air travel

Pour la gestion de la chaleur, c'est très bien. J'ai trouvé le sac un peu étroit.

Not as nice as it appears. Difficult to get in and out of

Definitely not silk, but item was cheap and you get what you paid for, not a bad deal.

Good liner, very light weight and small. I'm happy with the purchase and use it both in my sleeping bag and when staying in hostels. Folds down to no bigger than my fist, so it's easy to put in my pack.
