What is the ruling on a man using a quilt made of natural silk sewn with cotton or synthetic fabrics, knowing that the silk does not touch his body and he does not see it?

It is forbidden for men to cover themselves with pure silk or to sit on it. This is the view of the majority of scholars. If the blanket is stuffed with silk but its outer layer is of a different material, then jurists have differed regarding the ruling on its use. Some have permitted it, like the Hanbalis, while others have forbidden it, like the Malikis. The more cautious approach for a man is to avoid using a quilt stuffed with silk, in order to avoid disagreement.
