Types of fillers for blankets

Blankets are made from different materials. They are very different in their characteristics, quality and price. Each option has its own positive and negative points.

1. Natural. These include fluff (goose, duck, fluff dandruff) and feather. Even in Russian folk tales, the royal people rested on downy feather beds and warmed themselves under the duvets. In those days it was considered the height of luxury and wealth! And today they are not very cheap, especially blankets, filled with fluff loons - a northern bird with an incredibly warm and dense plumage. Duvets are elastic, light, very soft and durable. They not only provide heat, but also freely let in air. So under them it's not hot in summer and it's not cold in winter. Pooh can also have a curative effect. However, there are also disadvantages. As is known, so-called dust mites feel very free in this material. And this is a big problem for people with allergies. Cleaning and drying these blankets is very troublesome.
   • Wool. For the production of blankets wool of goats, sheep and camels are used. Such blankets are thin and light. Under them very comfortable. Wool has a good effect on the human body. They even recommend people with diseases of the respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system. They absorb the moisture very well, while remaining dry to the touch. Their shortcomings are similar to the minuses of feather "brethren" plus one more guest from the world of insects - a moth.
   • Cotton. Despite the fact that we are accustomed to cotton in the lungs, summer things, this material creates an excellent microclimate and is able to warm.
   • Silk. Very expensive material. Such blankets not everyone can afford. However, it is very light, pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic. But it is more suitable for a hot summer night.
   • Bamboo. more precisely bamboo fiber. This is the innovation of the new century. This fiber is softer than cotton, has an antimicrobial effect, maintains a constant body temperature in a dream.
   • Vata. environmentally friendly material, well retains heat, absorbs excess moisture and does not cause allergies. However, such blankets are very heavy, poorly flowing air and quickly accumulate unpleasant odors.
2. Synthetic. Most often this is a cheaper sintepon and more expensive polyester fiber. Such blankets are not inferior in any way to natural heat preservation, they are well ventilated, light, do not absorb odors and are easy to take care of. However, not all people can tolerate synthetics.

We select the best blanket for the child

Babies are a gentle, defenseless and verylegible! So what blanket is best for a newborn or a baby? It is best to stop at the softest and lightest option. It is better to choose a wool blanket, for example cashmere or merino (from a wool fine-fleece ram). Under such a blanket, your baby will not freeze, will not sweat, which means it will not catch cold.

Wadded and down comforters can warm the child,but they are very difficult for a little man. Pooh can cause severe allergies and warm the baby so much that it sweats. This is highly undesirable.

In occasion of synthetic blankets for kids so fara lot of arguing. Not everyone agrees that synthetics are acceptable in children's bedding, moreover, some polyfilms provoke allergies.
