What is a velvet quilt? Is it warmer than a cotton quilt?

Velvet quilts are also called feather velvet quilts. The filling is mainly down, which grows on the abdomens of geese and ducks into reed-flower-shaped down. The ones in sheets are called feathers. Since down is an animal protein fiber, it has higher thermal insulation properties than cotton (plant cellulose).

Because velvet and feather filaments refer to single filaments falling from a whole down or feather pieces respectively. Some quilts on the market that claim to be 100% feather "silk" are actually filled with the remaining velvet and feather components from crushed feathers. They are low-priced and have no warmth retention properties. Down and velvet bedding is actually filled with "polyester fiber".

Although there is only one word difference between the product names of velvet quilts and down quilts, the filling content is very different, and the price and cost are even worse, which can easily confuse consumers, so they should pay special attention when purchasing. ?

Features of velvet quilt:

1. The fine and dense fiber layer can lock the air and produce a stable still air layer. It has the effect of keeping warm and preventing cold.

2. Full silicon processing and moderate curling give the fibers a good feel. The fibers will not tangle with each other after long-term use, and still maintain excellent fluffiness. Its warmth and fluffiness are also comparable to natural down.

3. At the same time, its chemical fiber nature gives it the advantages of being resistant to mildew and mites, washable, and easy to store.

4. The fineness of down velvet fiber is a fraction of the common four-hole, seven-hole and other fibers on the market, so the quilt has a good fit.
