What is a canvas quilt?

Canvas quilt is a thick cotton or linen fabric.

Canvas quilt is a thick cotton or linen fabric. Cotton is a natural fiber, which is light, soft, breathable, skin-friendly and easy to wash. Hemp is a kind of natural plant fiber, which has strong toughness and durability, can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays and mold, has good hygroscopicity and is not easy to wrinkle. The advantage of canvas quilt is that it is durable and breathable, which can keep the body warm and comfortable, and can also prevent excessive sweating and overheating. At the same time, it has waterproof and windproof characteristics and is suitable for outdoor use.

Most of the yarns in canvas are thicker than ordinary cotton cloth. In the eighth century, the Nordic people used it to make sails, named "canvas". Its early origin can be traced back to the Roman Empire.
