Why does the quilt become fluffy and soft after drying?

A lot of warm air is stored between the dried quilt fibers, so it is fluffy and soft to cover.

Through the exposure of the sun, the air content in the quilt is increased, the fibers of the quilt are stretched and fluffy, and its elasticity and warmth can be increased. When the quilt is irradiated by ultraviolet rays, it can remove moisture and germs from cotton wool, reduce the bacteria carried, and reduce the occurrence of epidemics such as colds. This can not only prolong the service life of bedding, but also benefit human health.

However, it should be noted that many people like to take a shot after the quilt is dried, thinking that it can not only remove dust but also make the quilt fluffy and soft. Experts say this method is unscientific. If you beat the cotton wool hard, it will beat out the warm air in the cotton wool and reduce the bulkiness.

Extended data

Different materials of quilt cores have different drying methods.

1, the quilt has good hygroscopicity, but it releases water slowly, so it needs to be aired frequently.

2, chemical fiber quilt itself does not absorb moisture, drying it is mainly for sterilization.

3. After duvets and silk quilts are exposed to the sun, strong ultraviolet rays will change their molecular structure, thus damaging their fibers. So duvets and silk quilts are mainly ventilated and dry.

4. Wool quilt has strong hygroscopicity, and it is easy to be infected by dampness. It needs to be exposed to the sun frequently, but it must not be exposed to the sun for a long time.
