Advantages and disadvantages of various quilts

It's about to enter 65438+February. The weather in Shenzhen is getting colder every day, and every household has begun to buy autumn and winter quilts. The following small series will sort out the advantages and disadvantages of each quilt for everyone. Please see below.

1, silk quilt-the greenest quilt.

The best silk quilt should be filled with 100% mulberry silk. Because silkworms can't touch chemicals such as pesticides during their growth, silk quilts should be "green" and environmentally friendly.

Advantages: The main component of silk is animal protein fiber, which contains more than a dozen amino acids, and the silk fiber is very thin and long, so the silk quilt is not only good for health care and beauty, but also comfortable and close to the skin. The water absorption of silk is 1.5 times that of cotton, so it has good moisture retention and moisture drainage performance. The toughness of silk is also very good, which is similar to that of steel wire with the same thickness, so the silk quilt is very durable.

Disadvantages: At present, many silk quilts made of tussah silk or short fiber silk are generally chemically bleached, so these silk quilts have lost their green significance.

2, duvet-the lightest quilt

The main fillers of duvets are goose down and duck down. Compared with the two, goose down quilt is better than duck down quilt. But no matter what kind of duvet, its main quality index is the cashmere content. Generally speaking, more than 50% of cashmere is high-quality duvet. ? Advantages: Because the internal air content is large, it is light and warm.

Disadvantages: poor air permeability and close fitting. Feathers as filling materials require higher fabrics, otherwise the phenomenon of drilling is very serious. Quilts are generally made of high-density fabrics, mostly chemical fiber fabrics, which have serious static electricity in winter. ? Adapt to the crowd: because the duvet is light and soft, its weight is much lighter than that of the quilt, and it will not cause oppression to the human body when used, so it is suitable for people with high blood pressure, heart disease and poor blood circulation, as well as the elderly, pregnant women and children.

3, wool (cashmere) quilt-the closest quilt. ? Wool fiber has good curl characteristics, so there is no doubt about the warmth retention of wool. Moreover, wool has a good drape, so it fits well. ? Advantages: close-fitting, warm.

Disadvantages: afraid of getting wet, it will produce odor.

4, quilts-the most common quilt.

As a traditional warm-keeping material, cotton has become the most widely used quilt because of its delicate, naturally curled and hollow cross-section. ?

Advantages: less static electricity and less pressure.

Disadvantages: cotton winter quilt needs a larger weight, so it is heavier. Not suitable for people with high blood pressure, heart disease and poor blood circulation, the elderly and pregnant women. It needs to be renovated from time to time.

5, fiber quilt-the cheapest quilt.

Among all quilts, fiber should be considered as the most moderate price, and the price is generally around 100~200 yuan. Fiber can be divided into space quilt, four-hole quilt, seven-hole quilt and nine-hole quilt. Theoretically, the more holes a fiber has, the better its warmth retention, elasticity and air permeability. But you don't have to choose a fiber quilt with many holes. If the indoor temperature is high in winter, you can choose four-hole quilts, because in fact, the warmth retention of these quilts is not much different. ? Advantages: low price, good warmth retention and air permeability, and light weight.

Disadvantages: chemical fiber friction is easy to generate static electricity, so it will absorb a lot of dust and dander inside the quilt core for a long time, which is not conducive to health. Also, the more holes there are, the rougher the fiber is and the worse the fit is.
