Blankets

Choosing a blanket is a responsible business. This bedding will warm you at night every day, create comfort and coziness. A wide variety of products, materials and sizes allow you to make a choice quickly and enjoy the result. You can purchase the necessary blanket on the Internet: you will save time and money. However, for the purchase to really bring you joy and satisfaction, you need to know what characteristics of the blanket to look at.

Basic criteria for choosing a blanket

All high-quality blankets must meet certain criteria:

• be hygroscopic;
• breathe well;
• do not cause allergic reactions;
• keep warm;
• have easy care.

These seemingly elementary things are not always fulfilled. The most negative consequences can be when buying cheap products because of the desire to save. At best, the blanket will quickly deteriorate, at worst it will cause itching and irritation.

Types of blankets

All products of this type differ in the way they are sewn, size, cover material and filler.

Three types of sewing

There are three types of blankets that differ in the way they are sewn:

• cassette - they consist of separate sections filled with filling. These are the most expensive, but also the most wear-resistant products, since the filler does not go astray, preventing deformation;
• quilted - the filler is held in the middle with stitched strips made on a special machine. The disadvantages of the product are obvious: if the stitching deteriorates, breaks, then the filler will no longer be fixed properly, it will roll off;
• Car-steppe blankets are blankets with a decor created by a stitch. The products are beautiful and more durable than their quilted counterparts.

Dimensions

All duvets correspond to the size of the bed and bedding. So, single, one and a half, double and childrens blankets are distinguished.

• Single: 90x145cm, 100x140cm, 100x145cm, 100x150cm, 110x140cm.
• One and a half there are such sizes: 140x200cm, 140x205cm, 150x200cm, 150x210cm, 155x200cm, 155x220cm, 160x220cm. At the same time, the standard for the CIS is 140-145x205cm, and for the EU - 155x215cm.
• The sizes of double blankets: 172x205cm (standard for the CIS), 175x205cm, 180x21 cm, 200x220cm (standard for the EU), 240x220cm.
• For a crib, the size is one - 120x120cm.

Before buying, check if the blanket will fit your bedding.

Cover material

It is best to prefer a cover made of natural fabric, such as bamboo, cotton or wool. If the synthetic material is of high quality, then you can also buy a blanket with polyester or microfiber, which slightly reduces the cost of the finished product. Some manufacturers add synthetic fibers to natural fibers, which increases wear resistance.

Choosing a filler

The level of warmth of the blanket depends on the filler. This indicator, as a rule, is written on the product packaging and is indicated by dots from 1 (cold) to 5 (warm).

The most popular types of fillers:

• wool - come from goat, camel, sheep wool. They are distinguished by good air exchange, lightness, warmth. Disadvantages: may roll, cannot be washed - only dry clean, cause allergies;
• down - may be goose, duck. Blankets are lightweight, warm, very durable. The negative points that you may encounter when using are allergic, voluminous, difficult to clean;
• bamboo is a wear-resistant filler that can be used at any time of the year. Caring for it is simple and easy. The only caveat is the high cost;
• holofiber is a synthetic filler, but it works very well. Withstands frequent washing, retains heat, hypoallergenic. In the process of use, it loses its splendor, but not its characteristics;
• swan down is another synthetic filler for a blanket. Very soft, airy, keeps you warm well.

How to care for the blanket?

Whichever filler you choose, the blanket will still need care if you want, to last a long time.

• Try to ventilate the blanket at least once a week.
• Synthetic wash once every few months in a washing machine.
• Natural only hand wash (except for down feathers and wool - they are not washed at all) at a temperature of 30 degrees.
• Dry only naturally in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not hang the blanket under the straight lines sun rays.
