How to choose a duvet

There are also a few tips to share in the selection of duvets.

(1) Looking at the filling ratio, the main fillings of duvets are goose down and duck down. Compared with the two, goose down is better than duck down. The best quality is goose down, which has large velvet flowers, small feather stalks, good quality, sufficient elasticity, and strong warmth retention. The second is to duck down. Although the down and feather stems are inferior to goose down, they are of high quality, elasticity, and warmth retention.

Goose and duck mixed velvet is average and has poor elasticity, but its warmth retention is not bad, while crushed velvet is processed and crushed from raw flakes, has poor elasticity and warmth retention, has powder, and is of inferior quality.

But no matter what kind of duvet, its main quality index is down content. Generally speaking, a duvet that contains more than 50% cashmere is a high-quality duvet.

(2) Lay the duvet flat and let it recover naturally for three minutes, then press the duvet with your hands, and then release it. If it can quickly rebound and return to its original shape, it is a good product.

(3) Touch and pinch to test the softness of the hand, whether there are completely small hair pieces or too large or thick long hair pieces, quills, etc. For example, the quality of the quilt is soft and has completely small flakes. If you can touch sundries such as hair stems, the quality will be lower.

(4) Pat the quilt vigorously to see if there is any dust spillage. The less dust spillage, the better.

(5) Rub the quilt with both hands. If there is velvet coming out, it means that the fabric density is not enough, and velvet leakage will occur after a long time of use.

(6) Get close to the duvet and take several deep breaths. A good duvet should have no peculiar smell.

(7) Weigh the weight of the duvet with your hands, and watch the size of the duvet at the same time. The lighter the weight, the bigger the volume, the better.
