What is a quilt?

Quilts use cotton as filling and are either hand-made or machine-made. Although pure cotton quilts are becoming increasingly rare in big cities, they still dominate the quilt market in the vast rural areas of our country.

Is the quilt quality good?

1. Hygroscopicity: Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere. Its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts human skin and makes people feel soft. rather than stiff. If the humidity of the cotton body increases and the surrounding temperature is high, all the moisture contained in the fibers will evaporate and dissipate, keeping the quilt in a water-balanced state and making people feel comfortable.

2. Moisturizing properties: Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself is porous and has high elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and the air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Because it is a conductor, pure cotton quilts have good moisturizing properties and make people feel warm and comfortable when using them.

3. Heat resistance: Pure cotton quilts have good heat resistance. When it is below 110 degrees Celsius, it will only cause the water on the quilt to evaporate and will not damage the fibers. Therefore, the quality of pure cotton quilts will not be affected when used at room temperature. , thus improving the environmental suitability of pure cotton quilts.

4. Hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and there are also a small number of waxy substances, nitrogen-containing substances, and pectin. Pure cotton quilts have been tested and practiced in many aspects. There is no irritation or negative effects when the quilt is in contact with the skin. It is beneficial to the human body after long-term use and has good hygienic performance.

How to choose a good quilt?

1. A good quilt is large in size and light in weight. Cotton quilts are not as heavy as many people think.

2. Make sure it is pure cotton. If it is burnt to ashes and smells of plant ash, it is cotton. If it has a pungent smell, it is chemical fiber if it is not fully burned and has particles.

3. Good cotton is very strong. If you pull the cotton fibers, they will become integrated and not easy to tear. It is good cotton. If you pull it and there is no strength at all, it is lower-grade cotton.

4. Look at the color of the cotton core. Good cotton cores are generally soft in color, white or milky white. Be wary if the color is super white or yellow.
