What material is good for the quilt core?

1. Fiber quilt core

Fiber quilt core, as the name suggests, has fiber as its internal filling. The fiber is delicate to the touch, skin-friendly, breathable, moisture-absorbent, and warm. Fiber quilts can be divided into four-hole, seven-hole, nine-hole quilts, etc. The more holes there are, the better the warmth retention, elasticity, and breathability will be. The fiber quilt has a feather-like light texture, which can promote human skin metabolism and is beneficial to health.

2. Quilt core

As a purely natural product, cotton quilts are non-irritating and will not cause skin allergies like cashmere, or down quilt cores and silk quilt cores. They are dry animal fibers that may cause allergies to the skin. They have strong moisture absorption and breathability and are often exposed to the sun, making them more fluffy and warm. Quilts are durable, close-fitting, and warm, and are a very economical and affordable quilt core.

3. Wool quilt core

Wool quilts should be the most close-fitting quilts. Wool fibers have good curling properties, so their thermal insulation properties are unquestionable. And wool has a good drape, so it has a good fit. Therefore, close fit and comfort are the biggest features of wool quilt core.

4. Silk quilt core

The best silk quilt should be filled with 100% mulberry silk. Because silkworms cannot be exposed to chemicals such as pesticides during their growth, silk quilts should be the most environmentally friendly quilts. The main component of silk is animal protein fiber, which contains more than ten kinds of amino acids and is beneficial to the human body. It has the functions of windproof, dehumidification, soothing, nourishing, and balancing human skin. The silk quilt core feels soft, has good fluffiness, and is clean and environmentally friendly.

A regular silk quilt has an inspection port, and after opening the inspection port, the silk inside is clear at a glance. Regular silk quilts do not have spun stitches. They only use needles to stitch the four corners of the quilt and the quilt surface to prevent the silk from slipping: some manufacturers now use poor quality or adulterated silk quilts to stitch the entire quilt. , making it impossible for consumers to inspect the filling material inside. At this time, consumers should be careful.

2. Hand feeling test method

The surface of high-quality silk has a soft, pearl-like color. It is not black or astringent. The color of the silk is bright and even, diffusing light without fluorescent reflection. It feels soft, fine, and smooth, and the silk is long and elastic. Mulberry silk is whiter in color than tussah silk and has longer fibers, softer, more delicate, smoother feel, and better elasticity.

3. Combustion test method:

Pull out a few pieces of silk at will and burn it with a lighter: the ignition point of silk is very low and will not burn. It will extinguish soon after burning. The smoke emitted during burning is white and accompanied by burning hair. The smell of burnt protein (the smell of burnt animal protein from hair or feathers), the burning ashes are gently kneaded into black powder by hand: the chemical fiber material will burn, black smoke will be emitted with a pungent smell, and the ash will not be black when pinched. When touched, it becomes a hard ball. There is a clear difference between the two.
