Down quilt
Duvet - The Lightest Quilt
The main fillers for down jackets are goose down and duck down. Compared to duck down, goose down quilts are better. But regardless of the type of down blanket, its main quality indicator is the down content. Generally speaking, a high-quality down blanket with a down content of over 50% is considered.
Choose the type of duvet core.
There are various types of duvet cores, including white goose down, gray goose down, white duck down, gray duck down, goose duck mixed down, and crushed down, with a velvet content of 15% each °70 ¹ Between. The best quality among them is goose down, which has large velvet buds, small feather stems, good quality, sufficient elasticity, and strong warmth retention. Secondly, duck down is inferior in quality, elasticity, and warmth, although its plumage and feathers are inferior to goose down. The goose duck mixed plush is average in elasticity, but has good warmth retention. However, the crushed plush has poor elasticity and warmth retention due to the processing and crushing of hair pieces, and has powder, resulting in inferior quality. Down is a type of animal protein fiber that has higher insulation properties than cotton (plant-based cellulose), and its spherical fibers are densely covered with millions of small triangular pores, which can contract and expand with temperature changes, producing a temperature regulating function. It can absorb the hot air emitted by the human body and isolate the invasion of external cold air.
The health function of a down blanket is determined by its unique soft, warm and moisture absorbing properties. From the perspective of thermal insulation, the research results released by French scientific research institutions believe that there is no thermal insulation material in the world that exceeds the thermal insulation performance of down, because down is a star shaped structure, and each filament can be seen under a magnifying glass to be in the shape of fish scales, with countless small pores, containing a large amount of static air. Due to the lowest conductivity of air, down has good thermal insulation, and down is also full of elasticity, Based on a velvet content of 50 According to the down test, its lightness and fluffiness are 2.5 times that of cotton and 2.2 times that of wool. Therefore, the down blanket is not only gentle and warm, but also has a good touch to the skin. In addition, down also has good moisture absorption and dissipation properties that other thermal insulation materials do not have. According to measurements, during sleep, a person's body continuously emits sweat. An adult releases about 100 grams of sweat overnight. Featherwarm can continuously absorb and release the sweat released by the person, leaving the body without feeling damp or stuffy. In summary, due to the unique soft, warm, moisture absorbing and dispersing properties of down feathers, sleeping under a duvet will feel warm and comfortable, without any pressure, normal blood pressure, stable central nervous system, and quickly enter a sweet dream. Therefore, it also has excellent results in beauty. This is precisely why "down blankets produce beautiful women". Advantages: Good warmth retention, good moisture absorption, sweat permeability, and relatively dry. Suitable audience: Due to the light, soft, and soft characteristics of down jackets, their weight is much lighter than cotton comforters, and they do not cause pressure on the human body when used. Therefore, they are suitable for people with hypertension, heart disease, poor blood circulation, as well as the elderly, pregnant women, children, etc.
Disadvantages: The down blanket has small fluff shedding and breaking, which spreads throughout the room and enters the throat and lungs, causing coughing and discomfort in the lungs. To prevent the phenomenon of burring, coated high-density fabrics are generally used as bedding surfaces, which are mostly chemical fiber fabrics. In winter, static electricity is severe and can cause irritation to the skin and pores, resulting in poor comfort; Down has a relatively fast heat absorption and release rate, making it easy to feel cold all over the body in the second half of the night; Moreover, when the temperature rises, a large amount of static electricity will be generated, which can irritate the skin, rough the skin, stimulate nerves, and cause excessive dreaming, seriously affecting health. Moreover, it has poor resistance to insects and mold, and insect repellents need to be used when storing.
