Winter is coming soon, and many people are considering buying thick duvets, silk duvets, cotton quilts, wool quilts, down quilts, which are the more common quilts on the market; what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these duvets? Which one should I choose? It has become a doubt in the minds of many people.
A good quilt should suit you and have a good comfort experience and be durable. Let me analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these quilts to help you have a reference standard when choosing one.

• Mulberry silk duvet

Mulberry silk quilts are made up of silk spat by silkworms; a long continuous fiber mainly consists of protein. All pesticides are rejected during the sericulture process, so the silk quilt is a very natural and environmentally friendly item.

The mulberry silk is very smooth and soft, and the most significant advantage of the mulberry silk duvet is that it is a great experience when you use it. It is light, soft, and supple on the body with no oppressive so that you can enjoy unrestricted sleep.

Mulberry silk is a long continuous fiber, and it is light and soft, which makes the fit of the mulberry silk duvet is perfect. When using the mulberry silk quilt, it will slowly attach to every part of the body; there will be no drilling. Therefore, its warmth is also excellent, coupled with the excellent breathability of the mulberry silk quilt, so it has a specific effect of winter warmth and summer coolness.

If there is a downside, it is that silk quilts are more expensive, with quality mulberry silk quilts generally costing over US$150.

• Wool quilt

Wool is also a natural animal fiber. Wool has good curl properties, and because curled wool contains a lot of air, which has a meager heat transfer rate, it prevents the entry of cold air from outside, making wool duvets very warm.

Wool has a perfect moisture absorption effect. Using wool quilts can constantly absorb the sweat and moisture emitted by the body and discharge it into the air, keeping the mattress dry, so wool quilts are more suitable for people with rheumatism.

However, the quality of wool is heavier and therefore not as light and soft as silk quilts in terms of comfort against the skin, and many people cannot get used to the heavy, oppressive feeling.

The other thing is that wool quilts are prone to odor and wool loss if they are not appropriately treated, which can be very uncomfortable for some people.

• Cotton quilt

The most significant advantage of cotton quilts is that they are cost-effective, cheap, yet have good warmth and are natural and environmentally friendly. Cotton quilts are a perfect and economical choice for those allergic to chemical fiber products.

Although the quilt has many advantages, its disadvantages are also relatively obvious. The quilt can not get rid of the bulky, poor elasticity of the shortcomings; compared with the silk quilt; the quilt appears to be very heavy. The oppression caused to the body is relatively strong, the fit is also not good, it is easier to drill wind.

Quilts are more likely to clump after a long period of use, making the experience worse.

• Down duvet

Down duvets are mostly filled with duck and goose down as raw materials. Down belongs to animal fibers, which are porous in the structure; these tiny air pores can store space and reduce airflow. Therefore, the warmth of the down duvet is perfect, and it is warmer than the silk duvet, which is also a movable fiber.

The duvet is very light, does not feel compressed on the body, and has a good fluffiness. The good lightness and fluffiness make the duvet an excellent experience.

As down is a feathery fiber, it is less effective in terms of fit and is better than silk duvets in terms of warmth, while mulberry silk duvets are made up of long, continuous fibers, making them feel softer and snugger overall.

If you are ready to buy a quilt, you can refer to the above analysis and choose the suitable quilt for your situation.
