A blanket for sleeping is a very important attribute in the house, and especially a good blanket. A person spends about a third of his life sleeping, and therefore during these hours he should be comfortable and comfortable. And taking care of the “right” blanket is no less important than choosing the right mattress and pillow. And its “correctness” must meet two main criteria: the blanket must be safe for health and bring pleasure to those who sleep under it.

Hygiene and size

The modern blanket market is diverse. Thin and dense, wool and bamboo, silk and padding polyester, and also quilted, double-sided and “breathable”: the catalog of any manufacturer is replete with an abundance of characteristics. And so that the buyer does not get confused about them, before going to the store it is worth studying this issue a little.

A good blanket must be chosen correctly in size, choose a safe filler and ask whether it meets basic hygiene requirements. It must be:

• Hygroscopic (a person does not sweat under such a blanket)
• Hypoallergenic (the filler should not cause irritation to the sleeping person)
• Pleasant to the touch
• Breathable
• Warm enough

To make a sleeping person feel comfortable under a blanket, it is worth picking it up correct size . You need to fit completely under the blanket, and this takes into account the fact that in a dream a person can roll over and change position. In simple terms– legs or arms should not “hang out”. Typically, blankets are conventionally divided into one-and-a-half (for one sleeper) and double (for two people).

However, this division is arbitrary: sometimes a “one and a half” truck turns out to be too small for a large person. And two thin people who prefer to sleep in an embrace may well be comfortable under a small blanket. Standard sizes one-and-a-half blankets, which are usually available from most manufacturers, are:

140 * 205 cm
. 150 * 210 cm
. 155 * 215 cm
. 160 * 220 cm

Double blankets are much larger. Their sizes:

170 * 205 cm
. 175 * 205 cm
. 180 * 210 cm
. 200 * 220 cm
. 240 * 220 cm

The last two sizes are the most popular. They are also called “European standard”. Even large people feel comfortable under such a blanket. And slender people can generally wrap themselves in them, like in sleeping bag: A lot of people like it.

How the blanket is sewn

The method of sewing and finishing is also an important characteristic of the blanket. It does not affect the degree of warmth or comfort, but is directly related to how long the blanket will last. There are only three sewing methods:

1. Cassette, the most reliable. The blanket consists of many sections that contain filler (bamboo, down, padding polyester, etc.). The smaller the size of the sections, the greater the likelihood that the blanket will not deform for a long time. An excellent option is 10*10 cm, but sections can also be larger - 20*20 cm or 30*30 cm. The size of sections or cassettes is directly related to cost. Typically, more expensive products consist of a maximum number of cassettes.
2. Quilted. This method was used in Soviet times; it is not considered reliable, since the blanket is stitched in one direction. Some manufacturers still produce quilts - they usually use inexpensive filling.
3. Karostep. The least common method of stitching a blanket, similar to quilting, but more sophisticated. The blanket is stitched with a beautiful cross or figure eight stitch, which makes it attractive, but very quickly deformed.

Blanket fillings

The type of filler is the most difficult criterion when choosing a blanket. Not only the degree of warmth, but also comfort depends on it. In the old days, there were only two types of blankets on sale - cotton and wool; on modern market More than a dozen fillers are presented - from quite affordable to elite and exclusive. And which one to choose is quite difficult to decide.

Wool

This is a completely classic, but also slightly “outdated” type of blanket filling. Wool can be camel, goat, sheep, alpaca or merino. This filler is considered very warm, pleasant to the touch, durable and at the same time quite light.

Wool blankets are good for your health. Doctors claim that they help with diseases nervous system and joints. And blankets made from goat wool, due to their slight tartness, even have a slight massage effect. But such blankets have two big disadvantages: they cannot be washed (only dry cleaning is acceptable) and they are strictly contraindicated for allergy sufferers. Any wool can cause itching, coughing and nasal congestion: and if a person has at least some predisposition to allergic reactions, it is better not to purchase a wool blanket.

Pooh

Not everyone can afford a duvet. It is considered the most expensive, especially if the down of rare birds - loons or swan - is used as a filler. Although blankets made from goose or duck down also belong to the premium class. The cost depends on the percentage of down and feathers. The more fluff, the more expensive the blanket. The best filling is considered to be 100% down.

Duvets have many advantages. They are very light, warm and breathable. This blanket will last for decades. Under it, a sleeping person feels especially comfortable, because natural down (experts confirm this) creates a good microclimate for relaxation.

But with a lot of advantages, duvets also have disadvantages. It is better not to dream about them for people suffering from allergies or asthma. That is why they are not recommended for use in children, because they may have a predisposition to these diseases. And it is also difficult to care for such blankets; at home it is almost impossible; you will need the help of specialists. A duvet is quite bulky: it will require a lot of space in the closet.

Bamboo

The main advantage of bamboo blankets is their antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.. They are not afraid of ticks, do not cause allergies and are well breathable. Bamboo filling – light, warm and does not require special care: The blanket is machine washable. Typically, manufacturers claim that it is equally comfortable under it both in summer and in winter, since bamboo maintains a person’s natural temperature. But in practice, it turns out that in the summer it’s still a little hot under such a blanket, but in the winter it’s an excellent source of warmth and comfort.

The only disadvantages of bamboo blankets include their high cost. If a product is offered in a store at a fairly affordable price, you should carefully study the composition. Sometimes “Bamboo” is written in large letters on the packaging, but in fact the filler will contain only 10-20%.

cotton wool

This filler is already considered a historical relic, although it is still found on sale. Cotton blankets are quite warm, do not cause allergies and are cheap. But at the same time, they are short-lived, absorb all foreign odors, and become lumpy. And wadded blankets are the heaviest of all. For most people, this property has nothing to do with comfort.

Silk

This filler is considered elite and exclusive.. The filler itself is protein, purified from resin, which is produced by the silkworm caterpillar. Such blankets are considered the lightest and most environmentally friendly. And at the same time completely safe for allergy sufferers. In winter, under a silk blanket it is quite warm, and the only disadvantage is the high cost.

Sintepon

This is the most affordable blanket filler. His positive properties– accessibility, warmth, lightness and low maintenance requirements. There is a feeling of comfort under a padding blanket, but you shouldn’t expect it to last forever. Usually, after several washes, such a filler loses its positive properties: it significantly decreases in volume and stops heating. Therefore, you should not be surprised if in a year or two it will already be cold to sleep under padding polyester.

Silicone

It is compared to wool and they even call it a modern analogue. Silicone filler is in demand - at an affordable price, easy care in operation and good properties, which provides a sleeping person. A silicone blanket is highly breathable and is considered very warm. It is usually sewn using the cassette method, since the silicone gets very loose over time. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the smell: if you notice an unpleasant chemical “aroma”, it is better to discard such a product immediately.

Holofiber

A blanket made from such filling is considered good example value for money. This artificial material- better quality than padding polyester or silicone, but much cheaper than bamboo or down. Such blankets are light, warm, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. They are easy to wash in a machine, but over time you need to be prepared for the holofiber to pill. Although it will last longer than padding polyester.

For any season

When choosing a blanket, you should pay attention to the degree of warmth that manufacturers promise. The most conscientious of them indicate it on the label. Usually this is an icon in the form of five dots: the more of them are filled in, the warmer the blanket. But usually the level of warmth is a subjective concept, so it is best to focus on your personal feelings.

Ideally in household there is not one blanket, but at least two - for different seasons. But there may also be one, consisting of two parts connected by buttons: very convenient modern version for winter and summer. And when choosing a blanket, you must not forget that to a certain extent how well you can sleep depends on it. And in the modern rhythm of life, an extra sense of comfort will not hurt.

Regardless of climatic conditions, almost all of us use a blanket. A high-quality and comfortable blanket is designed not only to warm, but also to create coziness and provide comfort during sleep, and many modern fillings can give the bed unusual, but very pleasant properties: for example, an antibacterial effect or a beneficial effect on the skin. How to choose a blanket that will please you for a long time? How to do right choice among a variety of fillers, fabrics and different manufacturers? So that you can quickly find your way to a comfortable sleep and enjoying your rest, we give you this “guide” to the range of different blankets.

What qualities are important in a blanket?

Choosing the warmth of the blanket

When choosing a blanket, the most important quality is its warmth. So the first thing we really look at is a blanket's ability to keep us warm on a cold night. Or it may be the other way around - if you are choosing a blanket for the summer, it is important for you that it is not too hot. In any case, the main indicator of the blanket is the comfortable warmth it can provide.

The warmth of the blanket is provided by the type of filler and its density. So, natural wool warms much better than bamboo or eucalyptus. For hot weather or well-heated rooms, the mentioned bamboo and eucalyptus, as well as silk and seaweed. Not only are these fillers lightweight and breathable, but they can also create a subtle cooling sensation on the skin in hot indoor climates.

However, keep in mind that a very thin wool blanket is unlikely to be warmer than a fluffy bamboo blanket for winter. When choosing a blanket, it is important to strike a balance that keeps the blanket warm enough without being too hot.

Based on the filling density, the blanket is assigned seasonality:

Summer (light, lightweight)– filler density 200 g/m²

Winter (warm)- filler density from 300 g/m² or more

All-season (universal)- filler density is about 300 g/m². An all-season blanket differs from a winter blanket in that the stitching is more frequent, so the filling fits more tightly and holds less air gaps, which are designed to retain heat. Therefore, with a blanket density equal to winter version, an all-season blanket is less warm.
The next most important quality for a blanket is its ability to pass air. No matter how cold the air in your room is, if the blanket does not breathe, you risk sweating. And if the apartment gets warmer, a stuffy blanket can even become torture. An air blanket that allows the body to breathe warms better than a dense one, since layers of air are formed between its fibers, retaining the heat of your body. By the way, these same “air cushions” will be comfortable in a warm room, because they adapt to body temperature, maintaining the most pleasant microclimate around you.

Splendor and lightness

If you have chosen a breathable blanket that is warm enough for you, you can think about other components of comfort. The volume of a blanket or its fluffiness is the property that will give your bed the desired level of comfort. Most people prefer fluffy blankets, but some people like thinner, firmer options that have a nice heaviness.

The fluffiness of a blanket can affect its warmth. As mentioned above, a large number of air layers inside the blanket makes it warmer compared to a densely filled blanket.

The weight of a blanket depends on various factors: the weight and composition of the filling, the density of the filling. The heaviest filling material is cotton. Therefore, cotton blankets are intended for lovers of pleasant heaviness and weightiness. The rest of the blankets, both natural and synthetic, are light in weight.

Hygroscopicity

The ability of a blanket to quickly absorb moisture and then just as quickly evaporate it into the air is a very important quality for a blanket. In ensuring a comfortable microclimate around your body, humidity is no less important than temperature. Would you like to sleep under a warm and wet blanket? Of course not. But any person normally produces sweat, even if he is not very hot. The main thing is that moisture does not accumulate on the skin, but is quickly removed, evaporating into the air or being absorbed into the blanket.

The “record holder” for hygroscopicity is a wool blanket. Sheep, camel or goat wool can very quickly absorb even large amounts of moisture, remaining dry to the touch. This quality makes wool blankets comfortable even in hot weather. Wool blanket in summer? Why not? After all, it is well ventilated and removes excess moisture from the skin, thereby providing comfortable conditions for your sleep.

Easy to care for

The easiest to care for is synthetic filler (microfiber). It worries easily machine washable at average temperature (up to 40 degrees), subsequent spinning, does not require special storage conditions.
Microfibers with the addition of natural fillers (bamboo, corn, algae) already require more delicate handling, in particular, intensive spinning and high temperature are not recommended for them.
You can wash wool in a machine, but with maximum precautions: on the most delicate cycle, in cool water, avoiding spinning and twisting when drying.
We would not recommend washing a duvet at home at all; it is better to contact a specialized laundry. And a blanket filled with the purest elite silk cannot be washed at all! The maximum you can afford is to superficially clean the case from accidental contamination.

Differences in the composition of blankets will affect their care, so be sure to check the label for your specific blanket. You should not focus on similar products from other manufacturers - they may have a different composition, a different content of natural additives in a synthetic base, a cover made of a different material, etc.

Why add synthetics to a blanket or is natural always ideal?

If the filler is not elastic and light enough, such as natural cotton, microfiber can be added to it - a synthetic material that has very high elasticity and low weight. The more synthetic microfiber in a blanket, the fluffier and lighter it is. In addition, synthetics have low cost, which also affects the price of the blanket.

Bamboo filler is light in weight and has many valuable properties for healthy sleep, but - alas! – does not have elasticity. It is difficult to make a blanket filled exclusively with bamboo fluffy and airy, so bamboo is supplemented with voluminous and elastic microfiber. This is how we get a comfortable, fluffy blanket with beneficial properties bamboo

Wool is very demanding to care for, and over time, products made from it can lose their qualities - volume, elasticity, airiness. And here microfiber comes to the rescue: it imparts the necessary properties, making the blanket more comfortable and practical compared to pure wool.

The more microfiber a blanket contains, the cheaper, more durable and practical it is.
The more natural filler, the more pronounced its beneficial properties.

Main characteristics of different types of fillers

Paying attention to key characteristics filler, it should be borne in mind that they are characteristic of the material in pure form. That is, the more of the specified filler in the blanket, the more clearly the specified property will manifest itself. For example, a blanket containing 100% wool is an order of magnitude warmer and more hygroscopic than a blanket containing 30% of the same wool. Therefore, when choosing the main filler for a blanket, also pay attention to its content. total mass filler.

The quality of insulation of an apartment is also important. winter period year.

What factors influence the selection of a new blanket?

In order to correctly assess which blankets are the warmest, you need to consider the following factors:

• degree of warmth (largely depends not only on the materials, but even on the bed linen used, for example, under a cotton duvet cover it will be more comfortable than under a silk one);
• size (yes) different options: under one of them you can fall into an afternoon nap or just a short rest, while under the other it is more convenient to sleep fully at night);
• composition or filler (there are a lot of options here, so it’s worth taking a closer look at each of them, in some cases purchasing several options at once).

The warmest blankets should maintain a constant temperature during sleep, regardless of weather conditions. Regardless of which filler was chosen for the blanket: sheep or camel wool, silk, synthetics, soy fiber, bamboo, down, it is important that it has a thermoregulation function.

By size, all blankets are usually divided into three main groups:

• one and a half;
• double;
• Euro size.

It is difficult to say which blanket is the warmest of the one-and-a-half models, since manufacturers offer sizes of 155 x 200 cm, 150 x 210 cm, 145 x 205 cm, 140 x 200 cm. The size is influenced by the standard that applies in the manufacturing country. In Russia, a one-and-a-half blanket is offered in sizes 145 x 205 cm. Double beds in Russian standard- 175 x 205 cm.

How to determine the warmth of a blanket

In order to understand which blankets are the warmest, you need to evaluate their warming ability, that is, the degree of warmth. You can purchase a warm, all-season, lightweight, lightweight summer blanket. Options with the same fillers may have different degrees of warmth, this is influenced by the amount of “warm substance” used.

The warmest blankets are down ones. Following them are those made from sheep's wool. Blankets made from sheep's wool have a more impressive weight, but they are less warm. If you are allergic to wool, you can purchase eucalyptus or bamboo blankets instead, or opt for models made from synthetic fillers. Silk-based fabrics are also not dangerous for people prone to allergies.

Choosing a blanket for a child

What blankets are the warmest, lightest, and safe for children? It is advisable that for the child it be made from natural material, not causing allergies. Children who cannot tolerate wool, the fluff of domestic animals, who cannot wear woolen things, will not be able to sleep under sheep's clothing. In addition to allergic reactions, such options can provoke Quincke's edema and cause bronchial asthma. For small children, we can recommend blankets with modern synthetic fillings; they are easy to care for, ticks do not live in them, and the risk for the child is minimal.

Blankets with synthetic filling are also suitable for preschoolers.

Older children who do not suffer from allergies can use the option with feather or camel filler.

How to choose for adults

What blankets are the warmest and safest for adults? Each person has their own preferences that need to be taken into account when choosing. In order to understand which blankets are the warmest, you can take a closer look at one of the following options before purchasing:

• Voluminous and light, they are comfortable to wrap up in bad weather. They can be filled with synthetic fill, down or feather.
• Compact and dense, made from natural natural materials(sheep or camel wool), suitable for people with problems with joints and spine. For adults with allergies, we recommend bamboo or soy blankets.
• Made from natural silk, they are not only pleasant to the body, they relieve static tension that accumulates overnight.

About manufacturing methods

The mechanical manufacturing method involves dividing blankets into three groups: cassette, quilted, and carostep. They have a minimal cost. They consist of several sections. The filler used in such blankets wrinkles and rolls inside, so they lose their positive characteristics and shape. Among such blankets we can mention cotton and down quilts. Karostep is a blanket that has a stitch on the surface made in a variant of the pattern. As a result, even without a duvet cover it looks very stylish and beautiful.

Among the parameters that are important to consider when choosing a new blanket are the material and size of the blanket. should match the width of your bed or be slightly larger. What is the warmest blanket made of? Let's try to figure it out.

Main characteristics of a duvet

So, what is the warmest blanket made of? Of course, the most popular option for natural filler is the feather and down of any waterfowl. This filler gives airiness, lightness, and elasticity. Down ensures full air circulation, and it also has excellent thermal conductivity properties. Among the disadvantages of duvets, it is necessary to highlight the absorption of moisture, so they gradually become damp. This blanket contains at least 10% down, which is why it is elastic and voluminous.

Some manufacturers add coarse feathers to the composition, which can cause certain inconveniences. It is advisable to purchase a duvet that contains 40% feather and 60% down. Washing is then carried out at a temperature of more than 60 degrees, drying - in a straightened form, it is advisable to ventilate it in the fresh air.

Main characteristics of silk filler

The lightest and warmest blanket currently is silk. The material has excellent antibacterial characteristics and has a long service life. Among the disadvantages of this silk filler is the high cost.

Advantages and disadvantages of wool filling

When thinking about which blanket is the warmest, many buyers opt for products made from natural wool. This material retains heat perfectly, has a long service life, and is lightweight.

Bamboo duvet filling

Fiber such as bamboo is natural, environmentally friendly pure material, has excellent antimicrobial and antibacterial characteristics. Such blankets have a reasonable cost; their characteristics are similar to natural silk.

Let's sum it up

So, answering the question about which blankets are the warmest, after reading the reviews, it can be noted that the choice is an individual event, which depends on the person’s personal preferences, his state of health, and material wealth. When selecting, you need to take into account the time of year in which you plan to use the blanket, climatic conditions, room humidity, as well as the age of the person who will use it.

Choosing a blanket is a complex and responsible matter. How to choose a blanket that suits all your needs?

Of course, what better blanket, everyone chooses for himself. Some people prefer light, weightless feather beds, while others cannot fall asleep without feeling the weight of their favorite thick woolen blanket.

But at the same time, under the perfect blanket, you should be warm, but not hot. To provide the most comfortable sleeping conditions, the blanket must perfectly remove moisture released by the body and allow air to pass through, allowing the skin to breathe. Let's take a closer look at how to choose a blanket.

Choosing the filling of the blanket

The main thing in a blanket is the filler. It is its type that determines the warmth, weight, breathability, price and features of caring for the product. Some people prefer down and wool, while others are looking for exotic or hypoallergenic fillings. In any case, in order to correctly decide which blanket to choose, you need to consider all the options, taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of different fillers.

Duvets

Duvets are known for their warming properties, incredible lightness and durability. They perfectly allow air to pass through and absorb moisture, and will last you 15-20 years.

Each fiber gives the blanket its own special properties, but at the same time they all breathe well and remove excess moisture.

A classic option known to many since childhood - cotton blanket. It is warm under it in any weather, but it should be taken into account that dense cotton wool does not breathe well, accumulates moisture, absorbs odors and clumps over time. Therefore, it is better to choose a modern cotton blanket - light, beautiful and comfortable. Such models are easy to wash and dry, and are distinguished by excellent thermoregulation and lightness.

Bamboo blankets are becoming increasingly popular. Bamboo fiber is strong and durable, and is also famous for its bactericidal properties. It's cool under a bamboo blanket even in the heat. It maintains the ideal temperature and humidity in bed.

Synthetic blankets

Synthetic blankets are among the most budget-friendly. They are hypoallergenic and can be easily washed in normal washing machine and dry quickly.

Synthetic winterizer blankets, known to many, provide excellent warmth, but at the same time they do not allow air to pass through well, do not allow the skin to breathe, and force the skin to open up at night.

It is best to choose blankets from modern down substitutes like comforter or comforter. Considering the properties of these fillers, all of them can be combined under the concept of “artificial down”. This special kind fiber, hollow inside, due to which it retains heat especially well. And the elastic structure of the filler perfectly holds the volume without losing it even after washing.

Blankets with this type of microfiber filling with the name have gained particular popularity, loved for their special softness and lightness.

Buying a synthetic blanket is an excellent option for budget-conscious and heat-loving allergy sufferers.

Choosing a blanket cover

When choosing a blanket, it is important to pay attention to the fabric of the cover. It must be breathable, hygroscopic and durable. A good cover reliably protects the filler and does not allow it to come out. In the case of down models, this must be a special down-holding fabric. Before buying a blanket, you should check the strength of the cover and pay attention to the tactile sensations when in contact with the material.

Ideally, the fabric of the cover should be natural and environmentally friendly. The most popular option is inexpensive and easy-to-use tightly woven cotton. Teak, satin, cambric, satin jacquard and percale have proven themselves to be excellent. More expensive covers made of natural silk, which have a positive effect on sleep and skin, also find their fans. The most modern and technologically advanced blankets are covered with a new generation of polyester fabric called Biosoft. It is silky and quite dense.

It will be useful to choose a blanket with a treated cover. special compounds designed to improve sleep quality. These can be hypoallergenic, bactericidal, antistatic and other impregnations. For example, made of silver or with aloe Vera extract.

Choosing the size of the blanket

When you have already decided which blanket to buy, all that remains is to choose the right size. For a single bed, a one-and-a-half (otherwise known as a single) blanket with a width of 140 centimeters or more is perfect. The length of the product is selected taking into account height, to which you need to add about 20 cm. That is, if you are up to 1.80 m tall, blankets 200 cm long are suitable, and if you are 2 meters tall, you need to buy a blanket 220 cm long.

For double beds, accordingly, double blankets are offered. Their width starts from 170 cm. You should not skimp on this parameter, so as not to spend all your nights unpleasantly tugging at the blanket. Psychologists often advise spouses to avoid wars for a warm sleep and buy two one-and-a-half-length blankets. At the same time, everyone will be able to choose a model to suit their taste. Another option for married couples is euro-size blankets, the width of which exceeds 200 cm.

The exact dimensions of blankets vary between manufacturers and different standards. For example, classic Russian one and a half size- 140x205 cm, some manufacturers offer options 150x200, 160x210 (KingSilk), 150x210 (Onsilk, Prinavelle), 155x200, 155x220 (Schlaraffia), 155x215 (Primavelle, Asabella) cm. Double blankets most often have sizes 170x200 and 18 0x210 cm, European standard - 200x220 cm and 220x240 cm (“king” size).

Considering the parameters listed above, you can make the right choice and buy the perfect blanket that suits you.
