Just over half a month of cool weather, followed by widespread cooling across the country, feel that this year's late autumn than in previous years came a little earlier, home side two days before the highest temperature or more than 30 degrees, and then today began a precipitous cooling, immediately after cooling to about 10 °, too terrible, can not help but have a sober understanding of the cold this winter.

Since the cold can not be controlled, then start to do from their own, upgrade the equipment, which is of course the most important is to sleep covered quilt, last year, said the purchase of a bed of goose down quilt and then dragged in the end did not get, this year decided to start in advance, down quilt how to choose, where are some considerations, we first look at.

Why is goose down widely respected?

First of all, goose down is a kind of down quilt, compared to duck down quilt, goose down has better fluffiness, corresponding warmth is also better, and goose down compared to duck down odor is smaller, so in recent years the major brands main products are also goose down quilt, then goose down quilt compared to the traditional cotton quilt where some advantages?
A, insulation performance is strong, goose down sub internal storage of a lot of stationary gas, gas relativity stationary, not easy to outflow, with excellent breathability, can adjust the form with the temperature change, and thus produce insulation and temperature regulation function.
Second, light without oppression, older friends must have the impression that as a child by the large quilt pressure can not breathe, cotton because of the limited warmth performance so you need to stack multiple layers to ensure warmth, insulation has but the weight also came up, the same volume of the quilt, the lightest weight of the down quilt, about 1/3 of the cotton quilt, wool silk quilt 1/2, goose down quilt light weight will not produce a sense of pressure on the human body. Promote blood circulation, to ensure the normal functioning of the body, while sleeping to adjust the sleeping position is also more comfortable, for the sleep quality is not good for the group also has a certain sleep aid effect.

Third, excellent breathability, goose down quilt is also called "breathing quilt", the body is also carrying out moisture release when sleeping, breathable performance of goose down quilt can remain dry after a long sleep, especially for people sensitive to changes in humidity, this is particularly important.

Down comforter selection indicators

Filling & filling amount & down content

The down comforter is divided into duck down, goose down, and goose and duck hybrid comforter by filling type, of which goose down is the most excellent, not only the fluffiness is higher compared to duck down, more warm, and the odor is smaller compared to duck down.
The filling amount is the total weight of the down filling in the whole quilt, the down content as the name implies is the percentage content of the total filling amount of large down and down silk (some brands will be collectively called down on the wash mark), because the filling of goose down components are mainly down, down silk, feathers, which play a warm effect is the down, such as "down content 95% " indicates that the down (down) content is 95%, feathers and other components accounted for 5%.

Fluffiness

The principle of goose down quilt is through the air filling down to achieve insulation and ventilation, the larger the down, the stronger the ability to accommodate air, and the more insulation. If placed in the same volume of the container, the same weight of goose down occupies more space, it means that the higher the fluffiness, and the higher the fluffiness, it means that the stronger the ability of this goose down to accommodate air, the better the warmth performance, fluffiness has a national standard and American standard, qualified grades, the national standard is generally 20 + CM, American standard is generally 600 +, the higher this value fluffiness is also better.

Fluffiness can also be identified by the naked eye, a goose down quilt light weight, but very drum (that is, the volume is very large), that means the fluffiness is very good, warmth will also be very good. In addition, I think the goose down origin theory is not based on, fluffiness is the king.

Fabric & Alignment & Grade

The above indicators mainly affect the warmth of the down, the fabric is related to the comfort of the use of the degree, the general point of the brand will choose high fabric, the higher the count, the finer the line, the fabric feel is also more soft; then the alignment of the down is related to the long-term use of maintenance problems, through the down jacket know the down phenomenon, this problem also exists in the down, high fabric with down locking process The high-count fabric with the down locking process can effectively avoid this problem, when buying and selling, you can see if the merchant has mentioned this aspect; there are some manufacturers will also work on the fabric grade, can reach A class (can contact the baby skin), for the skin sensitive people can be said to be very friendly.

Finally, the point of purchase about down and cleanliness, after all, down is an animal product, where there are bound to be certain impurities and odor, so there is a cleanliness mark on the market about the down quilt, China's current standards require no less than 500, most brands on the market are more than 800, there are some brands to do more than 1000, so you can effectively avoid the down quilt odor, but also to prevent sensitive People have respiratory allergy problems.
