Recently, some dealers have reported that XX brand duvets are thick, and customers are willing to buy their products. So, is the thicker the duvet, the better? Is thickness a key factor in determining warmth?
From the traditional understanding, thick is warm, such as a quilt, right? For example, wool quilts, right? Of course, thick can also make customers understand the “real thing”, right?
But does a thick duvet really mean warmth? If so, we can buy a quilt, wool quilt, why pay a higher price to buy a duvet? Therefore, today we must correct everyone’s concept, that is: the thicker the duvet, the warmer it is!
The key to a duvet is whether the filling is good or not. The so-called down is mainly composed of two parts, namely “down” and “feathers”. Down is a cluster of down, and feathers are what people often call a piece of hair.
What determines the warmth of a duvet: Fluffiness
The higher the fluffiness of the down, the more the down can fix a larger layer of air to keep warm and insulated. The higher the fluffiness, the better the warmth retention. To put it simply, the larger the volume of the duvet of the same weight, the better the quilt. If the fluffiness of the down is poor, in order to achieve the effect of fullness in appearance, it needs to be filled with more down, and the quilt will be very heavy.
So, what affects the fluffiness of down? The answer is “flown content”
What is Fluff? The fluff (velvet) has a special structure, it is a star-shaped structure, each velvet filament is superimposed by many scales, each scale is hollow, in these tiny pores, it is full of a large amount of still air, due to the lowest conductivity of the air, it forms a natural barrier, so that hot and cold air cannot convection. The research results released by French scientific research institutions believe that there is no thermal insulation material in the world that surpasses the warmth performance of down.
The “down content” in the old duvet standard has been modified to “down content” in the new duvet standard. What’s the difference? The down content includes down and velvet, while the down content refers to the content of the down flower, which is more accurate and has stricter requirements for duvets, of course, the cost is more expensive.
