In a summer blanket, the filler does not consist of cotton wool, but of cotton fibers that have undergone a special process.Therefore, in such products the weight of the filler does not exceed 900 grams, which reduces the weight of the finished product by half compared to the warmed winter models.

One of the most popular types of summer blankets are jacquard patterns. This is a very comfortable class of flannelettes with high breathability and high moisture absorption.

Moreover, domestic models in their hygienic properties and color stability, as a rule, are superior to similar products of foreign manufacturers.

  • Cotton perfectly retains heat, winter quilt is a great option for people who are sensitive to cold.

  • Warm cotton quilts are usually very heavy, which can also cause discomfort in a sleeping person.
  • Samples made in the old fashioned way, quickly clumped, losing their original properties, thereby shortening the life of the product.

Modern manufacturers, in order to weaken the negative properties of cotton, mix it with synthetic fibers, thereby creating additional comfort and increasing the life of the cotton.

Linen, like cotton, has a fibrous structure, so it is perfect as a filler for bedding. But unlike cotton filling, it creates its own microclimate, which contributes to special comfort - in the summer under such a blanket you will not feel hot, and in winter you will not freeze.
