Blankets for winter indeed!

Cold winter days are always hard, especially when it comes to sub-zero temperatures. At home, you look at the snow outside the window and listen to the howling cold wind. Trying to get a good night’s sleep at this point can become a difficult task. This is because your body will struggle to find warmth, and a comfortable sleeping position.

So now, your sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, etc., start playing a huge role. The right thickness and heaviness are the criteria for being a good comforter. It will keep you warm all night long, and give you good dreams.

Notoriously warm material

Wool: a popular natural material. In our perception, we feel that natural fabrics keep us warmer. And it’s true. This superiority is even reflected in temperature regulation and breath-ability. Besides blankets, we also use wool for sweaters and hats. This shows its excellent warmth retention.

Cotton-fleece: a mix of two materials that better combines their strengths. Combining the softness of cotton and the warmth of fleece, this material can therefore be both cozy and breathable.

Goose down: also one of the more popular natural materials. It is lighter and thinner compared to wool. Of course warmth is not neglected, and this type of blanket is friendly to winter. Neither will it weigh you down because it is too heavy, nor do you have to worry about not being warm enough.

How to Choose the Perfect Warm Blanket for Winter?

We all know the most basic feature of a blanket – warmth. But apart from that, other factors need to be taken into consideration. For example, the weight of the blanket, its size, how to wash it and so on.

According to scientific studies, sometimes you have nightmares because the temperature of the external environment is low or the covers are too heavy. When you have too much stress on your body, the nerves in your brain make a strain to deal with it. This can cause you to have nightmares. That’s why it’s better not to choose too heavy blanket when our body is comfortable. This is the time when goose down blankets are in demand.

The size of the blanket will also have a direct impact on how you feel about using it. Make sure you look at the size of your bed, including the length and width of the blanket, before you buy. If you buy a large one, it will drag on the floor, and if you buy a small one, it won’t be big enough to cover you! You definitely don’t want to have to get up on a cold winter day to adjust your blanket either.

If you have small children at home or you have a busy schedule in general. Cleaning blankets can be a difficult task without the help of a babysitter. Try not to go for materials like wool, as frequent trips to the dry cleaner will give you a headache!

After learning about some of the warm materials and buying considerations, I’m sure you already have an answer in mind to the question of how to choose the right blanket for winter. The right material, cozy touch, and just the right size can make up a perfect blanket.
