Comforters are always not warm when sleeping? This may be because the comforter cover is not chosen correctly. The bedding you choose has a direct impact on both the tactile and visual experience it provides throughout the night. If the bedding for winter is not chosen correctly, not only is the insulation effect worrying, but it may also have a negative effect, making the comforter feel twice as cold - after covering the body with a 10-pound comforter for 1 hour, the feet are still cold. So what kind of comforter cover is warmer and more suitable in winter?
Natural materials are the best choice
The fabrics of bedding for winter are mainly divided into two categories, chemical fibers (common such as polyester, lyocell, modal) and natural fibers (cotton, wool). In winter, when the air is dry and your skin is more prone to allergies and itching, the requirements for the material's moisture absorption and dust resistance are higher. Polyester fiber has relatively poor air permeability and is prone to electrostatic adsorption of dust bacteria, which can cause skin allergies and itching. Natural materials have good breathability, moisture absorption, and skin-friendly properties. Dust bacteria are not easy to adhere to, and the safety and health index is high, which is more in line with the human body's winter needs.
For the perfect bedding for winter, consider Wonderful's 7-piece cotton comforter set, which includes a 100% cotton comforter. This set is designed with natural materials to ensure breathability and comfort, keeping you warm while also being gentle on your skin—ideal for the winter season.
The more fluff, the warmer it is
Generally speaking, the warmth you feel from fabric is primarily affected by the texture of the material's surface. Fabrics that are smooth to the touch, such as silk, lyocell, polyester, etc., have low friction, large contact area with the human body, slow heat generation, less air storage space, and easy heat dissipation, so they often give people a cool feeling.
In contrast, fabrics with brushed or velvety finishes, like flannel, are great for winter. These materials create more friction when in contact with the skin, helping to trap heat and warm you up faster. The fluffy fibers in these fabrics store more air, which acts as insulation, keeping warmth in and preventing heat loss. This is also the reason why fabrics such as brushed and flannel are popular in winter.
If you want to feel the warmth and comfort this winter, choose Wonderful's flannel comforters. Their soft, cozy texture traps heat effectively, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable all night long.
Thickness Isn't Always the Answer
The thicker the better the warmth is a long-standing consensus. The thicker and closer the fabric, the slower the convection speed between the comforter and the external cold air, and the heat generated by the human body will not be easily lost quickly to achieve a warming effect. However, if the comforter cover is too thick, it can feel heavy and less breathable, leading to a stuffy and uncomfortable sleep experience.
Do not ignore the moisture absorption performance of the fabric
The fabric has good moisture absorption capacity, which can condense the heat generated by the body on the comforter with water vapor. Thus, it can achieve a warming effect. The good moisture absorption effect of the fabric can also avoid the static electricity problem caused by dry air in winter.
Warm-toned comforter covers are warmer
Color is also one of the factors that affect the experience of cold and warm. Cool tones like blues and greens evoke a sense of calm and freshness, similar to the ocean breeze, and can make the environment feel cooler. Warm colors give people psychological hints like flames and the sun, making people feel warm, and raising body temperature under the effect of psychological hints. Although all comforter covers are the same when the lights are turned off, the psychological effect of color on people is continuous. Therefore, choosing warm-toned comforter covers in winter, such as burnt orange velvet comforter, can make the comforter feel warmer and more comfortable under the effect of visual stimulation.
