Winter is here, the flannel pajamas and sweatpants are taken out of the closet and the quilts come into it ... There is no one who does not know the pleasant feeling of curling up in a warm duvet when the rain whips in the window - and we feel most at home in the world. But which blanket would suit both our need to keep warm at night and our budget? We went out to ask the experts and try to make order in the huge variety of winter blankets.

explains the differences between the different fillings and mainly refers to the differences between synthetic and natural fillings:

blankets -

blankets today are made of innovative and insulated fibers. These blankets are an equally worthy alternative to the natural blankets.

- The natural blankets are made of real duvet, with their filling in most cases combining down with feathers. The down is a natural filler for filling blankets, and is the best insulating natural material that nature has to offer in favor of filling blankets and it provides maximum comfort during sleep. The larger the down, the more insulated (i.e., warmer) it is and therefore less of it is required to fill a blanket. The less filler a blanket contains, the lighter and softer it will be.

The insulating capacity of the feathers, in contrast to the feather, is lower due to their flat structure and therefore, the higher the percentage of feathers in the quilt, the heavier the resulting quilt will be. That is: an ideal mix for filling upside-down blankets should preferably be with higher percentages of down and lower percentages of feathers or even down.

Apart from the filling, Bhak also refers to the shell (the fabric that wraps the filling) since, it also plays a role in choosing the blanket.

The denser and higher quality fabric cover, the better the filling will last and the longer it will last.

How to choose the ideal quilt?

According to golf & line experts, in order to choose the right (natural) upside-down blanket correctly, there must be room for personal preference and the degree of sensitivity of the user.

When it comes to choosing a duvet, it is important to remember a few points: the

winter in Israel is relatively easy and therefore choosing a blanket is ultimately a matter of how much you like the hump in a warmer bed.

In terms of size, the team deploys the existing and correct options: single, double or king size.

As for the price, as with other items, when it comes to choosing a budget blanket plays an important role - natural duvets are more expensive than synthetic blankets, but it is important to note that they provide an equally appropriate solution.

What are the benefits of a synthetic blanket?

And if the price is the one that ultimately decides between the two, then according to

"synthetic duvets consist of a feather-like filler called holyfiber, meaning hollow fibers that create volume, softness and warmth of the body."

"There are several qualities and levels of synthetic blankets. The elements that vary between these levels are the outer fabric of the blanket that wraps the hollyfiber fibers. The fabric material may be natural, made of 100% cotton, but the blanket will still be defined as a synthetic blanket due to its unnatural filling. In addition to the composition of the fabric, the thickness and density of the threads are also important details, and of course the quality of the filling and its weight. "

Mantel adds and emphasizes the advantages of the synthetic blanket over its natural and more expensive company: "Synthetic blankets have several advantages over natural upside-down blankets. They are anti-allergenic and suitable for children, they can be washed without fear and their affordable price is also a big plus. With a pillowcase - so that even if the blanket consists of a synthetic fabric, you can choose to cover it with a pillowcase made of natural fabric that comes in contact with the body. "

In contrast, for the living room, a comfortable blanket that will meet our expectations will be one that will fit the curl, will be light, will wrap the body and warm it directly in the short term.

"For example, brass or flannel blankets will be suitable, with or without filling, with one or two layers, and a variety of patterns and colors according to personal taste."

Warm you winter

CASTRO HOME, the housewares and lifestyle chain from the Castro fashion house, is also launching a variety of duvets these days, some from down and some synthetics.

The CASTRO HOME duvet collection comes in two sizes: single or double, with a natural duvet filling (down) or a synthetic filling, with a unique fabric shell for good insulation.

: "The blanket itself does not create heat, but insulates us from the cold air in the room and our body heat stored under the blanket is what actually makes us warm up so a blanket that insulates better will be warmer."

"Inverted blankets differ from each other in three main components: the type of filling in the blanket, which is the insulating material, such as the filling and density and the shell fabric of the blanket," the experts added.

CASTRO HOME upside-down blankets are sewn in a way that creates cells in the blanket.

This stitching keeps the filler material in the blanket (down or polyester fibers) from spreading evenly and does not create a situation where parts of the blanket do not have filler because then its insulating capacity will decrease and it will heat up less.

The natural upside down contains duck feathers and feathers

The company's upside-down blankets are wrapped in high-density fabric so that it will not allow the down or polyester fibers to come out of the blanket. "In natural upside-down blankets we use a fabric made of 100% cotton as a shell as a shell while in synthetic upside-down blankets we usually use microfiber fabric, made of delicate polyester fibers.

When we also asked the Castro Home team about the differences between the two main fillers we replied Of feather down which is the best insulation material. We offer natural duvets in a composition of 50% duck down and from 50% small feathers. Since the down is very expensive, it is customary to mix small feathers in the filling mixture. The only blanket containing 1,000 grams of filling and the couple has 1,470 grams of filling. "

In contrast, a natural inverse, inverse synthetic fiber filling contains polyester (Holofiibr) with a filling weight of 300 grams per square meter (GSM). Holfiibr fibers are hollow fibers Have a special structure that allows better insulation.

The fibers themselves are coated with silicone to give a more pleasant feeling of "smoothness" when we touch the blanket.

The blankets come in two sizes: single 200X150 cm and double in size 220X200 cm and the prices depending on the size: natural duvet 700-900 shekels |
