10 best blanket fillers

Who does not like to lie in a warm bed under a soft and comfortable blanket? It is responsible for the lion's share of comfort, so it is recommended to approach the choice of model responsibly. Manufacturers offer dozens of fillers with different functions and features that are easily confused.

After analyzing the recommendations of experts, we have identified several characteristics that make the blanket the best for sleeping. Hypoallergenic is the main quality, because the filler should not cause health problems. Judging by the reviews, not less important property is breathability, the ability to "breathe". We also paid attention to the ability to absorb moisture and maintain shape.

Each blanket has a level of warmth, which largely depends on the filler. This characteristic is indicated on the label in the form of the sun on a scale of 1 to 5 (the warmest). From this depends on the choice of the model for the summer and winter. Some materials are able to regulate temperature and are suitable for year-round use. We also included them in the list of the best.

The last thing we noticed is fillers for children. They must have all the properties of blankets for adults, be very light and keep in shape. Baby blankets have to wash more often, so we took into account the operating conditions.

TOP - 10 best blanket fillers

10 Sintepon

The synthetic winterizer is a cheap, soft filler which consists of the polyester fibers processed in a special way. These blankets weigh very little and retain their heat very well. Thanks to the insignificant weight and availability of a synthetic winterizer use for children's goods for a dream. It is very durable and elastic, easily takes the form of the body, and then returns its original appearance. Before selling the filler passes tests and receives certificates, so it is almost safe. The only precaution is glue allergy, which is used in the manufacture of padding polyester.

This filler can last for quite a long time if you carefully care for it. It is recommended to wash it by hand or dry clean it, otherwise you may damage the fibers. We considered restrictions to be a significant minus, under which he is able to maintain a comfortable temperature: down to minus 10. In cold winters he will not be able to keep warm and warm the person. Another drawback is the weak air circulation, so you can sweat on hot days. If you frequently wash the synthetic winterizer, it will lose up to 50% of its thickness.

9 Eucalyptus

Each parent probably knows the healing properties of eucalyptus. As a filler, it secretes essential oil and fights against fungi and bacteria. This material is the only one in the ranking of natural antiseptic. Judging by the reviews of moms on the forums, a eucalyptus blanket helps children to get less pain and improves their sleep. Adults enjoy the relaxing effect of filler and ease of use. It is enough to pull it out of the cabinet, shake and ready! After waking up, there is a feeling of lightness, and with proper care a blanket will last up to 10 years.

The undoubted advantage is the possibility of washing in the car. When buying it is recommended to pay attention to the label.If the filler is of high quality, the manufacturer will allow it to be washed in the machine. In this lies a minus: it is very difficult to find a 100% eucalyptus blanket, and the material mixed with other fibers loses most of the antiseptic properties. Most often it is diluted with viscose and wool, sometimes cotton and bamboo are added. This blanket is cheaper, but can not be called the best. A natural eucalyptus filler smells very strongly, even obsessively. Not everyone can get used to the smell.

8 Holofiber

Holofiber is a synthetic material that has the highest resilience. The fibers are twisted in a special way to form springs that quickly restore shape. They are compressed by the weight of a person, and then straightened. Thanks to the winding structure, the blanket retains heat and does not let in cold air. This filler has a unique resistance to burning, which, unlike natural fibers, does not ignite. Hollofayber does not keep unpleasant smells and is absolutely not toxic. The main thing is to check the certificates of conformity to the standards before purchase.

Although holofiber is a synthetic material, it is often used to make children's clothing and products for sleeping. It can be washed in any way, it is very stress-resistant to tearing efforts. Despite the advantages, he has enough cons too. Unlike natural materials, a hollofiber for 5-8 years loses its pomp and caked, it has to be thrown away. It is required to manually beat the filler regularly to prolong its effectiveness. Despite the departure, over time, the fibers break, nothing can be done about it.

7 Camel filler

Camel filler has appeared in the rating due to its unique property: it does not dust itself, because it does not accumulate electrical charges. It is suitable for people with respiratory problems, buyers say that the blanket relaxes the muscles. Camel wool acts on the principle of thermal underwear, retaining heat even on the coldest night. Judging by the reviews, buyers fall asleep faster and quieter. Fibers pass air, not allowing the body to sopret or overheat. Due to the rapid evaporation of moisture, the wool is slightly cleaned, therefore, to care for it is quite simple.

Camel filler is 100% natural material, therefore it is suitable for allergies and people with hypersensitivity. Quality wool has an antibacterial effect, although not as strong as that of the next position in the ranking. Since the fibers inside are hollow, the blankets are almost weightless. It is enough to send it to the washing machine once in 3 months, and it will last for several decades. Although there is a minus filler, because of which we could not put it higher. It collects dust mites and moths, so a couple of times a year it is required to process and ventilate for 4-6 hours. The blanket cannot be ironed after washing, otherwise the fibers will become rigid.

6 Sheep filler

The healing properties of sheep's wool were known to our grandmothers, who tied scarves on the lower back. It is not surprising that blankets with this filler quickly gained popularity and appeared in our ranking. They help with problems with the spine and joints, soothing the aching body. Sheep wool is able to absorb up to 30% of its weight, it is always dry and warm. The fibers do not trap dust and moisture, which is suitable for children. The blanket neutralizes odors and toxins that are contained in the sweat. This natural antiseptic provides a comfortable sleep, despite some drawbacks.

One of the advantages of sheep wool is low cost. If you compare it with the leaders of the rating, this filler is mined much easier, which affects the price. However, there are also a lot of minuses: wool very quickly forms lumps, which will have to be broken up by hands. With improper care, dust mites can settle in it.It is impossible to wash wool with a typewriter, and not everyone can wash a heavy blanket by hand. With improper care, the filler will start to smell, and it is almost impossible to get rid of the smell by yourself. Some people are allergic to wool, so it is recommended to be careful.

5 Bamboo

In the middle of the ranking is bamboo, which has unique antibacterial properties. Fungi, mites and bacteria cannot exist in its fibers, making the filler ideal for allergy sufferers. Even after many years of operation and a lot of washes, bamboo will be free from pests. Judging by the reviews, these blankets advise people with skin inflammations and problems with the airways. It is ideal for children and hypersensitive shoppers. Unlike some other natural fillers, bamboo is easy to wash and iron. An important property of the material is the preservation of color and natural protection against fading.

One of the main advantages of bamboo, we considered thermoregulation: in the winter under it is not cold, and in the summer - not hot. The filler is pleasant to touch, there are no prickly particles in it. Fibers very quickly absorb moisture and dry, remaining dry even in heat. Despite the advantages, we were unable to put it in a position higher: the majority of blankets on the market represent a mixture of bamboo and feather, which greatly reduces the unique material properties. This filler weighs almost nothing, at first it will seem as if something is missing. You will have to get used to such a blanket, and there is no guarantee that you will like the new sensations.

4 Cotton

Not so long ago, cotton was the most common material due to its low cost and good properties. With the advent of modern technology, this filler began to serve much longer. He earned a high place in the rating due to good thermoregulation, that is, the ability to maintain a comfortable body temperature. Buyers in the reviews say that they buy filler for the cold season. Indeed, it is one of the warmest, but breathable. In the summer under a blanket of cheap material may be hot. High-quality filler has an effective air exchange, which does not allow the body to overheat.

When buying a cotton blanket, you must consider the method of collecting raw materials: only manually collected and combed fibers become airy and lightweight. The second important quality is the solution with which the material has been processed, the durability and the risk of dust mites occurrence depends on it. Cotton blankets can and should be washed regularly to clean the fibers from dust. For children, it is not very suitable, as it weighs about 4 kilograms. We considered bad moisture exchange an important minus. The filler absorbs moisture, but does not evaporate it, remaining wet.

3 Linen

Modern linen blankets are made using a special technology that prevents deformation of the filler and allows you to use the product for decades. He, like other natural materials, has useful properties: excellent thermal control and the ability to absorb moisture. And flax is able to hold up to 12% of water by weight of the entire blanket. It does not electrify and does not absorb odors. Dust mites and moths do not settle in this filler. Flax is suitable for children and adults, protecting them from freezing and overheating. Little guys won't sweat or sweat.

Flax is indicated for people with asthma and allergies, as it does not cause reactions, and some believe it prevents them. Judging by the reviews of buyers suffering from ARVI, they began to sleep better under this blanket.We were able to find the cause: this is due to good air circulation among the fibers and the absence of dust particles that could get into the respiratory tract. However, the cost of linen blankets is greatly overestimated, especially considering the problems with exploitation. Everyone knows that flax very wrinkled after washing, will have to spend a lot of time to keep it in good condition. Substandard filler will clump up, which will have to be broken.

2 Silk

The top three included silk, which is famous for its ability to maintain a comfortable body temperature during sleep. It absorbs moisture well and dries quickly. All blankets with these fillers are divided into 2 categories: tussa and mulberry. The first one is sold at a bargain price, but it has a slight drawback: coarse fibers that need to be lightened, bleached and made soft with chemicals. This silk is no longer completely natural, so it is not suitable for people with allergies. Mulbury, on the other hand, is several times more expensive, but not processed by chemistry. To obtain this type of filler, silkworms are specially grown and fed with special leaves, which affects the cost.

The undoubted advantage of silk is its naturalness, because even cheaper material consists of its fibers. Expensive option does not need processing and is used for blankets and pillows for many years, earning a huge amount of positive feedback. At the same time, everyone can choose the cost in accordance with their capabilities. Despite the advantages, there is silk and a big minus. Find a quality product is almost impossible, since the market was filled with fakes. Without feeling the blanket, it is very difficult to determine whether it is imitation or natural silk.

1 Cashmere

In the first place we put the elite cashmere filler, which is the warmest type of wool. It is harvested from a Kashmir goat manually, only this way unique properties are preserved. These blankets are considered among the best, as the finest fibers create small airbags, allowing the material to "breathe." Cashmere is light enough, but, judging by the reviews, it still feels on the body. There is no feeling as if you are sleeping without a blanket. In winter, this material retains heat, in the summer it does not sweat and maintains a comfortable body temperature.

The undoubted advantage of the filler is durability, because after 10 years, cashmere will not get off and not roll (with proper care). The blanket keeps its shape well and does not wrinkle much. Cashmere is a completely natural material, which reduces the risk of an allergic reaction. Due to the unique properties of dust mites, the moisture does not linger in the fibers. Parents note that they buy cashmere blankets for children who sleep restlessly and spin a lot. However, no wonder the filler is considered elite. A significant disadvantage is the overestimated cost, because for one blanket it is required to collect wool from 15 or 20 goats. Because of the price, many will choose a different filler, although its unique properties are not found anywhere else.
