The correct way to cover a blanket

‌The correct way to cover a blanket‌ mainly includes the following methods, each of which has its own unique warmth-keeping effect and usage scenarios:

‌Cover a blanket first and then a quilt‌: This method has a poor warmth-keeping effect, because there are fewer gaps between the fibers of a blanket, and it is difficult to dissipate heat after accumulating heat, thus weakening the warmth-keeping effect of the quilt. ‌

‌Cover a quilt first and then a blanket‌: This method has a slightly better warmth-keeping effect. Quilts are relatively fluffy, and after the body transfers heat to the quilt, the quilt will expand and accumulate more hot air, and then transfer the heat back to the human body, which has a better warmth-keeping effect.

‌Sandwich covering method‌: That is, covering a quilt on a blanket, this method can achieve complete warmth-keeping. The sandwich covering method of laying a blanket on the bottom and a quilt on the top can achieve the effect of locking the body's upper and lower temperatures. ‌

Material selection of blankets
Choosing the right material can improve the warmth retention and comfort:

‌Allergy-prone constitution: cotton quilts and silk quilts are suitable, because they are soft and highly hygroscopic, and will not absorb dust, bacteria and other fine particles due to static electricity, thereby reducing the accumulation of allergic substances.
‌Hyperhidrosis and body heat constitution: chemical fiber quilts and down quilts are suitable, because they are hygroscopic and breathable.
‌Fear of cold and weak constitution: comfortable and warm wool quilts, light and warm down quilts that do not press the body are suitable. Note: Asthma patients should not use down quilts. ‌
‌Elderly people: silk quilts and down quilts are suitable, because the elderly have slow blood circulation and may suffer from chronic cardiovascular diseases. Silk quilts and down quilts can avoid causing a sense of oppression.
‌Infants and young children: silk quilts are suitable, because infants and young children sweat a lot and have delicate skin, their body immunity is relatively poor, and their respiratory systems are still in the development stage, so they should not be covered with too heavy quilts.
Pregnant women: Choose a down quilt to avoid a feeling of oppression.
