Traditionally a quilt composes three layers of fibre. A woven cloth on top, a layer of batting and a woven back are the three layers that are stitched together in decorative patterns. People prefer to buy them during quilt sale as they could fetch them at a very low price.
In recent times, people prefer to shop for quilts online, as there are many models and in a wide range of price. The e-commerce sites generally have objects of the latest trend. In recent times, ‘feather and down’ and ‘down-like’ models are in huge demand. These duets are known to provide extreme comfort.
Feather and down duvets are made from duck or goose feathers. They are popularly used in cold climates mainly because they offer good insulation and help in keeping people warm and cosy in peak winters. These breathable type of duets are very light while the feather duets are bulky and add substance to the duvet. These duets trap larger pockets of air, which helps in making the blanket light but warm. The higher the proportion of down, the lighter the duvet, at the same time it is warmer as well. A well-maintained feather and down duvet will last for many years. These quilts can be washable or dry cleaning service can be preferred.
Few things to consider while selecting the quilt are
- While choosing the quilt, people should consider the filling of the duet. The duet should have a filling that is comfortable but should not add weight to the duet. At the same time, a lightweight filling would be quite expensive.
- The construction of the quilt should be correct. A cassette or boxed construction ensures that the filling remains in place, eliminating cold spots and unnecessary movement of the fill.
- The covering should be stitched properly, taking care that the filling does not seep out slowly, emptying the duet completely.
- The material used for stitching the outer cover should be soft. Few prefer it to be cotton as the material is breathable, durable, washable and draws moisture from perspiration.
- If people are living in an extremely cold region, a quilt that provides warmth from the chilling winter should be chosen, for little warmer climates, a combination of down and feather can be chosen, always considering the budget as well.
It is ideal to shop for duets online stores so that people can be assured of the quality, only if the e-commerce sites are reliable.
