If we talk about the disadvantages, then you can select only one, namely a low level of hygroscopicity. That is, such a blanket does not absorb water well, so for people who suffer from hyperhidrosis (increased sweating) it will not work, especially in summer.

This product does not have any other significant drawbacks. Some people refer to the disadvantages and the possibility of concentration of static electricity by this product. Indeed, this sometimes happens, but only in cases where the air in the room is too dry. If you solve all the problems with humidity in the room, such a minus you can easily be avoided.

But the most important thing is that there are more pluses than swan fluff blankets than minuses, and they are more significant.

Types

At the very beginning of this article, it was said that such products come with both natural and artificial fillers. In this case, the first type is extremely rare. In turn, the blanket with artificial filler also has several varieties:

  1. Winter. It is characterized by greater height, increased softness and a large amount of filler inside. Such models are designed specifically for the cold season, as they have an increased level of heat preservation and warming of the human body. The fabric from which the sewn outer part of the blanket is poplex, which is considered a subspecies of poplin. The peculiarity of this material is its structure, because 70% is pure cotton.
  1. All season the blanket has an average thickness, and it is indicated by the manufacturer with three checkmarks on the label. The composition, besides the fiber of the swan's down, usually includes a small amount of microfiber, which in winter enhances the heating properties of the down itself, and in the summer, on the contrary, reduces it. Outdoor textiles are usually cotton or poplin.
  1. Summer blankets from swan down. This characteristic is not entirely correct and it is based only on the thickness of the product.Indeed, in the sale of such products with a minimum amount of filler. For summer, they are suitable only for those people who are constantly freezing and prefer refined gentleness, and not coolness at night. Such models are often labeled as lightweight blankets.

All these three types of blankets have several common features: softness, light weight, hygroscopicity, as well as the possibility of accumulation of static electricity, especially in rooms with too dry air.

It is worth noting that the blankets differ from each other not only in their appearance, but also in price. So, the most expensive is considered a winter product, and the cheapest - summer. The cost, of course, affects the size of the blanket.

Dimensions

It is according to the size of these products are divided into several groups:

  • children's models have dimensions of 110x140 cm and 140x140 cm;
  • A 1,5-bedroom product is one whose dimensions are 140x205 cm or 150x200 cm;
  • double blankets have a size of 172x205 cm;
  • Euro-sized double products are blankets with dimensions of 200x220 cm and 210x240 cm.

As you can see, among such an assortment, every potential buyer will be able to choose for himself the most suitable type of blanket with a filler of swan's down.

How to choose?

Before you go to the store, you need to decide, first of all, with the size of the future blanket. They must be chosen not only on the basis of the bed size, but also on such parameters as the number of people sleeping under it, their age and size, and behavior during sleep. Childish models will be appropriate only if the child’s age does not exceed 10 years. In all other cases, it is better to purchase one and a half-sleeping blankets. Those who sleep together, and even intensively tossing and turning in their sleep, should pay attention to the double products of the size of Euro.

Now you need to decide on the thickness of the blanket. If you are cold all the time and have a fragile physique, then it is better to purchase a winter version for the whole year. For those who can use space to keep both the winter and summer version of the blanket, you can buy two at once. If you purchase such a product for the first time, then stop the choice on the all-season version. With it, you will be able to evaluate on yourself all the pros and cons of such a filler as swan's down, and then it will be easier to decide on the specific choice of blanket.

The cover material of the blanket can be chosen to your taste.It can be poplin, pure cotton, microfiber or even satin. By the way, satin blankets with such filler are often used as blankets, not wearing duvet covers on them.

It is necessary to give preference to more well-known manufacturers, reviews of which are positive. So you can be sure that you acquire a really high-quality and useful thing.

And do not forget that you can buy a whole set at once, which will consist not only of a blanket, but also of pillows. Such a set can also act as a good gift, which will definitely be appreciated.

If there is an opportunity, it is better to purchase a blanket, which is sold complete with protective cover. As a rule, it is very thin and not perceptible, but it protects the product itself from any kind of dirt. If necessary, it can be easily washed, and the blanket itself is just ventilated. During operation, the cover is worn directly on the product, and already a duvet cover is put on top of it.

Following these simple recommendations, reviews of which only confirm their effectiveness, you can easily choose for yourself the perfect duvet,which will meet all your requirements. And most importantly, at the same time you will save both time and nerves.

How to care?

After the desired blanket was purchased, in the course of its operation, sooner or later there is a question about how to properly care for it, so that it fully retains all its useful qualities as long as possible.

First, the blanket must be regularly aired. This is best done in the open air. To do this, it is necessary to take it out onto the street, hang it straight and leave it for 2-3 hours. The frequency of the procedure - 1-2 times in six months. Such through ventilation contributes to the enrichment of the filler with oxygen and increase its softness and durability.

Depending on the degree of contamination, the product must be washed at least once every six months. The optimum water temperature is 35 degrees, while you can perform both hand washing and machine washing, the main thing is to choose the delicate mode. It is not allowed to use any aggressive detergents in the form of bleach or stain remover.

Drying such products is best on a flat and level surface.Too squeezing them before it is not worth it, as this can lead to deformation of the filler. If it is not possible to dry the blanket horizontally, you can simply hang it on the clothesline in full length and width, attaching only one side with clothespins.

If, after washing or airing, the blanket is slightly wrinkled, it should not be ironed in any case. This is the first. It deforms the filler itself, and secondly, the fabric may suffer from the outside.

If you do not have the opportunity to wash such a product on your own or you are in doubt that you can do everything correctly, you can always do it in dry cleaning. In this case, there will be exactly followed all the rules of washing and drying the blanket of swan's down.

Following all these useful tips will allow you to preserve not only the qualitative characteristics of the blanket, but also their attractive appearance for a long time.

The main thing is to follow all of the above tips on choosing and operating swan-down blankets,and then you will experience first-hand their high quality and comfort.
