When you choose a new blanket, whether you like it or not, you are faced with strange numbers. Information on the site or a consultant in the store informs that the density is the same. But is it always clear to the client what these numbers mean and which one to choose? Now let's try to tell everything…
The density of the blanket is the same as the thickness of the filler. That is, it indicates which layer of filler is inside. Accordingly, if there is more filler, the blanket is warmer. The standard density is measured in grams per square meter.
Today's manufacturers offer the following types of blankets:
- Summer
- All-season
- Winter
But such a classification is always approximate. After all, there is no single standard, and manufacturers are allowed to experiment with creating collections. Therefore, in order to determine how warm the product you choose, it is more convenient to focus on the density.
100-150 g/m2 is a thin summer blanket. The vast majority of the summer have a density of 150, but there are exceptions. So, for example, in the range of IDEIA the blanket of 4 seasons has summer with a density of 100 g/m2.
250 g/m2 - this will be a demi-season option. Blanket for autumn and spring, sometimes the sites indicate that it is all-season, but most likely, in winter under such a blanket will not be very comfortable, unless you have a very good heating in the house.
300 g/m2 - a typical all-season blanket. The most common option for winter. But under this it will be comfortable in late autumn, winter, early spring, and in general, if summer is not set - it can also be very ok. It will all depend on many factors. Sometimes on the sites it is marked as winter, sometimes as all-season. So again, it's easier to focus on density.
400 g/m2 - this option is not as common as 300. But in the IDEIA collection there are several models with this density. We have them marked as especially warm. Such blankets will be comfortable in regions with severe winters, if you know that you do not have much heating, if you treat people who are constantly freezing.
Now you know everything we know about density.
