FIVE-STAR HOTEL COVERS UP SO COMFORTABLE curious what is made of, want to move back home?
In fact, high-end hotels are basically high-quality duvets, these quilts not only have first-class thermal effect, but
also have high requirements for smell and cleanliness. Among them, hanbi and other brands are common
five-star hotels
Why a good hotel bedding will make us feel clearly different from other materials of the quilt fluffy and warm, cotton, down and other materials
in the end have what special magic, how should we choose a really high-quality hotel bedding? Today we are going to explore the secrets
hidden inside the quilt.
HEAT RETENTION PROPERTY
Five-star hotel bedding is commonly used goose down quilt, compared with duck down, in different volume fractions of goose down
fiber thermal conductivity is smaller than duck down fiber, with better thermal insulation performance. This is mainly determined by
the morphological structure of the fiber. Through the observation of the morphology and structure of goose down fiber and duck down
fiber, we found that in general, compared with duck down fiber, goose down fiber has larger velvet blossoms, smaller velvet nuclei,
longer and thicker velvet branches, longer and thinner velvet branchlets and more small and evenly distributed nodes on the velvet
branchlets. This morphological structure enables goose down fibers to maintain better fluffiness, capture more air at the same time
the air is well fixed in its interior, greatly increasing the thermal resistance of the fiber collection body, so as to maintain better thermal
performance.
COMPRESSIVE RESILIENCE
Because goose down fiber is longer and the nodes are small and uniform, goose down fiber has better compressibility than duck down
during the compression process. When the external force is released, the smaller node has less resistance to the fiber bending recovery
so that the fiber assembly has better compression resilience, and the macro performance is that the assembly is more soft and elastic.
SMELL
It is believed that the smell of carboxylic acids and ester compounds may be the main components of down odor, and the mixing of
various volatile compounds causes the unique odor of down. Among them, bird species and cleanliness are the two main factors
affecting the smell of wool. Under normal circumstances, goose down odor performance is better than duck down.
SO HOW TO CHOOSE THE HOTEL BEDDING DUVET?
1.DOWN SPECIES
Under normal circumstances (the exception is that an old duck's velvet is better than a young goose's), The big bully wins the small
Goose down has a larger velvet flower, the structural characteristics are more conducive to retaining still air, the product feels softer
the resilience is better, and the odor performance is better, so it is recommended to choose goose down filling within the budget, which
is also the reason why the quilt pillows or high-quality down jackets of high-end five-star hotels are mainly goose down rather than
duck down
2.DOWN CONTENT
The amount of filling is the total amount of down used in the whole quilt, pay attention to how much is not blindly pursuing the amount
of filling, because it also depends on the quality of the filling of down, if the quality of the inside of the velvet is poor, the content is low,
such as velvet, wool, feather, feather shaft, chicken fly, dust, these things are more, the amount of filling that is the weight, but what is
good for us? Therefore, one-sided pursuit of cashmere is not desirable, on the contrary, excellent cashmere does not need too much
can also achieve good thermal effect. Under the premise that the quality and content of cashmere are the same, the filling amount is
proportional to the cost;
3.FILLING CAPACITY
1)Fluffy is the core index of down quilt purchase!
The factors that determine the fluffy degree are many factors, such as the type of velvet (number of velvet/length/scale of velvet branches)
(and quality (composition ratio, content of velvet, size of velvet blossoms).
For the same velvet content, the same quality of down products, the larger the velvet, the better the elasticity, the higher the fluffy will be
the thicker the insulation layer, and the better the warmth and comfort will be shown in the end, the higher the quality of the product.
4.CLEANLINESS (TRANSPARENCY/TURBIDITY)
Cleanliness, also known as transparency/turbidity, reflects the cleanliness of the down filler. The cleanliness is high, indicating that the down
is fully cleaned, does not contain more grease and residue, and can also remove more odor. If the cleanliness of the down filling is not good,
the down jacket is easy to penetrate the dirt in the down into the surface of the clothing during the wearing process, especially the oil penetration
is easy to form oil stains on the surface of the clothing, and it is not easy to clean, so the cleanliness of the down jacket is one of the important
factors in the internal quality of the down jacket.
5.PECULIAR SMELL
Again warm duvet, if the smell is very bad, I guess no one can bear it, after all, the quilt is too close to our respiratory tract! Therefore, the odor
problem of down products is very much in need of attention. Previously, we said that the size of the odor of down products is closely related to
the source of down species and treatment technology, and the finished product is reflected in the cleanliness, oxygen consumption, the content
of four major microorganisms, residual fat rate and other quantified indicators, the relevant testing standard is still the national standard GBT 10288-2016 "Down feather test Method".
When we buy, in addition to looking at the relevant labels, we can also smell whether there is an obvious odor. Generally, the better the cleanliness
and the higher the quality of the duvet, the better the odor performance.
It should be noted that oxygen consumption is not necessarily positively related to the number of microorganisms, and some finishing agents or
post-treatment agents added by manufacturers may produce REDOX reactions with potassium permanganate, resulting in excessive oxygen
consumption during the test. Therefore, GB/T 17685-2003 pointed out: when the oxygen consumption exceeds 10mg, the microbial indicators
are tested, and the microbial indicators are qualified, which can be regarded as qualified.
THE FABRIC HAS TO BE CHOSEN WELL
1.Drill pile problem
After seeing the appearance of velvet, it is easy to understand that in fact, the real velvet is not easy to drill out, and it is easy to run out
of the feather and velvet, so the higher the content of the duvet, the more difficult it is to drill velvet. The second is the fabric problem,
high-count high-density 9 fabric is easier to trap the velvet, so that they do not run
2.Sound problem
The more difficult it is to drill high-count and high-density fabrics, the louder the sound is often emitted during the process of contact and
friction deformation with the human body when sleeping. There is no absolutely perfect solution for this at present, I hope you can understand.
But good fabrics - generally not large enough to affect the degree of sleep
3.Odor problem
Yes, the fabric will also have odor problems, if the shell quality is not good enough, there may be formaldehyde/can decompose aromatic
amine 9 dyes and other harmful substances exceeded the problem, and accompanied by odor.
4.Poor workmanship is useless
Although the down is warm, it must be done, if the local down is missing/too little because of the uneven filling, the amount of lint/slack is insufficient, the
unreasonable design of the partition space and other process problems, then the thermal performance will be greatly reduced. Obviously a good velvet may
make people feel like buying a fake duvet, it will be very wrong.
SUMMARIZE PURCHASING SKILL POINTS
Look -- Check whether the product label information is complete. Down feathers should be marked with the type of filling, velvet content and
filling amount, some products will also express the volume information;
Press - the down feathers are paved, natural recovery, and then press with the hand, then release, see if the rebound, if the rebound is slow,
indicating that the quality of the filling material is not good;
Touch - Use the hand to test the quilt filling, there should be no thick long hair, feather stalk or short thick hard feather shaft in the duvet,
except feathers;
Smell - It is normal for down to have a slight odor. After unpacking and spreading out for a certain period of time, if there is still an obvious
smell, there may be quality problems;
Weigh - weigh the down feather comforter by hand, fold the down feather comforter, the larger the volume and the lighter the weight, usually
the better the comfort.
