AGAINST COLD NIGHTS

Down blankets are great for places whose winters can get really cold and nippy. These down blankets offer great insulation from the cold because of their thick fill which traps the heat inside, thus keeping you warm through the cold nights.

Down blankets are not like your ordinary blankets. Unlike regular blankets that have one layer of material, a down blanket is made of two layers of cloth, with a filling in between. The filling may be made of fibers, or premium goose feathers. This layering creates the extra warmth that is needed to protect you from the cold.

Down blankets are especially good used as a swaddle blanket for new born babies. Very young babies need extra protection from the cold because their temperature regulation is immature and cannot properly regulate itself. As a swaddle blanket, these down blankets will wrap your delicate baby in warmth and softness that will certainly relax and comfort him.

KNOW WHAT TO BUY

When buying down blankets, you do not just buy the first thing that you see. Another thing to consider is your budget. If you have the money, you can buy the top of the line goose down blankets made of pure, non-irritating goose feathers. For those on a budget, there are down blankets made of down fibers, which can either be cotton or combined with synthetic materials.
Another option is to buy down blankets that combine both goose feathers and down material. You get the softness and luxury of goose feathers without the high cost.

If you are on the market for down blankets, an important consideration is the thread count. Thread count determines how fine the weaving of the blanket. A higher thread count means that there are more threads per unit of measure in the fabric. If your blanket has a low thread count then the down may very easily show through the blanket and eventually slip out of it.
