What are they?
Modern blankets and bedspreads like "weed" are different. They are classified into different types according to several main criteria. First of all, according to the material of manufacture.
- Microfiber. Fluffy bedspreads made from this material are very popular. Microfiber does not require complex maintenance, is highly durable and wear-resistant, retains saturated colors for a long time, does not form pellets on the surface, actively absorbs moisture, and then dries quickly. But it should be borne in mind that blankets made of such material create a static charge, they cannot be ironed.
- Polyester. Material widely used in production. It is very pleasant to the touch, is characterized by increased strength, is resistant to stretching and friction, has a low weight, and is easy to care for. Polyester blankets do not absorb odors, are relatively inexpensive, and are presented in a huge assortment.
However, these species are also electrified, can shrink under the influence of high temperatures.

Faux fur products are wear-resistant, moisture-resistant, presented in a huge assortment of various colors, and retain heat perfectly. The things in question are not interesting for moths, they are easy to clean, they can be washed in a washing machine. But you need to take into account that artificial fur blankets create static electricity, pellets often appear on them, dust is attracted to the surface.
- Fleece. Material that is not afraid of mechanical impact. Fleece blankets and bedspreads do not fade in the sun, do not cause allergic reactions, and are completely unpretentious. Such products can be dry-cleaned, machine washed. This material also does not arouse interest in the moth. However, fleece also builds up static voltage.
- Natural wool. These types of blankets are characterized by a very beautiful appearance and warmth. They have a positive effect on human health. Woolen bedspreads promote blood circulation activation, perfectly absorb moisture, wash easily, and are designed for a long service life. But you need to know that woolen specimens can cause an allergic reaction, some models are prickly. In addition, such products are often expensive, and the assortment of their colors is rather scarce.
