Choosing Blankets: Tips and Ideas

Decorating the home and the different rooms is always a fun and exciting activity.  The first step, unless you already have furniture and beddings prior to moving in, is shopping for the things needed to complete the home.  For the bedroom, it’s always the beddings, pillows, and blankets that should be at the top of your list.  If you just moved into a new home and are about to shop for beddings and blankets, this article is going to help You Choose wisely among the thousands of brands and types of blankets being sold in stores nationwide.  You will realize how important it is to choose wisely because both the health of your family and your overall budget will depend on your decisions.

  • Before getting ready to drive to the home depot or the department store, take some time to browse through online stores selling products for the home.  You’ll discover just how vast these stores are, how wide their variety of items is, and of course how cheap the prices are compared to retail prices at the mall.  If you think you can analyze and visualize the items just by reading product descriptions, buying online may be the best choice for you.
  • If you can’t wait and need those beddings immediately, then it’s off to the home depot store for you.  The first criterion when choosing blankets is fabric content.  This is going to take up a large part of the decision making process, so make sure to check on the kind of fabric being used and ask around for help.  There are two kinds: natural fibers and synthetic fibers.
    • Natural fiber blankets can be quite expensive, but they provide optimum durability and breathability because of the natural materials being used during manufacture.  Most people find natural fiber blankets more comfortable to use, so if you think the comfort and health of your family is more important than price, this is the type of blanket for you.
    • Synthetic fiber blankets are much cheaper than natural fiber ones but they lack breathability due to the materials being used.  Examples of synthetic fiber blankets include acrylic, fleece, and vellux.  These blankets, particularly acrylic blankets, provide warmth during cold seasons and are much more affordable.
  • The next criterion is the construction or weaving of the blankets.  This focuses more on the warmth and insulation being provided by the blankets.  If you live in areas where it is normally cold or hot, this is an important factor to look into when shopping for blankets. There are two types of weaving: thermal and conventional.
    • Thermal blankets are typical for those who are “warm sleepers”.  They are loosely woven and made with acrylic or cotton fibers that allow the smooth circulation of air during sleep.  Body heat escapes easily with this type of blanket, so buy this if you normally feel warm during the evenings.
    • Conventional blankets, on the other hand, are for those who are sensitive to the cold and need more insulation during the night.  Made with synthetic or wool fibers, conventional blankets are tightly woven and provide more warmth.

what would be some durable oriental-style bedding?

I really want to create a zen bedroom. I'm going to need a blanket or quilt. It was recommended that I get raw silk. But that is expensive and not too durable. I have 2 cats!

Can someone recommend some oriental style bedding that would be more durable?
