Decorating one's home, especially if you have just moved in to a new house, should be fun and exciting. This is your chance to choose colors, designs, and brands of furniture, beddings, and other household items ( like blankets) to compliment the ambience of your home.
Choosing blankets to buy for the bedroom can actually be quite confusing, especially if you are very particular with the materials being used and the sizes needed for each bed. You have tons of online and offline stores selling all kinds of blankets and all kinds of brands, so choosing one can take hours, maybe even days, till you are satisfied with your purchase.
Here are a few tips on how to choose blankets with regards to the materials being used and the different kinds of blankets according to size and function.
The first item on your criteria should be fabric content. Fabrics are available in both natural and synthetic fibers, so it would depend on you which type is best for your home and for your family.
Blankets made with natural fibers are durable and promote breath ability when used. Most people find these more comfortable to use because of these two traits, so if you are after comfortable and breathable blankets, look for those that are made with natural fibers. Some examples of natural fiber blankets include cotton, wool, and down blankets.
Blankets made with synthetic fibers, on the other hand, prioritize warmth and are much cheaper as compared to those made naturally. The only downside to this type is that they lack breathability and can be uncomfortable during hotter seasons. Popular examples of synthetic fiber blankets include acrylic, fleece, and vellux blankets. Acrylic blankets are especially cheaper than natural fiber blankets plus they provide warmth, are soft to the touch, and are hypo-allergenic.
