1. Types of blankets

Common types of blankets on the market include: coral fleece, flannel, raschel, wool fleece, etc. Among them, coral fleece, flannel, and raschel are the three types of blankets that people are most likely to confuse. Among them, coral velvet and flannel are both fabric names.

The raw material of coral fleece blanket is generally polyester (chemical fiber fabric). The fleece is named after its coral shape. It is easy to generate static electricity in winter and is easy to deform and shed after washing. Since the process is the simplest, the price is relatively cheap.

The raw material of flannel blankets is generally woolen fabric mixed with wool. The flannel blanket has soft fluff, tight fabric and good warmth retention. Compared with coral velvet, it has better texture and comfort, and the cost is higher than coral velvet. It is usually considered to be an upgraded version of coral velvet.

The raw material of Raschel blanket is mainly acrylic (chemical fiber fabric), also known as synthetic wool. It is named after it is knitted using a Raschel warp knitting machine. The knitted blanket is thick and does not shed easily, and the fluff is soft and fluffy to the touch. The warmth retention will not be affected after washing, and it will not be inadvertently deformed. Raschel blankets come in richer colors than regular blankets.

These three types of blankets are relatively common on the market. The price of Raschel is relatively high, but the finished product produced by its weaving method is not easy to shed and has a fluffy surface and a better feel than the other two blankets. Within the acceptable price range, you can give priority to Raschel blankets.

The fabrics of flannel and coral velvet are the same, but flannel is an upgraded version of coral velvet. Its warmth retention and texture are higher than coral velvet, but the cost is lower than raschel. The production process of coral velvet is the simplest and the price is relatively Cheap.

Therefore, within the price range, you can choose flannel blankets, followed by coral fleece blankets.
