Natural fiber Quilts versus Synthetic Fiber Quilts

You may think that a quilt with synthetic filling will be better than a naturally filled one, prefer the modern to the traditional. But you would probably feel differently if you got a chance to make a proper comparison.

User trials conducted by an independent market research company over a two month period showed that, given the chance to try sleeping under both natural and synthetic quilts, an amazing 75% of users said they preferred the natural quilts.

There are many reasons for this:

First, naturally filled quilts breathe in a way synthetic quilts cannot. So the moisture lost by your body while you sleep is absorbed overnight, and then gradually lost in the morning when the quilt is aired. When you sleep under a synthetic quilt, there is nowhere for that moisture to go resulting in a sticky feeling.

Second, natural quilts drape better round the lumps and bumps of your body than synthetics, which can be rather stiff. Because you can snuggle into it better, a natural quilt will usually feel warmer on a chilly night than a synthetic quilt of the same thickness, even if both are new.

Thirdly, a natural quilt will almost always be lighter than a synthetic one. Natural fillings bring warmth without weight, for a really comfortable, natural sleep.
