What are the types of blankets?

Common types of blankets on the market include coral velvet, flannel, raschel, wool, etc. Among them, coral velvet, flannel, and raschel are the three most easily confused blankets. Among them, coral velvet and flannel are both fabric names.

The raw material of coral velvet is generally polyester (synthetic fiber fabric), named after its coral like appearance. In winter, it is prone to static electricity, and after washing, it is prone to deformation and hair loss. Due to the simplest process, the price is relatively cheap.

The raw material of flannel is usually a coarse woolen fabric mixed with wool, with soft down, tight fabric, and good warmth retention. Compared to coral velvet, it has better texture and comfort, and has a higher cost. It is usually considered an upgraded version of coral velvet.

The main raw material of Raschel is acrylic fiber (synthetic fiber fabric), known as synthetic wool, which is woven using Raschel warp knitting machines. The woven blanket is thick and not easy to shed hair, and the plush feel is soft and fluffy. After washing, the warmth retention will not be affected and will not deform inadvertently. The color of Raschel blankets is more diverse than that of regular blankets.

These three types of blankets are quite common on the market, and the Raschel price is relatively high. However, the finished product made by its weaving method is not easy to shed fluffy and has a better feel than the other two types of blankets. Within the acceptable price range, priority can be given to choosing Raschel blankets.

The fabric of flannel and coral velvet is the same, but flannel is an upgraded version of coral velvet, with higher warmth and texture than coral velvet. However, the cost is lower than Raschel, and the production process of coral velvet is the simplest, and the price is relatively cheap.

So within the price budget range, you can choose flannel blankets, followed by coral plush blankets.
