Fiber thermal conductivity
The quilt material hinders the ability of the bedding to conduct heat to escape;
Still air in the fabric
To put it simply, the quilt is fluffy or not fluffy, because the ability of still air to lock in temperature is very strong;
Moisture content
The hygroscopic and breathable quilt will become Du Fu's "cloth quilt that has been cold like iron for many years" (moisture is not only in the air, but also in the moisture and sweat in people's breath).
