Compared with other fabrics
1, Which is better, coral fleece or flannel?
The advantage of both is strong warmth retention. Flannel is more suitable for making trousers, tops, children’s clothes, etc. We can use it for shirts and skirts. Coral fleece is soft and suitable for pajamas. Flannel is warmer than coral fleece but more expensive. The flannel fluff is finer and denser. However, the hair of coral fleece is relatively thick and sparse. So coral fleece is easier to lose hair, but flannel is not.
2, Which is better, coral fleece or pure cotton?
Compared with pure cotton quilt cover fabrics, coral fleece is softer and more comfortable and has better thermal performance. But the volume is larger than pure cotton fabric. And it is inconvenient to clean. And because the fluff is long, so it is better than pure cotton fabrics are more likely to collect dust. And it is easy to breed bacteria such as mites. Then, it can cause skin redness, allergies, itching, etc. Therefore, we need to clean frequently.
Pure cotton fabrics are less prone to allergies than coral fleece. And it fits well with the quilt core. The quilt cover of coral fleece is very poor in this respect. Its quilt core often scurries around in the quilt cover. Pure cotton is easy to wrinkle after washing. Coral fleece is soft and not easy to wrinkle. But coral fleece is prone to pilling after a long time of use.
3, Which is better, coral velvet or crystal velvet?
When we say crystal velvet, it is actually an upgraded product extended on coral velvet. It’s a bit more advanced. Crystal velvet will be smoother and more comfortable to the touch. The fabric of crystal velvet is also thicker, so it will keep it warmer. Due to its high density, it is not easy to shed hair either. It will also be higher in cost.
Compared with flannel, crystal velvet is polyester fiber in common. They are all polyester, chemical fiber production. The difference is that the crystal velvet has fluff on the surface. And the density is high, and the fleece is very dense. If it is close to the skin, it will feel tight. Therefore it is not suitable for close-fitting clothing. They are more suitable for other household items.
