What is down cotton

Down cotton is used in many places in daily life, but not everyone can clearly distinguish what down cotton is. Down cotton is often used in down jackets or some warming equipment in daily life. Because down cotton has a very good warming effect, many people wear clothes made of down cotton in winter.

There are a lot of down cotton and down on the market now. Everyone only knows that both of them are warm, but they don’t know what the specific difference between the two is, and what are the ingredients of down cotton and down respectively.

The so-called down cotton is actually hollow cotton, but it is not real cotton. Instead, it is filled with hollow polyester. Because the air is heat-insulating, it has a certain warmth retention property. Down cotton is made of ultra-fine fibers of different specifications through a special process. Because its texture is similar to down, it is called down cotton, filling the gap in the market for down substitutes. This product is light, thin, delicate, soft, has good heat preservation, is not easy to deform, and is not silky. Its thermal insulation performance exceeds that of down of the same weight. It can be widely used in down jackets, ski jackets, cold-proof clothing and other thermal insulation products. In addition, down cotton is divided into two types: one is combed and shaped, and feels similar to DuPont cotton, also known as imitation goose down cotton; the second is unshaped, similar to PP cotton, and feels close to down, making it an ideal substitute for down. Down cotton clothes are very fluffy when they are new and look thicker than down jackets, but they become less warm the more you wash them.

Down cotton has become more and more popular in recent years. To a certain extent, down cotton has a slight advantage over down jackets, and it can be said that down cotton fills some of the shortcomings of down jackets in some aspects. Therefore, when choosing warm clothes or quilts in winter, you can give priority to down cotton texture.
