Last week, I visited Nantong, a renowned hub for bedding products, where over 95% of China’s home textiles are produced. What struck me the most were the intricate secrets of the bedding industry! The depth of this market is truly surprising—just knowing the parameters doesn't guarantee you'll choose the right product!
Several factory owners mentioned that many stores sell 50-thread-count fabric as if it's 100-thread-count, doubling the price while ordinary consumers can't discern the difference! Pure cotton raw materials can range from 20 to 30 yuan per meter, or even 50 to 80. So, those "pure cotton" summer quilts priced at 30 or 40 yuan? It's worth a closer look!
Today, I want to introduce a factory that has been recognized as a Super Factory on 1688 for three years. The factory owners were incredibly engaging and shared insights into a fascinating new niche: "functional quilts." Beyond aesthetics and materials, they are now exploring functionality. I was amazed to see products like mugwort quilts, mint quilts, and even honeysuckle quilts! 😄 It was eye-opening to learn how far bedding has evolved.
This factory's summer quilts stand out for their quality and value. They use a custom 170gsm nylon fabric, while most others use 160gsm or even 140gsm. Plus, the cooling effect is impressive, with a cooling value of 0.41! When I touched it, it felt like plunging my hand into jelly—it instantly cooled down!
As we transition into winter, the boss shared a great tip for drying quilts: place them in a black plastic bag and leave them in the sun at 2 PM in the summer for effective pest control!
