Synthetic Fleece – Digimon Goblimon Fleece Blanket High Quality

Often referred to as “polar fleece” or microfleece, synthetic fleece was created as a lightweight alternative to wool. The result is a soft, feather-light blanket that provides incredible warmth. In addition to being lighter than cotton fleece, it’s generally less expensive.

There are a number of trademarked fleeces on the market, but the fabrics are generally very similar. An important distinction to look for is whether the fleece is “pill resistant.” One downside to fleece is that it can pill. This is why it’s important to look for high quality fleece, which retains its original texture after numerous washes and is resistant to pilling.

Lower quality fleece blankets are prone to shedding. Another potential downside to synthetic fleeces is that is that it generates a lot of static, which can attract hair and dust. Although polar fleece is generally made from petroleum products, it is possible to buy high-quality recycled fleece. Be sure to follow drying instructions, as polar fleece can melt when exposed to high heat.

Cotton Fleece – Digimon Goblimon Fleece Blanket High Quality

Cotton fleece is made from the same material as cotton sweatshirts and sweatpants, except it’s sewn so that the soft pile is showing on both sides.

Although these blankets are generally more expensive and heavier than polar fleece, they can be just as warm and some people prefer a little heft in their blanket.

It’s also possible to buy an organic cotton fleece blanket. On the downside, cotton fleece will usually shrink when washed, so look for manufacturers that take this into account when sizing their blankets and always follow the washing instructions.
