The Science Behind Cooling Blankets: How Does a Cooling Blanket Work?

Blankets Are Supposed to Keep You Warm, But What About Hot Summer Days?

 

Blankets are typically associated with warmth and coziness, but what about hot summer days? For those who want to stay covered without overheating, cooling blankets are the perfect solution. If you're tired of waking up in the middle of the night sweaty and uncomfortable, our Elegear cooling blanket could be just what you need. Unlike regular blankets, our elegear cooling blankets are designed to help regulate your body temperature so you can sleep comfortably all night long.

 

But how do they actually work? Let's take a closer look at the science behind them.

 

Thermoregulating Materials

Cooling blankets work by using specialized thermoregulating materials that are designed to keep your body temperature in a comfortable range, reducing heat and preventing you from getting too hot during the night. These materials are also great at wicking away moisture, which can help keep you cool and dry throughout the night. Cooling blankets can be made from a variety of materials, including plant-based options like cotton or bamboo, as well as synthetic materials like polyester and acrylic. By combining these materials with innovative designs, cooling blankets can help you get a better night's sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

 

Arc-Chill Cooling Fiber

One high-performance functional textile used in our Elegear Cooling Blankets is the Arc-Chill cooling fiber. Arc-Chill cooling fiber is a cutting-edge material made with conductive cross-section fibers and jade particles that work together to reduce humidity on the skin, speed up moisture evaporation, absorb excess body heat, and create a refreshing sensation of coolness. The jade particles produce an endothermic reaction that absorbs energy, while the modified conductive cross-section polyester speeds up moisture evaporation when the body perspires. The combination produces a cool sensation and reduces skin temperature by 35.6-41℉.

 

Q-Max

In addition to the materials used, our elegear cooling blankets are designed with Q-max in mind. Q-max is a measure of the coolness sensation that a fabric provides on the skin. It is determined by the contact area between the skin and fabric surface, with a higher value indicating a faster transfer of heat from the body to the fabric, resulting in a cooler feeling. Ordinary fabric typically has a Q-max value of 0.2, whereas Arc-Chill fabric has a Q-max above 0.5, which places it in the super cold series and is the highest Q-max value among all cooling products.

 

The Benefits of Cooling Blankets

A cooling blanket can help you relax and cool down during hot summer nights, and provide a comfortable sleep environment. It can also be beneficial for people who suffer from various medical conditions such as hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, and more. Cooling blankets are also great for athletes who need to cool down after exercising to relax muscles and nerves.

 

In conclusion, cooling blankets work by using thermoregulating materials to keep your body temperature in a comfortable range. Innovative materials like Arc-Chill cooling fiber we use for our elgear cooling blanket can provide an even cooler sensation by wicking away humidity and accelerating moisture evaporation. With their ability to help you sleep comfortably all night long, cooling blankets are a great investment for anyone looking to improve their sleep quality during hot weather.
