What should I do if the quilt has static electricity? 4 ways to save you from being "blown up" by static electricity
The colder the weather, the stronger the wind, the drier the air, and the more frequent static problems began. Not only did the clothes start to stick to the body tightly due to static electricity, and they began to crackle when undressing, and sleeping under the quilt at night made people feel more and more dry, and occasionally felt a slight electric shock.
Is static electricity harmful to the human body? Why do quilts generate static electricity? How to reduce or eliminate the static electricity problem of the quilt?

Is static electricity harmful to human body?
If static electricity is only touched once or twice, it will generally not cause any harm to the human body, so there is no need to worry.
However, if you use a quilt that can generate static electricity for a long time and keep yourself in a static environment for a long time, it will lead to aggravation of the problem of dry skin and make the skin dry and itchy. If static electricity is frequent, it will make people feel uncomfortable, insomnia, induce arrhythmia and other problems. Therefore, it is best to avoid long-term use of bedding that can cause static electricity problems.

Why do quilts generate static electricity?
The reason why the quilt generates static electricity is mainly due to low indoor humidity, dry air, poor hygroscopic performance of the quilt, and friction between the quilt and the human body when sleeping.
The drier the air and human skin, the worse the hygroscopic performance of the quilt or quilt cover material, and the easier the quilt is to generate static electricity. The quilt covered has a quilt cover in addition to the quilt core. Therefore, it can also be said that whether the quilt will generate static electricity depends on the material of the quilt core and the material of the quilt cover that is in direct contact with the human body.
Materials such as chemical fibers have poor hygroscopic properties, so they are prone to static electricity. And natural materials such as pure cotton, linen, silk, etc. have good hygroscopicity, so it is not easy to generate static electricity.

How to solve the static electricity problem of quilt?
As we mentioned above, the reason for static electricity in quilts is the dry environment and skin, as well as the material of the quilt/quilt cover. Therefore, to avoid sleeping in the quilt of the electric flint, we must start by increasing the humidity, replacing the quilt and the quilt cover.
1. The humidifier increases the air humidity
If the room is humid, the static electricity will be adsorbed on the water molecules, and the static electricity generated will gradually dissipate. Therefore, when the air is dry in autumn and winter, a humidifier can be artificially used to increase the air humidity to reduce the accumulation of static charges and eliminate the hazards of static electricity.
2. Body lotion increases skin moisture
The static electricity of the quilt is caused by friction with the human body under dry conditions. Applying body lotion can increase the hydration level of the skin's surface, keeping the body moist, thereby reducing the generation of static electricity.
3.Use natural material quilt core
It is not recommended to use chemical fiber quilts in dry and cold areas in winter, because chemical fibers have poor hygroscopic properties. If the air is dry, the fibers will contain less moisture, which will easily generate static electricity. The hygroscopic performance of cotton, wool, silk and other quilts is dozens of times that of chemical fibers. By absorbing moisture in the air, the fibers can maintain a certain humidity, and it is not easy to generate static electricity.
4.Avoid using chemical fiber quilt covers and change to pure cotton quilt covers
If you don't want to change the quilt core, you can change the quilt cover and use a natural pure cotton quilt cover.
The quilt cover is in direct contact with the human body. If the quilt cover is made of chemical fiber fabrics with poor hygroscopic performance, even if you use natural material quilts such as cotton quilts and wool quilts, there may be static electricity problems when sleeping. The pure cotton material has good hygroscopic performance, and the moisture in the fiber absorbs static electricity, which can reduce the generation of static electricity problems.
In addition, when washing the kit, you can use a softener properly, which not only makes the fabric softer and more comfortable, but also reduces the generation of static electricity problems. When buying velvet bedding such as coral fleece, remember to buy products with conductive filaments, so that static electricity can be rejected!
