The maintenance and cleaning of sleeping bags

At present, most of the cotton sleeping bag fillers on the market use hollow cotton. The more high-end ones use DuPont seven-hole cotton or 3D cotton as filler. Let's talk about down sleeping bags. There are several keywords for down sleeping bags:

1. Down filling amount: it is the weight of down in the sleeping bag

2. Down content: the proportion of down in down, the higher the value of down content, the better

3. Bulkiness: refers to the unit volume occupied by a unit weight of down that is naturally fluffy. The higher the bulkiness, the better.
