Product Information

One of the main traits this material has is it is lightweight yet very warm. You do not have to wear layers and layers of clothing to stay warm when you put some fleece on your body. As time has gone by, the different companies have been able to create more types of fleece mostly made from synthetic materials. Difference Between Sherpa and Fleece This section is for those who do not know much about fleece material. This material was invented in about 1981 by a company called Malden Mills. There were no natural fibers used in the beginning and basically, fleece has been made from polyester from the start.

Lycra spandex fleece - this is what could be called stretchy fleece. It is made of cotton with Lycra fibers thrown in to make sure the material stretches when you need it to. Premium is super soft and is generally used for men and women’s bathrobes. It has a lot of the same qualities microfleece has but it is just better. Sherpa Lining vs Fleece Lining That modification means that you will be extra warm on those cold nights. The power of fleece and Sherpa combine together to provide you with great insulation, even if you spill a little hot chocolate on it. The best season to wear this material is summer but it works well for layering. Now that you understand microfleece a little better, you should be able to understand that premium fleece is an upgrade over this material. To understand one you have to understand the other. Microfleece is a very soft and comfortable material that is not that heavy. In fact, it weighs 200 gsm or less. If it weighs more than that it is not microfleece. Premium fleece would be heavier than that.Sherpa fleece - fluffy and mimics wool in most ways. It is very breathable and often used for lining. Both materials are made from the same base ingredients, polyester, but the processing is a bit different so you get two different textures, look, and insulating powers. In addition, both materials are easy to clean.

The faux fur may be a bit more comfortable to wear than the Sherpa lining. It doe snot come with the rough texture that Sherpa does and while faux fur will keep you warmer than its opponent here, it does not act as fast as Sherpa lining does. French terry fleece - this is the unbrushed version of this material. That means it is flatter and does not have a fluffy nap to it. That is one of the big differences between these two types of materials. The regular fleece blankets can keep you warm but not as warm as the Sherpa blanket. Both will be nice and soft, especially any fleece blanket made from cotton.Microfleece and french Terry fleece may give the Sherpa fleece a run for its money, though. Those types are manufactured to be both smooth and soft while Sherpa may have some rough edges to its interior surface. The interesting fact about the latter of these two blankets is that the fleece option can be a different fleece type without using any Sherpa fleece for a lining or added warmth. Then it can use Sherpa fleece to make sure you stay very warm. Cotton or cotton-poly fleece - made from cotton or a blended material and generally used for athletic wear. it has a smooth exterior with a plush interior nap. Some say it is twice as insulating as wool and 4 times as insulating as cotton, even when wet. Then it took 13 years for the company to master how to make fleece from recycled plastic. In one way this material is good for the environment and helps keep plastic from hitting the landfills or entering the oceans.

Microfleece- double - sided, thin, soft, and insulates well. It is the preferred fleece for performers as it is lightweight and keeps them drier. Then to get the best of both worlds, sometimes fleece is blended with cotton so you have the positive aspects of fleece and the positive aspects of cotton working together. Sherpa fleece is often used on one side of the fleece blanket.What makes this material attractive to most consumers is that it mimics wool without costing the same as that natural fiber. You get to stay nice and warm while keeping enough money in your wallet for a nice time in the town in the winter season. Sherpa vs Fleece Blanket It is said that faux fur is warmer than Sherpa but the latter material is less costly so you can still stay warm, look good without spending too much money. Then faux fur feels and looks like real animal fur which may be more appealing to some overlooking at material resembling real sheep fleece. Both will be soft and the Sherpa lining will not be as smooth as the fleece lining. Sherpa fleece is designed to be smooth on one side and rough like real fleece on the other. it is that rough side you see not the smooth side. ENJOYABLE EVERYWHERE: The fluffy cosy blanket suits for a wide variety of occasions. It not only keeps you warm while watching TV, reading, playing games, using mobile devices and interacting with your pets, also next-door visits, barbecues and camping, also it's an ideal gift to convey positive affection to your family, friends and besties. Then Sherpa fleece may have a little stretch to it but not as much as the type made with Lycra fibers. The Lycra is added to some fleece materials to make sure you have an inexpensive fabric that stretches well.
