The halftime brings several dramas: do I take out my coat?, With a enough jersey? Can I start buying the Apaños for cooked, the botillo or any other stew?But there is a specific one that opens a particularly fierce debate among the Spanish population: can I already put the Nordic?The drama of the comfort is not only based on the recommended date to get it out of the case, there are another number of issues that pursue this bed garment.In Verne we have proposed to resolve them (or at least try) with the help of Jordi Millaruelo, sales director of the Venlan company that has been dedicated to this sector for more than 30 years;and Carmen Pacheco, writer and leader of the #edredoff (Disclaimer: she is also the author of our Newsletter) movement).
"About five years ago, in Madrid we lived a very misleading summer.After a few days of heat, the cold returned and stayed until well in June.Some people who were still on Twitter complained that they had taken too soon the comforter and I told them that they were loose, that summer in Madrid always makes some feints and they had fallen cheated at the first exchange, "explains Pacheco."From there, a kind of recurring private joke was created between my followers and me, and I occurred to me the hashtag #eddoff to name the day of summer in which you remove the Nordic quilt and there is no reversal no longer".
- When do you have to put the comforter or Nordic?
"Everything is relative," says Millaruelo, although fast gives a few clues to avoid sowing more doubts."It depends on the type of housing, if it is an isolated house in four winds, an apartment in a block of the center of a city, a house in the countryside or one on the coast".Once each user has identified their home, the expert what they recommend are Nordic for each station, even combine several."The finest grammage [that is, the thickness] is recommended for autumn and spring; the thickest for winter, and in mountain areas or interior cities such as Burgos or Vitoria, both can be used at the same time".
Carmen Pacheco resorts to a card metaphor to explain it: "It's like playing Blackjack, you have to wait at the right time but don't go.Every year, as soon as I was a little heat, someone asked me on Twitter if it was time to remove the comfort and I told them to endure, that if they rushed they would regret it.I put the Hold scene!by Braveheart to understand the concept (we must give something epic to everyday life) ".
The writer not only created a label, a couple of years ago she created a consultation website."That year I hit the right day," he says, "but this last summer I failed full.It was a #eddoffail.All of us who removed theite the day I proclaimed the #Dereoff we repent and we had to go through the humiliation of getting the comforter again from its site (with the roll that is to keep it) and put it again.But what do I have of climate change? ".
"On the moment of #edredon now in autumn, I don't pronounce myself because he has no emotion.If you put it early, you sleep half uncovered for a few days and voila.Without some risk, there is no possible epic.Personally, I've been sleeping for two weeks with Conredón because my boyfriend put it and after my failure in summer I had no argument to protest, "says Pacheco.
- Nordic with countertop sheet or just the fall?
At this point you have to raise two aspects.On the one hand, as Millaruelo points out, the Spanish tradition is based on the game of both sheets, so it is usual for many people to use the Nordic with their cover and also the countertop."The comforter is used in Europe from the Middle Ages, Spain arrived a little later, so we culturally make a different use," says the sales director.Not only do we use more bed garments, we also try that the Nordic case to match the curtains, for example.That is, the fabric changes, it is more complicated to wash it and choose the countertop.
This is an issue that Pacheco "horrifies" literally.In your case, tradition is no excuse."There are people who hate changing the Nordic case because first it may seem complicated, but it is the same as solving a logic game or making a puzzle.Everyone has to find their method to do it as quickly as possible and not resort to that indignity of the countertop sheet.For that, use blankets, a quilt or a normal comforter, that there are very pretty.But do not destroy the pure essence of the design of the Nordic Conredón, with a Mediterranean bucket.I just read on Wikipedia, that the Nordic Conredón was invented by the Vikings.There is no more to say ".
"If the Nordic covers are washed as easily as the normal sheets and the comforter itself can be put in the washing machine without problem, what is the point of putting a sheet in the middle?".So, the second drama that chases the comforting should be discarded.Until the following doubt arises.
- Why does it seem so difficult to put the case?Some tricks
On YouTube there are several tutorials that promise a simple procedure.This ensures that a single person can do it in two minutes simply by placing the case upside down.In this other video they choose to ally with clothing tweezers.And to ensure that it is well stretched, you can resort to the wall as explained in this guide.
- What is the difference between the types of filling?
Millaruelo distinguishes between pen and fiber.And once again, it depends on the taste of each."The feathers make thermal insulator and take advantage of body heat, but are more complicated to wash at home," he says."The fiber has the same effect as the traditional blanket and can be put in the washing machine".
