To Support local economy? That is always a good thing to do. There is an added value in buying Moving Blankets, made in the US of A. So what is it that gives locally made moving blankets that additional edge over competition?
Not surprisingly the main reason is exactly why you are buying the moving blankets in the first place - THE "FLUFF"! This so called "Fluff" is what makes the blanket work! Good "Fluff" feels soft and thick, it is the one most important characteristic that allows blanket to provide better protection.
There are several major advantages in buying American made moving blankets ( besides the supporting local economy of course, and keeping manufacturing jobs going) :

1. - American made moving blankets are never pressed. That means that the fluff is there to protect your cargo from day one!
Comment:Imported blankets have to be pressed to reduce volume and therefore shipping cost. This process expels all the air out of the padding and the Blankets become "flat". You need to shake it well, or use several times before the blanket absorbs air and gets fluffy again

2. - Better protection can be achieved with a lighter weight of the blanket.
Comment: Since most of blankets in the US are now come from overseas, consumers learned to buy more "weight". So in effect consumers have to pay more to buy the same level of "Fluff” as the lighter weighting American made blankets provide. So you can buy a cheaper light weight blankets to get same level of protection as heavier imported blankets provide.

3. - Stronger outer fabric. Comment: Our factory buys material from various US mills, with emphasis on the durability of the material. Since the material is not specifically produced for blanket making, the quality and "feel" of the fabric may vary from batch to batch. But it is going to be strong and durable.
When you buy blankets made in the USA be rest assured that you are buying value.
