Cover

bed cover

The cover is placed on top of the rest of the bedding

The Latin word coopertorium , which can be translated as "cover" , came to Spanish as a cover . This is the name of the coat that is used covering the bed .

blanket for bed

A coverlet can be a quilt , a duvet , a blanket or a blanket . It is a blanket that provides protection against the cold to the person who is lying down.

Anyone who is lying down can therefore cover themselves with a blanket. This product can be made with cotton , wool , synthetic fibers or other materials.

Covers are very useful during winter and in regions where temperatures remain low throughout the year. When it's hot, on the other hand, the blanket can be annoying since there is no need to resort to a coat. Anyway, there are also summer covers , lighter or lighter (that is, not as thick as traditional covers).

In decoration

It is important to mention that blankets are also valuable pieces of decoration . The design of the quilt affects the aesthetics of the bedroom , which is why an integration of colors, styles, etc. is often sought.

There are covers with images of animals or flowers, for example. The covers can also have stripes, polka dots or other prints. In the case of children's blankets , they usually display superheroes, spaceships, vehicles or sporting goods, among other reasons.

Halfway between one function and another, there are people who use the blanket to protect themselves from the cold but also to decorate their bed. This product can provide both benefits if, in addition to being made with a warm material, it has an attractive appearance and matches the aesthetics of the bedroom.

On the other hand, there are those who use the coverlet to protect the aesthetics of the rest of the bedding, rather than to decorate it. This is especially true for those who live with pets and allow them to roam around the house. Since these do not usually stay as clean as people, if they are allowed to climb into bed, it is advisable to place a quilt after putting it together so that it traps most of the dirt . Before going to sleep, it can be removed.

Other products

Beyond bedding , other items that provide coverage, such as a pool cover , car cover , or air conditioning cover , can be called a cover.

The pool cover, for example, is a very important item to provide the best experience when cooling off because it offers several essential benefits. On the one hand, it keeps the water clean and free of insects , as it covers it while people are not using the pool. On the other hand, it can serve to prevent the little ones from getting in without the supervision of their elders, or from falling into the water and not being able to get out.

Snow car cover

Not using a cover can put the integrity of the car at risk.

In the case of the car, the function of the cover is similar but focuses more on aesthetic issues, because although it keeps it cleaner, it also protects its body and paint from inclement weather. In short, covering our vehicle in times of heavy rainfall or in the middle of summer ensures that it remains in better condition for longer.

Air conditioning is an increasingly common product, but to this day it has not caught up with the automobile in popularity. Since acquiring it involves a significant financial investment, we are expected to take proper care of it. With this objective, the cover was created, which protects it from wind, rain, snow and dust , throughout the months in which we do not use it or on days of bad weather. Since its material is very resistant, it also prevents cracks that can be caused by intense cold.
