Stupid rug question!

[Fluffypiglet]

I have two stable rugs of different makes. Both are supposed to be 200/220gish. One is big and poofy, the other is quite slimline (fab descriptions I know!). I'm never quite convinced the slimline one is as warm as the poofy one but they are meant to be about the same. Can the same weight rugs be different warmths? I need to wash one but worried about changing between the two in case I freeze him or cook him! Help ?

I would say that they will be, it may just be that they are filled with different density material. I have one 200g older rug that is SO heavy to carry, and one newer one which I could pick up with one finger.. they both keep him toasty warm, even though I think the heavier one would be the one most likely to be less effective over time as it's the older rug.

In short - I would think you'll be fine to swap and change.

I think if ones older it can make a big difference. They loose puff over the years and with washing

Thanks both, they are both new (ish) but it makes sense that different density material would give a different feel. I should have just bought two identical rugs.... ?.

Amigo are like feathers, PE are like a lead blanket. I much prefer the light ones, though will use those that are heavier on windy days as the light ones billow up.

Rambos are superlight as well. My no fill PE is heavier than my 300gm Rambo!
