Imiqamelo ethambileyo yezilwanyana iyilelwe ukuba ingathinteki, ithuthuzele, kwaye ibukeke, iyenze ibe yinto eyolisayo kuyo nayiphi na indawo yokuhlala.yenziwe ngokuqhelekileyo ngelaphu elikumgangatho ophezulu, elimfumamfuma nelithambileyo ngokugqithisileyo xa ulibamba. Le miqamelo ikholisa ukuba noyilo lwezilwanyana ezintle nezithandekayo, ezinje ngeebhere, imivundla, iikati, okanye ezinye izilwanyana ezidumileyo. Ilaphu elimfumamfuma elisetyenziswa kule miqamelo lenzelwe ukunika imvakalelo ethuthuzelayo nepholileyo, ibenza balungele ukuwola kunye nokufutha.
Imithwalo ivame ukuzaliswa ngezinto ezithambileyo kunye neyomeleleyo, ezifana ne-polyester fiberfill, ukubonelela ngokukhululeka kunye nokuxhaswa kwenkxaso. Uyilo lunokwahluka ngokubanzi, ukusuka kwimilo yezilwanyana yokwenyani ukuya kutoliko olunesitayile oluthe kratya kunye nokutolika okungaqhelekanga.
Le miqamelo yezilwanyana ezithambileyo ayisebenzi nje kuphela ukubonelela intuthuzelo kunye nenkxaso, kodwa ikwasebenza njengezinto ezithandekayo zokuhombisa amagumbi okulala, iindawo zokulala, okanye amagumbi okudlala. Ziyathandwa phakathi kwabantwana kunye nabantu abadala ngokufanayo, zinika imvakalelo yokufudumala kunye nobudlelwane.
