4 Bedroom Tools That Fail Hot Sleepers, and the 1 Blanket They Never Wanted You to Find

A fan cools the room, and the white noise is nice. But you sleep under a blanket, and the fan never gets under there. Under a thick synthetic blanket the moving air stops at the surface. Muslin is woven open, so the air in the room can actually reach you through the weave.

You can set the thermostat exactly where you want it and still wake up soaked, because the AC can't reach under a plastic blanket. Your heat stays trapped against you while you pay to cool the room. Muslin lets body heat and moisture pass through, so the cool room can finally do its job.

It looks like it's helping. But heavy and dense means heat has nowhere to go. Muslin keeps you warm a different way: six thin layers with air caught between them to insulate, and an open weave that lets the extra heat out. Light, not heavy.

Some synthetic throws sold as “cooling” get their chill from a chemical finish sprayed onto plastic fabric. It feels cold at first, then washes out, and underneath it is still plastic. With muslin, the breathability is the weave itself, not a coating, so there is nothing to wash out. It just gets softer every wash.

One material, one purpose: breathability. 100% natural muslin cotton, woven open, so air moves through it all night instead of getting trapped against your body. Its six layers respond to your body, and there is nothing synthetic touching your skin. It gets better every wash. Not worse. Better. OEKO-TEX® certified and trusted by 400,000+ customers.
