FAQ
The Muslin Blanket is woven from 100% natural cotton in an open, breathable weave - it's light, airy, and sleeps cool, so it's a favorite of hot sleepers and great for warmer months.
The Original Fleece Blanket is made from ultra-soft, plush fleece - it's warm, cozy, and generously sized, so it's a favorite for cold sleepers, winter nights, and cuddling up. Same brand, same comfort, two very different feels.
The Muslin Blanket. Its open weave lets your body heat pass through instead of trapping it, so you stay cool and dry. It's the go-to for anyone who wakes up warm.
The Original Fleece Blanket. The plush fleece holds warmth and feels enveloping and cozy - ideal if you love being wrapped up.
Yes. The Muslin Blanket's breathable weave works in summer and layers nicely in winter.
The Fleece Blanket is soft and cozy across seasons. It comes down to whether you'd rather lean cool or lean warm.
The Muslin Blanket is 100% natural muslin cotton and is Oeko-Tex® certified (independently tested for harmful substances).
The Original Fleece Blanket is made from premium plush fleece, prized for its softness and warmth.
This is the most common question we get. If one of you runs hot and one runs cold, the easiest fix is one of each - the muslin for the warm sleeper, the fleece for the cool one. Alternatively, the oversized fleece gives you both plenty to wrap in without a tug-of-war.
Both are machine washable. Wash the Muslin Blanket cold and hang or tumble on low - it gets softer with every wash. Wash the Fleece Blanket cold and tumble dry on low; avoid fabric softeners to keep it plush.
Both are popular gifts. The muslin suits warm sleepers, design lovers, and anyone who likes natural fibers; the fleece suits anyone who loves cozy, wrap-up warmth (and it's a hit with pet owners). Both come in a range of colors and arrive ready to gift.
Both come in Full, Queen, King, and King XL, and both offer a wide color range plus limited-edition shades - though the exact dimensions and colorways differ. See the full comparison table below.
