Muslin Cocoon

A muslin blanket is a soft, breathable blanket made with a loose cotton weave that allows air to easily flow through. Bearaby’s Muslin Cocoon is made from six lofty layers of GOTS-certified organic cotton muslin, giving it a fuller, more substantial drape than a traditional four-layer lightweight muslin blanket.

Muslin fabric is lightweight and soft to the touch, which is why muslin throws are sometimes called gauze blankets or cotton gauze blankets.

Muslin blankets are designed to be soft, breathable, and versatile. They can be used as a light coverlet, a cozy throw, a breathable layer on the bed, or a comforting blanket for winding down. The Muslin Cocoon adds a little more comforting heft, creating a softly grounding feel without extra heat or bulk. With its reversible two-tone design and hand-finished stitching, it also brings an elevated, styled layer to the bed, sofa, or any space that could use a softer finishing touch.

Yes, muslin is a great fabric for sleeping because it is soft, breathable, and helps prevent overheating. The Muslin Cocoon’s open weave allows air and moisture to move freely, making it cool enough for summer, cozy enough for winter, and comfortable for hot sleepers year-round.

A throw blanket can offer a calming, cocooning feel when it has enough softness and gentle weight to settle around the body. While the Muslin Cocoon is not a weighted blanket, its six-layer construction creates a fuller drape that can feel grounding, soothing, and comforting during moments of rest.

Wash your cotton muslin blanket on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, and tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. The Muslin Cocoon is pre-washed for softness and becomes even softer with every wash.

Muslin is usually made from cotton woven in an open, breathable weave. The Muslin Cocoon is crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton muslin and is OEKO-TEX certified, so it is gentle on skin and made without any harsh materials.

A swaddle is usually a smaller, lightweight muslin blanket designed for wrapping babies. A muslin throw or blanket is larger and made for everyday comfort, layering, styling, and sleep. The Bearaby Muslin Cocoon is a medium-weight muslin throw made with six layers, giving it a fuller, more cocooning feel than a standard swaddle or lightweight muslin blanket.

Yes. The Muslin Cocoon is designed to layer beautifully with your Bearaby Napper. Use it underneath as a soft, breathable layer against the skin, or style it across the bed to complete your layered look without adding too much heat or bulk. It is available in coordinating Napper shades for an easy, pulled-together palette.
