Muslin Cocoon

A muslin blanket is a breathable and finely-woven blanket made from cotton muslin. Muslin fabric is lightweight and soft to the touch, which is why muslin throws are sometimes called gauze blankets or cotton gauze blankets. To make our Bearaby Cocoon comfy-as-can-be, we use ultra soft and super snugglable organic muslin made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. This all-natural material uses less water than traditionally farmed cotton, making it a healthier choice for you and the planet.

Muslin blankets are known for their versatility — they make lounge-worthy throw blankets, breathable bedding, and can even be used as calming sensory tools. In fact, muslin fabric is so snugglable that it’s often used to make swaddle blankets for babies! Our Cocoon throw blanket is designed to bring those same soothing swaddles to people big and small.

You can use the Cocoon as a stand-alone muslin throw blanket or as an extra layer of bedding, and experiment with different ways of curling up to see what feels the most comfy. Because of its soothing texture, the Cocoon is sensory-friendly and snug in all seasons.

Yes! Muslin fabric is breathable and buttery soft, making it a perfect fit for all-night swaddling. Our Cocoon is a muslin blanket for adults that works great as a cooling blanket in the summer or an extra layer of comfort on cold nights.

Muslin fabric is so soft and breathable that it’s commonly used to create swaddle blankets for babies, and these same calming properties make muslin throws a sensory-friendly blanket option for people of all ages.

Our muslin throw blankets are designed to work well as sensory tools and swaddle blankets for adults, thanks to their soothing texture and flexible shape. The Cocoon is perfect for wrapping and swaddling, which can help calm sensory overload and promote regulation. And since organic cotton muslin is naturally breathable, you’re sure to stay cool and comfy! 

The Cocoon is machine washable! We recommend washing the Cocoon cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach.

Avoid washing your muslin blanket with any items with sharp edges to prevent potential snags or damage.

Our muslin is hand woven from 4 layers of GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton, carefully crafted to make the comfiest cotton muslin blankets around. It’s good for you and the planet, too! Organic cotton uses up to 90% less water than conventional farming methods and is free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, synthetics, or artificial softeners.

Swaddling refers to the practice of wrapping up in a lightweight blanket, while muslin refers to the fabric commonly used to make those blankets. Muslin blankets like the Cocoon are ideal for swaddling because they’re thin and breathable, allowing you to snuggle up tight with plenty of airflow. 

The Cocoon is designed to perfectly pair with our weighted blankets, creating a soothing, dreamy duo. Measuring 54” x 72”, the Cocoon is slightly larger than our Nappers and fits just right underneath your weighted blanket for all-night calm.

Layering your Napper with a throw blanket like our Cocoon is a great way to add an extra level of comfort and sensory relief.
