Lightweight Blankets for Hot Sleepers

Breathable warmth for people who sleep hot

If you sleep hot but can't sleep without something over you, a heavy comforter is too much and a sheet feels like nothing. A lightweight blanket sits in between. Ours is made from six layers of 100% cotton gauze (muslin), an open plain weave that lets air move through instead of holding it in under thick fill.

What makes a blanket feel light

• Weave: open, loosely woven cotton gauze instead of a dense knit or brushed fleece.
• Fill: none. No batting, no beads and no synthetic fill.
• Fibre: 100% cotton fabric, with no polyester in the fabric.
• Layers: six thin layers give the feel of a real blanket without the bulk of a comforter.

Sized honestly, for one adult

Gauze is crinkled on purpose, so we list two sizes: about 115 × 185 cm (45″ × 73″) as it lies after a wash and dry, and 160 × 210 cm (63″ × 83″) stretched flat. One blanket covers one adult from shoulders to toes: the full width of a single bed, or one sleeper's side of a queen or king. See the size guide for how it fits your bed.

A blanket each

With Buy 1, Get 1 Free, couples get one blanket for each side of the bed, in the same colour or two different ones. Use it on its own on warm nights, under your doona or quilt in winter, or as a throw rug on the lounge.
