Discover the Surprising Benefits of Muslin Bed Linens—You'll Never Go Back!
- Replies 16
As we grow older, comfort and quality rest are non-negotiable*. And for many of us here at the Seniors Discount Club, slumber is a sacred thing; it must be sound, uninterrupted and above all, comfortable.
So, let's talk about bedding, specifically muslin blankets*. These wonders take the very essence of comfort and wrap it up into a soft, dream-inducing package that, quite frankly, we can't get enough of.
And here's why.
So, what is muslin fabric? Muslin fabric* is usually made from 100 per cent cotton—but some brands also mix in small amounts of silk and viscose to give a softer feel. The fabric is easy on the skin and makes for a comfortable, light cover-up, making it a popular choice for baby blankets*. That’s right, even your grandkids can benefit!
However, we believe it holds equal benefits for adults, particularly those of us who struggle with sleep and need every inch of comfort we can get*.
Muslin differs from the typical cotton weaves* you see in everyday items like shirts and dresses due to its characteristic loose, open weave. This little detail makes the fabric uniquely breathable—a blessing for those who sweat in their sleep*!
The fabric itself is made using the classic plain weave method, threading weft yarn over and under a single warp thread. Done in perfect harmony*, this produces the muslin fabric loved by designers for pattern-testing.
And on a side note, isn't it only fitting that if it's good enough for high fashion, it should certainly be good enough for our beds*, don't you think?
The types and weights of muslin are diverse, meaning you can choose something that perfectly suits your needs and budget. The finest muslin cloths* are a delicate weave of evenly spun yarns, and you’ll have to fork out a bit extra for the luxury of these.
While on the budget side*, you’ll get a blanket generally interwoven with uneven yarn and an option of bleached or unbleached.
Taking you back to basics, let's talk about cotton. This natural material is practically a superpower when it comes to adapting to sleeping preferences*. As our body temperature shifts throughout the night, cotton soaks up the heat, helping us stay cool and dry. During winter, while it's absorbing the heat, it's also retaining warmth.
Bear in mind, too, that quality cotton has an impressive lifespan*—almost twice as long as its man-made counterparts. So, even though you might initially pay a bit more for it, think of it as an investment in your comfort—and we all know that's priceless.
But what’s so great about muslin cotton*?
Muslin cotton is lightweight and breathable in nature, which offers respite from the heat and allows optimal air circulation. The crucial weight-to-warmth ratio makes muslin cotton blankets the perfect summer night sleep aid. It provides a light coat of warmth without overwhelming you*.
Not to mention, muslin cotton is respected for its hypoallergenic properties—a blessing for those who are skin-sensitive or allergy-prone. Its low likelihood of causing irritation or triggering an allergic response* makes it a perfect choice in your bedding selection.
We’re certainly fans of businesses that put passion into what they do, and the store To the Moon and Back* is one of those. Run by a passionate mum—Katie—this brand offers lovely designs and fabrics (including muslin!) predominantly for baby and children's linen items.
But we think it could just as easily charm adults, too*. The word on the grapevine is that something exciting is coming* in that regard ASAP.
So, if you’ve never considered muslin cotton as a bedding option, then perhaps it's time to start not only for its comfort and breathability* but for its long lifespan and hypoallergenic properties. After all, good sleep is priceless.
Give muslin bedding a try*, and you may find yourself wondering how you ever slept without it!
