A cotton blanket is a versatile bedding layer made primarily from cotton fibers, known for its softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties. It provides lightweight warmth, making it suitable for use as a standalone cover in warmer weather or as an additional layer during colder months. Cotton blankets are often woven or knitted, with variations like thermal weaves for extra warmth (e.g., waffle weaves) or flat weaves for lighter coverage. They are easy to care for, machine washable, and become softer with repeated washing. The natural moisture-wicking ability of cotton helps regulate body temperature by drawing sweat away from the skin. In application, cotton blankets are ideal for year-round use. In summer, a lightweight cotton throw can provide just enough coverage on a cool evening without causing overheating. In winter, a heavier cotton blanket can be layered between a sheet and a duvet for added insulation. For example, a breathable cotton blanket is perfect for a child's bed, offering safety and comfort without the risk of overheating. They are also commonly used as throws on sofas for decorative and practical purposes. When selecting a cotton blanket, considerations include weight, weave type, size, and whether it is made from organic or conventional cotton.
