weighted blanket no polyester

What Is an All-Cotton Glass Microbead Weighted Blanket? An all-cotton glass microbead weighted blanket is a weighted sleep layer engineered with 100% cotton on every surface — outer shell and inner liner — with no polyester in any layer. The fill is ultra-fine glass microbeads, distributed evenly across a quilted pocket grid. The shell is dyed with natural indigo plant dye. The full construction is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified (23.HUS.50992 Hohenstein), meaning all materials — cotton shell, cotton liner, and glass microbeads — have been independently tested and verified free of harmful substances. What Problem Does It Solve? Most cotton-marketed weighted blankets use cotton only on the outer shell. The inner liner — which contacts the fill and creates the sleeping surface — is polyester. This synthetic liner compromises breathability and creates heat retention in weighted sleep. The all-cotton construction solves this by using 100% cotton on both the outer shell and the inner liner, with no polyester anywhere in the construction. What Makes It Different? 100% cotton throughout: outer shell and inner liner — zero polyester — genuine all-natural breathability Glass microbead fill: ultra-fine smooth glass microbeads — finer than standard glass beads — even weight distribution OEKO-TEX Standard 100 full construction: certificate 23.HUS.50992 Hohenstein — all materials independently tested Vegetable-dyed indigo: natural indigo plant dye — no synthetic color Machine washable + dryer safe: glass microbeads maintain shape through wash cycles Mini 9lb size: 40×60 inch — fills the single-sleeper, lap-use, and child-size gap
