Brooklinen's Breathable Cotton Waffle Blanket Is the Secret to Staying Cool Yet Cozy This Summer
It's lightweight and perfect for layering
In the heat of summer, breathable bedding offers much-needed respite from blistering temperatures. Much like adding a fan or opening a window, it's a low-effort, welcome way to keep comfortable.
Soft, breathable, and cooling − Brooklinen's Dreamweave Waffle Bed Blanket is the perfect swap for your sleep space this season. Made of 100 per cent Turkish cotton for optimal thermoregulation, it offers an airy, lightweight texture that looks just as good as it feels.
It's the ideal fix for keeping a bed cool in summer, without investing in expensive air conditioning.
Swap your comforter out for this blanket in summer, and use it as an extra cozy layer as we transition into fall and winter. It's easy to care for, and tumble-dry safe.
While the current heat dome that much of the US is experiencing means it's far too hot for a comforter, let alone a heat-trapping synthetic polyester type, most people struggle to sleep with no cover at all. Instead, lightweight swaps like the Dreamweave Waffle Bed Blanket, available at Brooklinen, offer a little weight while regulating your temperature to keep you comfortable all night long. Made of airy Turkish cotton, it's summer's answer to sleeping better.
For that reason, it's no surprise that, as shopper J details alongside their five-star review, they 'Liked it so much [they] bought another.'
'I really like this waffle blanket,' they say. 'I sleep hot and just want a light, breathable blanket at night, and this fits the bill. It is much better than the bamboo blanket I was using previously.
'Also, it is oversized for a queen bed and covers my whole mattress and hangs nearly to the floor, while I've noticed that most blankets from other brands barely cover the mattress.'
Tuck the blanket under your mattress for a polished look.
It's also effortlessly easy to wash, dry, and care for this blanket, which is all the more important in the summer months, when bedding needs to be washed on a frequent basis to ensure a sanitized sleep space. Simply machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
Another five-star reviewer, Pency, names it the 'best lightweight blanket for the summertime,' adding, 'As a loyal Brooklinen customer, and living in south Louisiana, it was time for me to switch to the linen sheets along with a lightweight blanket.
'This is absolutely perfect and [I] would highly recommend [it] for those living in a warmer climate.'
Then, come fall and winter, use it as a lightweight layer to keep warm while you sleep with the hotel method bedding layering trick.
Effortlessly versatile, it's a worthy year-round addition for any cozy, comfortable bed space.
