A cooling blanket is a type of bedding that uses special materials and fabrics to help keep you cool at night. By absorbing heat and releasing it into the air, it's able to regulate body temperature by about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. That may not seem like much, but it can make a big difference in your sleep quality!

Things to Consider When Choosing a Cooling Blanket?
There are a few things to consider when shopping for a cooling blanket. The first is the size of the cooling blanket. You'll want to make sure that it fits your bed, but also that it's not too short or long and you can't tuck it in at all. Also look at the weight of the blanket, as this can help with how well it will stay on your mattress.
Size
The size of a cooling blanket is determined by the weight and size of your body, as well as how well it fits your bed. If you’re buying a blanket for someone else or are unsure of their size, we recommend using this chart to measure them:
- Weight: 140 pounds (63 kg) is the maximum recommended weight capacity for each size. You may need multiple blankets if they exceed this value.
- Height: We recommend measuring from the top of your head down to your waist or hips when lying down flat on your back with feet flat on floor (convert height into inches).
Weight
- Weight: Lightweight
- Thickness: Thin
- Thinner vs. Thicker: This refers to thickness, or how thick the blanket is. If you want something that will protect you from the cold better, then choose a thicker blanket.
Type
There are several materials that work well as a cooling blanket, including:
- Flannel. This material is usually made of cotton or wool, and it's an excellent choice for those who want to stay warm while resting on their bed. Because flannel can get heavy when wet, it's not ideal for sleeping in hot weather—but if you live in a colder climate and enjoy using a cotton blanket for warmth, you'll probably find this material to be very comfortable.
Material
The material of a cooling blanket will determine how well it can retain its temperature and stay cool.
The most common types of materials are:
Cotton
Cotton is soft, comfortable to lie on (or sit), cools off quickly when wetted down with cold water and dries quickly after use.
Bamboo
Bamboo is a great choice for a cooling blanket because it's lightweight and breathable. Bamboo also naturally antibacterial, so it's a good choice for someone who is sensitive to allergens or has sensitive skin.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic fiber that is easy to care for and can be washed in the washing machine. The care tags on your blanket will indicate if it can be machine-washed or dry cleaned, so check these before you start washing.
Linen
Linen is a natural fabric made from fibers of the flax plant. It’s smooth and cool to the touch, durable and strong, breathable and comfortable, and has been used for centuries for clothing because of all these benefits. Its soft texture also makes it ideal for bedding and bath towels as well!
Tencel
Tencel is made from wood pulp, which gives it a natural feel and makes it extremely breathable. Tencel is moisture-wicking, so you don't have to worry about sweat ruining your bedding. It's also soft and comfortable—you'll want to curl up under this blanket! Tencel can be washed in the washing machine or dry cleaned.
Washable
Cooling blankets are easy to clean, and can be washed in a washing machine.
Washing Cooling Blankets
To wash your cooling blanket, simply place it in the washer with the rest of your laundry. When it comes time to dry your cooling blanket, do not hang it out or put it in the dryer.
Breathable
Breathable fabrics are important for keeping you cool and comfortable. Breathable fabrics allow air to flow through the material, meaning that you’re less likely to get trapped in your own sweat when wearing them.
Power Source
The power source of this product is electric. The blanket has a plug and cable that you can use to connect it to an outlet in your home, or you can use the included battery pack to run it on batteries. This allows for mobility and flexibility when using the blanket at home or away from home.
Wi-Fi
You can connect the TruCool to your Wi-Fi network and access it from anywhere in the world. You can also use the app to adjust settings, get alerts when your blanket has reached its desired temperature, and more.
Conclusion
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a cooling blanket. The type of material, size and weight are all important factors that will help you get the best value for your money.
