Many weighted blankets include cotton in the outer layer, but most still rely on synthetic linings or fillers inside. Mosaic Weighted Blankets are different. Each cotton blanket in our collection features a 100% cotton outer shell combined with hypoallergenic poly pellets for weight — never glass beads or polyester liners. This gives you the breathable comfort of natural cotton on the outside, with an even, quiet weight distribution throughout. The result is a cooling, washable weighted blanket made to support deeper sleep without trapping heat.
Yes, some weighted blankets are specifically made to stay breathable and cool, even for hot sleepers. Look for materials like cotton, bamboo, or moisture-wicking technical fabrics that allow air to circulate and help prevent overheating. At Mosaic, our CoolMax Weighted Blankets are engineered with breathable fabric that wicks moisture and promotes airflow, making them ideal for warm climates or anyone prone to night sweats.
The best filling depends on your priorities, comfort, safety, or maintenance. At Mosaic Weighted Blankets, we use premium plastic poly pellets because they offer consistent weight, long-term durability, and machine washability. Unlike glass beads, our pellets are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and won’t degrade over time. They’re also quieter during movement and less prone to clumping or leaking. While some brands prefer micro glass beads for their cooling feel, we’ve chosen poly pellets to ensure safety, longevity, and everyday convenience for our customers.
Yes, side sleepers can absolutely use a weighted blanket. Many people find that the gentle, even pressure helps them feel calmer and fall asleep faster, regardless of sleep position. If you sleep on your side, just make sure to choose the right weight, slightly lighter options (around 7 to 9 percent of your body weight) may feel more comfortable on pressure points like hips and shoulders. Mosaic’s breathable cotton and CoolMax™ weighted blankets are designed for balanced pressure and airflow, making them a great choice for side sleepers who want deep pressure without overheating.
Yes, many weighted blankets are washable — including all cotton weighted blankets from Mosaic. Our blankets are filled with high-quality poly pellets that are durable, non-toxic, and safe for both washing machines and dryers. For best results, use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Always check the care tag before washing. Avoid bleach or fabric softener, as these can break down the stitching or filling. For heavier weights (20 lbs or more), a commercial washer may be more effective.
