Is the cotton cover breathable?

Cotton breathes better than polyester or minky shells, so it sleeps cooler than many rivals. It is still a thick, heavy layer, so hot sleepers may find it warm in summer.

Can I wash it in a home machine?

A 20 lb blanket usually exceeds what a standard home washer handles well. Most makers advise spot cleaning or a gentle cycle in a large commercial machine, then air drying.

How does it compare with glass-bead blankets?
