How to shop for sustainable blankets?

Blankets are so much fun to shop for because of all the fabrics, colors, and patterns you can choose. They also come in different shapes and sizes and types for each need. However, shopping for an ethical and environmentally friendly one can be difficult if you don't know what you are looking for. 

You will want to look for certain specifications and fabrics when shopping for your blanket. However, it's essential to have a general idea of what to look for, especially with greenwashing becoming increasingly popular as the world shifts to being more conscious of what is good for the environment and what is not. 

We make it easy for you to shop by providing details on the fabrics and materials used. How those are being sourced and other sustainable actions (corporate responsibility) that brands might be making.

For sustainable fabrics, look for the following when shopping for blankets:

• 100% organic cotton
• Wool
• Bamboo 
• Alpaca wool
• Organic hemp
• Fleece 
• Flax linen
• Viscose from bamboo
• Cashmere 
• Merino wool 

As for the certifications, be on the lookout for the following:

• GOTS 
• OEKO-TEX 
• RDS
• GRS
• CertiPUR 
• Better Cotton Initiative
• FSC
• Organic Trade Association

Why choose to buy sustainable blankets?

Here's the deal: buying sustainably is safe for you and helps protect the environment. For example, buying a blanket made from organic cotton saves water. On average, to produce 1 kg of cotton, it takes 10,000 liters of water. 

There is also the whole issue of toxins. Most blankets that are not from sustainable or organic sources contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, AZO dyes, Aldicarb, and Parathion. Most toxins in blankets irritate people's skin, especially if they have any sensitivities.

A final thought on sustainable blankets

Regarding bundling up in a blanket and sipping a lovely hot tea, sustainability is always best! If you are looking for the least amount of environmental impact, choosing sustainable blankets is always best, or you can always thrift them. 

Following the fabric guide and keeping your eyes peeled on certifications, you should have no problem purchasing a sustainable and eco-friendly blanket!
