The company advises using a large-capacity dryer and dryer balls to ensure the blanket dries thoroughly, although the blanket is completely machine washable. We like that Sleep Number provides a wide range of bedding products that have been tried and tested, along with a substantial 100-night sleep trial period.
✔️ TESTER NOTES: This blanket’s cool fabric and light feel without appearing overly thin impressed me right away when it arrived in the lab. “This is a wonderful in-between weight that can work throughout the year,” one tester commented. “The blanket feels crisp and airy,” they continued. Testers reported that it did not feel as soft or cuddly as their previous blankets because of its cooling, smooth fabric.
