Will this help with night sweats & overheating?

The Nesselle Cooling Blanket is designed to help your body stay at a more comfortable temperature through the night. The bamboo viscose fill is breathable and works to disperse heat rather than trap it — which makes a real difference for women who run hot. We won't promise it eliminates night sweats entirely, because we believe in being honest with you. What most women find is that they wake less, feel more comfortable, and spend less of the night tossing covers on and off.

How is this different from other cooling blankets?

Most cooling blankets use polyester filling, which can feel cool initially but warms up quickly as your body heat builds — and you're back where you started. The Nesselle blanket uses bamboo viscose fill, which is breathable and works to disperse heat throughout the night rather than just at the start. It's exactly that difference that made us create it in the first place. Not a quick fix — something that actually keeps working

Can I use this blanket all year round?

Yes — and honestly, for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, this matters more than most people realise. Hormonal overheating doesn't know what season it is. Night sweats and temperature fluctuations don't take a break in winter just because it's cold outside. The Nesselle Cooling Blanket is designed to be used all year round — breathable and temperature regulating enough for summer, cosy and settled enough for winter. Because your body doesn't follow the calendar, and your blanket shouldn't have to either.

Can I use this blanket in Summer?

Yes — and this is actually where the Nesselle Cooling Blanket really earns its place. Most blankets become impossible in summer, especially for women dealing with night sweats and temperature fluctuations. The bamboo viscose fill is breathable and works to disperse heat rather than trap it, which means it stays comfortable even on warmer nights. We won't promise it works miracles on the hottest nights of the year — but for most women it's the one blanket they can actually keep on through summer without waking up overheated.

Can I use this on the couch as well as in bed?

Absolutely — the Nesselle Cooling Blanket was designed for sleep, but it's just as good for those quiet moments on the couch. Whether you're winding down in the evening, watching TV, or just grabbing five minutes to yourself during the day, it gives you that same cosy, settled feeling without the heat. Think of it as your all-day comfort companion, not just a bedtime one

What weight is the blanket & will it feel too heavy?

The Nesselle Cooling Blanket weighs 2.5kg — light enough to feel comfortable through the night but with enough weight to give you that cosy, settled feeling that helps your body relax into sleep. Most women find it feels reassuring rather than heavy or restrictive. It's designed to feel like something is there without weighing you down — the sweet spot between a sheet that feels too light and a blanket that feels too warm.

What size is the blanket & will it fit my bed?

The Nesselle Cooling Blanket is 200 x 230cm — a generous size that works well on a queen or king bed, and large enough to wrap yourself in properly whether you're in bed or on the couch. It's designed to be big enough to feel truly comfortable, not just technically functional

Is this blanket suitable for just one person or can two people use it?

The Nesselle Cooling Blanket is 200 x 230cm — a generous size that works beautifully for one person who wants to wrap themselves in it properly, but is also large enough to share. That said, it was designed with one woman's comfort in mind — her temperature, her need to feel settled and cosy without overheating.

How do I care for my Nesselle Cooling Blanket?

Taking care of your Nesselle Cooling Blanket is straightforward. Machine wash on a delicate cycle using a gentle, mild detergent, and hang to dry — avoid the dryer to keep the bamboo viscose fill in its best condition. Store loosely folded in a cool, dry place when not in use.

One thing worth knowing after washing — you may notice the fill feels a bit stiff and the outer shell looks slightly looser than usual. This is completely normal. Once it's fully dry the fill softens back up, fills out the quilted spaces again, and your blanket returns to its usual shape and feel. Just give it time to dry fully before use
