Disana Boiled Wool Blanket - Large

Single color size large Disana Boiled Wool Merino Wool Blanket.  Made in Germany. GOTS certified organic.

Large (twin), Size 2:    135 cm x 200 cm,  which is 53 x 78.75 inches 

For your reference, the surface of a twin mattress is 38 x 75 inches and this blanket is 53 x 78.75 inches so it is wider and a little longer than the surface of a twin, so we call it size Twin although it is a German size so it's not exactly US twin. It is the largest blanket size that Disana makes. 

The lovely wool is substantial. It is a little lighter than the heavier Disana Doubleface blanket but they are otherwise similar.  It is a wonderful, high quality GOTS certified organic wool blanket you will cherish and use for many years.   This is the same as the size 1 single color blanket but bigger. 

While the intended use is a blanket, and it is a lovely organic wool blanket (I love mine!), our customers tell us that this works wonderfully as a natural mattress protector.  This is much more comfy and versatile than a wool pad marketed as a mattress protector which is not suitable for repurposing as a blanket later on. This is softer, floppier and well, it really is a blanket. It it better to sleep on than a true wool mattress protector because those are quite stiff and dense. Place the needed absorbency over this blanket, and it acts like a big wool diaper cover for the bed. Just like a wool diaper cover, use enough absorbency over it as needed.  Wool is not waterproof like plastic is of course, so understand how wool works and have reasonable expectations.  For example, if expecting a lot of fluid, use a towel or whatever is needed over it and under the sheet to "diaper the bed" so to speak.  

• Weight per unit area: 420 g/m².  Nice substantial weight without feeling heavy.

Lovely soft organic boiled merino wool blanket made in Germany. GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic.  It's dreamy!

Note from Karen:  This blanket is 420 g/m² while the Honeycomb knit blanket of the same slightly heavier weight at 480 g/m².  I find this boiled wool blanket to be just as warm. Both kinds are lovely. I have the boiled wool blankets on our beds and I have a knit wool Disana blanket on my couch.  Knit has more "give" and "flop" to it than boiled wool. I like the boiled wool on the beds because it stays in place really well, yet still can be manipulated as needed easily. The knit takes a bit more "doing" to lay it out in place on the bed because the knit gives and stretches a bit. But that "give" and "floppiness" of the knit is just prefect for wrapping around you and snuggling on the couch.  Preferences vary.   I love them all.  No static cling with wool!  I love that about natural fibers!  Static cling on a bed feels terrible to me. Wool is so soothing. 

Wool naturally balances body temperature, unlike synthetics. Wool rarely needs washing. It self-cleans and airs out easily. Serious soiling will need to be hand washed out, but most daily moisture issues (such as spit-up) can be promptly wiped off and it stays fine without getting smelly.  Learn about wool. Once you understand the unique natural properties of wool you will see how easy it is to care for and enjoy how lovely it is and even possibly pass it down to your grandchildren. Because this is the boiled wool version, it is sturdier than the more delicate knit version. We also have an even heavier version of this called Disana Doubleface.

Synthetic weighted blankets filled with plastic just do not compare to wool.
