How to Wash and Care for Your Dreamer Blanket

There's a reason the Dreamer Blanket is our #1 best seller. One feel and it's obvious. It's the ultra-soft, cloud-like blanket that's taken over social feeds, earned its spot as a Clinician's Choice, and feels like a hug the second you wrap up in it. In other words: once you have one, you'll probably want to use it everywhere.

And if your Dreamer is getting that much love, it's going to need a wash every now and then. The good news? Keeping it soft is simple: wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then air dry for best results. Here's how.

How do you wash the Comfrt Dreamer Blanket?

A few simple laundry choices can help protect its soft, plush feel.

• Machine wash cold: Hot water can contribute to fiber breakdown and shrinkage.
• Wash it alone: Give the Dreamer its own cycle—skipping other items (especially rough materials, heavy towels, and anything with zippers or hardware) helps prevent friction and pilling.
• Wash dark colors separately: If your Dreamer is a darker shade, wash it on its own to help keep colors looking its best.
• Choose the gentle cycle: Less agitation means less wear on plush fibers.
• Use mild detergent: Follow the detergent's recommended amount.
• Skip fabric softener: It can leave a coating on plush fibers over time, which may change their feel.
• No bleach: Bleach can break down the fibers and affect color, so leave it out entirely.

Can you put the Dreamer Blanket in the dryer?

We recommend skipping the dryer. To protect that soft, plush feel, the Dreamer is designed to be hung to dry or laid flat.

• Hang to dry or lay flat: Air drying is the gentlest option and helps the blanket keep its shape and softness.
• Avoid high heat: High temperatures can contribute to shrinkage and put extra stress on soft fibers, so air drying takes that risk off the table.
• Give it space: Laying it flat or hanging it fully spread out can help it dry more evenly.

How do you keep the Dreamer Blanket from pilling?

Pilling usually isn't from everyday use, it comes from friction, especially during washing. The good news: the care steps above are your best defense.

• Wash it alone: Rough materials like towels and denim create friction against the blanket's surface, which is the main cause of pilling.
• Keep it cold and gentle: Less heat and less agitation mean less wear on plush fibers.
• Air dry: Skipping high heat helps the fibers hold up over time.

How should you store the Dreamer Blanket?

• Fold it loosely: This can help preserve its texture and drape.
• Use a shelf or blanket basket: Keep it somewhere dry and easy to reach.
• Skip vacuum storage bags: Long-term compression can flatten the texture and affect how the blanket drapes.

Does blanket size change how you wash it?

The care method stays the same, but your machine size matters. The Dreamer Blanket comes in four sizes:

• Medium Size: 50" x 60"
• Large Size: 60" x 80"
• XL Dreamer Size: Queen, 90" x 90"
• Mega Dreamer Size: King, 100" x 108"

Larger sizes like Full/Queen and King need plenty of room to move freely, so use a high-capacity machine. At a laundromat, look for an oversized drum.

FAQs for the Dreamer Blanket

Can you wash the Dreamer Blanket with towels?

It's best to avoid it: Towels and other rough fabrics can create extra friction against the blanket's surface and may contribute to pilling. Wash the Dreamer alone.

How often should you wash the Dreamer Blanket?

For daily use: Every two to four weeks is a reasonable cadence. Spot clean when you can to help limit unnecessary washing and wear.

Why is my Dreamer Blanket not as soft after washing?

Check your wash routine: Fabric softener, hot water, and rough fabrics can all affect the feel of soft blankets over time. Try switching to cold water, a gentle cycle, mild detergent, and no fabric softener.
