What Is Muslin?
Muslin is a loosely woven cotton fabric, which makes it exceptionally lightweight and breathable. It gets softer with every wash, making it a favourite for those who prioritise a cloud-like feel. It's ideal for peak summer months (April–June) when even a light sheet feels like too much.
What Is Cotton?
Standard cotton nightwear is woven more tightly, giving it a slightly more structured feel. It's durable, easy to care for, and works beautifully year-round — especially during the cooler months of October through February. Cotton holds its shape and colour well, making it a practical everyday choice.
