Sustainable cuddly blankets “Made in Germany”
Why origin, material and tested standards matter again today - and how to recognize a truly sustainable cuddly blanket.
Sustainability is not a label. It is reflected in organic materials , transparent supply chains , durable workmanship and verifiable standards such as OEKO-TEX® and GOTS.

Why sustainable cuddly blankets are relevant right now
Home textiles have long been an area where "fast & cheap" worked surprisingly well. But the market is changing: More and more people are asking not only how soft something is, but also where it comes from – and how long it will last.
A sustainable throw blanket is therefore more than just a beautiful home accessory. It's a decision for material quality, responsible production, and durability – instead of short-lived trends.
The honest checklist: How to recognize sustainable cuddly blankets
- Material: Natural fibers (e.g., cotton) – ideally organic cotton (kbA) . Look for specific details rather than general terms.
- Origin & supply chain: Short distances and transparent production. “Made in Germany” can be a strong signal here – if it is communicated credibly and is verifiable.
- Craftsmanship: weave type, weight, and clean edges/finishes. Sustainable often also means robust , not just "super soft".
- Certification marks: Seals are helpful - as long as it is clear what they are testing (see below).
- Care & Durability: A blanket that is well cared for lasts longer. Durability is a key aspect of sustainability.
- Transparency: Good suppliers explain materials, standards and care in an understandable way - without red herrings.
Organic cotton (kbA): Why the material makes the difference
When it comes to cuddly blankets, the material determines how they feel against the skin, breathability, and suitability for everyday use. Organic cotton from controlled organic cultivation (kbA) is a key factor for many buyers because it generally meets stricter requirements for cultivation and processing.
- pleasant on the skin
- temperature-balancing
- robust with proper care
- Specific material details instead of empty phrases.
- Care instructions and grammage
- Certifications/Standards (e.g. GOTS)
Made in Germany: What it means for cuddly blankets
"Made in Germany" often signifies clearly defined quality processes and controllable production conditions for home textiles. At the same time, short transport routes and reliable manufacturing can contribute to improving the overall environmental impact.
For buyers, it is crucial that origin is not only claimed but plausibly explained: Where is it woven? How is it dyed? What standards apply? The more transparent the answers, the more credible the label.
OEKO-TEX® and GOTS: Guidance against greenwashing
Certificates are helpful if you know how to interpret them. Two of the best-known in the textile industry are:
Among other things, it tests for harmful substances in the final product. This is particularly relevant for products that come into contact with skin (depending on the class/application).
This typically includes organic fiber as well as environmental and social criteria along key processing steps. For many consumers, this is a strong indicator of more holistic standards.
Tip: Good suppliers openly explain which certificates apply to which product lines - and provide proof upon request.
Frequently asked questions about sustainable cuddly blankets
Are sustainable blankets automatically better?
Not automatically – but they are often more transparent regarding material and origin information. Specific criteria are crucial: material, workmanship, certifications, care instructions, and traceability of production. If these criteria are met and the style is reflected in our collections, you'll enjoy the garment for a long time.
Why are blankets made in Germany often more expensive?
Higher production and quality standards, wages, testing processes, and superior materials are reflected in the price. In practice, this often pays off in terms of durability and fewer replacement cycles . All our blankets are washable and can therefore provide enjoyment for a long time.
How do you care for cuddly blankets sustainably?
Follow the care instructions, choose lower temperatures, spin gently, and air dry whenever possible. Sustainability also means: don't over-care – often airing between washes is enough.
What size makes sense?
For babies, we recommend 75 x 100 cm. For children from 3 years old, we recommend 100 x 150 cm. For sofas and everyday use, sizes from 140 cm x 200 cm are ideal; our blankets and throws have a standard size of 150 x 200 cm. It is important that the size and weight are appropriate for the intended use.
Quotable (for editorial offices)
