Bamboo Muslin or Premium Jersey Cotton?
Both fabrics are beautiful. Both are made to the same elly standard. The question isn't which is better - it's which is right for your baby, your nursery, and how you like to use a blanket. Here's how to choose.
Bamboo muslin is an open-weave fabric - lighter, airier, and naturally temperature-regulating. It's the go-to for Singapore's warmth and humidity, for babies with sensitive skin, and for parents who want a blanket that works as a swaddle, stroller cover, and everyday layer all at once. Premium jersey cotton is a knit fabric - slightly warmer, stretchier, and with a cosier handfeel that works beautifully in a cooler, air-conditioned room.
🎋 Choose Bamboo Muslin if...
- Your baby runs warm or sweats easily at night
- You're in a fan-only room or lightly air-conditioned space
- Baby has sensitive skin, eczema, or allergy concerns
- You want a lighter, more open drape for swaddling or stroller use
- You're looking for a gift - the soft texture and gift-box presentation make it feel special
🧶 Choose Premium Jersey Cotton if...
- Your nursery runs cooler with heavy air-conditioning
- You want a slightly warmer, cosier feel for cooler nights
- Baby loves a snug, stretchy wrap that moves with them
- You prefer a denser, more structured blanket for the cot
- You're dressing up the nursery - jersey prints are vibrant and bold
🔬 What OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 actually means Every elly bamboo blanket carries OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification - the most trusted independent textile safety standard in the world. It means every component of the fabric (not just the outer layer) has been tested and verified to be free from over 100 harmful substances, including pesticide residues, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. For newborn skin that is still developing its protective barrier, this certification matters.
