Murphy Blanket vs. Bunny Blanket: Choosing a Baby Blanket

Two blankets, two very different jobs

The Organic Cotton Murphy Blanket and the Bunny Blanket - Bunny Jacquard Fawn look similar at a glance, but they differ in fabric, size, and care. The Murphy is a 100% organic cotton square at 39.4 inches by 39.4 inches, while the Bunny is 100% cotton at 100cm by 100cm. Those numbers matter: the Murphy is slightly larger and made from organic cotton, while the Bunny uses conventional cotton in a jacquard weave. Neither blanket comes with safe-sleep guidance in the supplied information, so treat both as versatile comfort items rather than sleep solutions. This comparison sticks to what the catalog confirms so you can match a blanket to your routine.

Fabric and feel: organic cotton vs. jacquard cotton

Both blankets are cotton, but the type and weave change how they perform.

• Organic Cotton Murphy Blanket - Bumblebees: Made from 100% organic cotton, described as breathable and gentle on sensitive skin. Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals, per the product information. The bee print is delicate and the blanket is positioned for travel, cuddling, or lightweight use.
• Bunny Blanket - Bunny Jacquard Fawn: Made from 100% cotton, with a jacquard weave that creates a textured bunny pattern. The catalog notes cotton's ability to breathe while keeping the body warm, and describes the blanket as warm and cosy. No organic certification is stated.

Size and shape: what 39.4 inches vs. 100cm means for you

The Murphy Blanket measures 39.4 inches square, which is roughly 100cm. The Bunny Blanket is listed as 100cm by 100cm. In practice, they are nearly the same size, though the Murphy's inch measurement suggests a slightly larger cut. The Murphy also notes a hand-cut tolerance of +/- 1cm to 1.5cm, so exact dimensions can vary. Neither blanket is shaped or sized for a specific age range in the supplied information, so use them as multi-purpose squares for cuddling, pram cover, or tummy time—not as fitted bedding.

Key specs at a glance

• Organic Cotton Murphy Blanket - Bumblebees: 100% organic cotton; 39.4 inches x 39.4 inches; cold gentle machine wash in a laundry bag; do not tumble dry. The organic cotton and larger square suit sensitive skin and versatile use, but the specific wash and dry instructions mean you need a laundry bag and air-drying space.

  

• Bunny Blanket - Bunny Jacquard Fawn: 100% cotton; 100cm x 100cm; jacquard weave; described as warm and cosy. The jacquard texture adds visual interest and warmth, but no care instructions are supplied, so you'll need to check the label on arrival.

  

Care and practicality: what you need to know before washing

The Murphy Blanket has clear care instructions: cold gentle machine wash in a laundry bag, do not tumble dry, and follow the care label. That makes it low-fuss but requires air-drying. The Bunny Blanket's supplied information does not include care instructions, so you should check the sewn-in label before the first wash. Both are cotton, which generally tolerates gentle washing, but without explicit guidance for the Bunny, treat it conservatively—cold wash and air dry—until you confirm.

Which blanket fits your routine?

Choose the Organic Cotton Murphy Blanket if you want an organic cotton option for a baby with sensitive skin, prefer a slightly larger square, and don't mind air-drying. Its bee print and lightweight description make it a good travel or cuddle blanket. Choose the Bunny Blanket if you like the textured jacquard look, want a warm layer, and are comfortable checking the care label yourself. Neither blanket is confirmed as newborn-specific or safe-sleep approved, so keep them for supervised use and cuddles. For a baby blanket gift, both come in one size (OS) and are ready to give, but the Murphy's organic credentials may appeal more to eco-conscious parents.
