3. Setup and Initial Preparation
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the blanket from its packaging.
- Fluffing: Due to packaging, the blanket may appear compressed. Gently shake and air out the blanket for a few hours to allow the down fill to expand and regain its loft. This can be done by laying it flat or placing it in a dryer on a no-heat, air-fluff cycle for 10-15 minutes.
- Placement: Position the blanket on your bed. It can be used as a standalone blanket or as an insert within a duvet cover.
4. Usage Guidelines
The Westin Mid-Weight Down Blanket is designed for year-round comfort. Its down fill helps regulate temperature, providing warmth in cooler conditions and breathability in warmer ones.
- Seasonal Use: The mid-weight design makes it versatile for both summer and winter, adapting to room temperature.
- Layering: For additional warmth in very cold environments, the blanket can be layered with other bedding.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your down blanket.
- Washing: The blanket is machine washable. Use a large capacity washing machine with cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. To help fluff the down and prevent clumping, add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer. Ensure the blanket is completely dry before storing or reusing to prevent mildew. This may require multiple drying cycles.
- Storage: Store in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing for extended periods to maintain loft.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, spot clean with a mild detergent and water, then air dry thoroughly.

7. Troubleshooting
- Blanket feels too warm: The mid-weight design is intended for balanced warmth. If you find it too warm, consider adjusting your room temperature or using lighter sleepwear.
