A Minkster is a Minky fan who is a Minkster customer. We hope to convert many Minky lovers into Minksters.

Minky is a 100% Polyester fabric that is hypo-allergenic. It is super luxurious and silky soft. It has a soft pile and many people claim it feels as soft as mink or cashmere. Minky is a premium quality fabric so it tends to cost about 50% more than many other fabrics available on the market.

Our fabrics are ordered from U.S suppliers. Our products are each custom designed by talented designers and are then hand sewn with love by experienced seamstresses. Our designers and seamstresses all reside in Omaha, Nebraska and its surrounding communities.

While our blankets are not considered to be medically weighted blankets, many of our customers say our blankets feel a lot like a weighted blanket. Minky fabric comes in various weights and thicknesses. Depending on the materials used in your blanket, some will be heavier than others.

Unfortunately, we do not have any scientific studies that have proven our blankets help with any medical conditions. However, we have had numerous customers with medical conditions such as restless leg syndrome, chronic pain, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, autism, and more claim that our products have helped them relax, reduce anxiety, and sleep better. 

We encourage you to try one of our blankets for yourself and let us know what you think.
