footmuff NOT lined in polyester fleece?

So I'm looking for a footmuff / nest / cocoon type thing for a newborn to go in a lie-flat seat, parent facing. She's due in August, so I'd rather not have sheepskin - I know it's supposed to keep them cool in hot weather, but I struggle to believe it. Everything else seems to be fleece - most of it polyester fleece, which I would hate to lie on in hot weather!. Does anyone know of a product that is lined in cotton - organic cotton would be even better! Am struggling to find anything. Nice colours or patterns would be a bonus!

Honestly, I wouldn't worry. By the end of September you will want your LO snuggled up again. I would just use a blanket to see you through the warm days TBH or get a footmuff where the top zips off. I had a mid July baby and he came out of hospital in a jumper and coat and stayed in it all summer. Last July we dug his snow suit out again because it was freezing!!

We had this for DD. I liked it because easy to unwrap without waking them up.

Mamas and Papas always have cotton lined options, not sure how compatible they are with other pushchairs.

Look on amazon.co.uk in the pushchair accessories, there are a few cotton or terry liners there. There is also the Sunshine kids Snuzzler, a liner/headhugger/support which is cotton and looks a good choice for a newborn. You could use it within the footmuff and would then have the choice of using a light blanket if the weather is warm or the top of the footmuff if cold. Also easy to remove and wash in event of sickness or nappy leaks, at £12.99 I'd get 2!

Why not get one custom made? Snunkie make beautiful footmuffs to your requirements. Have had a few items made by them.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone!
I saw this in mothercare in the sale (out of stock on the website, but they had 2 in the shop when I went in for something else). I really lilked the design and it's snuggly, but obviously not cotton or colourful - but very good for the sale price! She's going on a lie-flat stroller seat, so I wanted something quite padded and enclosing as she won't be in a proper pram.

I also saw this on the tesco website - wallaboo leaf wrapper in red which looks very cute and is pretty (first girl, so looking forward to a few pretty bits and pieces). I've got the Mothercare footmuff, and ordered the wallaboo wrapper to put inside so the baby is lying on cotton, and I can wrap her in that without needing the footmuff cover on hot days. Hopefully that will work ok. Phew, I've no idea why but I'm finding every little decision for this baby really hard work - I think it's because it will be my last, and because she's a girl I want some pretty new things for her!
