The Best Cozy Blankets

Cuddling up with a warm throw blanket at the end of a long day at work or during a weekend movie marathon with the family is one of the most relaxing things you can do. However, finding the right throw blanket for your couch or bedroom can be complex, with so many designs, colors, sizes, and materials to pick.

If you’re prone to overheat, an enormous throw blanket made of faux fur or heavy wool could benefit. If you’re all about aesthetics and only need a blanket to brighten up your bed or a dreary sofa, a vibrant patterned design that coordinates with the rest of your seasonal decor can be just what you’re looking for.

A soft blanket is the most comforting way to keep warm in the winter, whether you’ll be cuddled under one in front of an outside heater or bundled up on the couch at home. While we’ve covered a variety of cozy blankets in the past, including the finest weighted blankets, a cooling comforter, and even picnic blankets, we’ve compiled a list of the best cozy blankets here.

Few Of the Best Cozy Blanket

1. Bedsure Microfiber Fleece Blanket

This blanket was popular among people looking for a blanket that was neither too warm nor too light, with over 87,000 five-star evaluations. According to one reviewer, it “has just the ideal Goldilocks balance of weight and warmth,” according to one reviewer. “This blanket is just what I need to keep me warm enough through all the seasons without requiring a lot of heavy clothes, so my whole body is happy, right down to my sensitive feet,” wrote another. Moreover, many reviews emphasized how much they enjoy the silky texture. “I was expecting softness, but I wasn’t expecting to want to roll up in it and simply rub my face on it,” one happy customer comments. “I guess I’m going to spend the rest of my life wrapped up in this blanket.” Another person refers to it as “SO FABULOUS. It was a lot softer than I had anticipated. I want to continue touching it.”

Another recurring theme in the reviews was that this blanket would make a wonderful gift. “I got three of them for Christmas presents – all for difficult individuals to buy for,” one reviewer notes, adding, “I will probably come back to this blanket in the future if I don’t know what to get someone for Christmas.” There’s nothing better than obtaining a wonderful, warm, SOFT blanket throughout the winter months.” And, as another reviewer puts it, “I’ve had mine for three years, and all I can say is that this blanket stands the test of time.” It has the same ultrasoft, velvety texture as before. The navy color hasn’t faded, and the high-quality stitching hasn’t let me down. There are no loose seams.”

2. Sherpa blanket with Micromink

Many people who live in colder climates appear to like this blanket. “I love this blanket,” writes one user, “we had some really cold days last week where we were at -30 with the windchill, then I had to keep the thermostats down owing to excessive power usage in the state. I did not get chilly at all. I had to throw it off occasionally because I was so warm.” “I am in the thick of Iowa winter right now, and our room gets a little chilly,” another comment. But don’t worry; this blanket is fantastic.” The silky texture of the blanket made it a hit with folks who frequently entertain, as one reviewer put it: “the comfiest blankets I’ve ever owned.” My friends and I often hold game evenings, and we fight over who gets to use the blankets.” According to one customer, the two-sided design makes it adaptable as well: “I use this blanket as a comforter because it is very soft and cozy.” I’m a hot person, so the velvet side is ideal for hot nights, and the Sherpa side is perfect for cold nights.”

3. Pure Wool Throw by Brooklinen

This massive throw is gentler than any other 100percent wool blanket we’ve seen, and it has a rustic but elegant look.

It’s dense and warm, woolly and soft yet not scratchy.

Why it’s great: While all of the throws we tested were toasty, the all-wool Brooklinen Pure Wool Throw is the coziest of them all. It’s the most hygge of our choices, and it’s perfect for a chilly day. It’s substantial, and the lightest and fluffiest of the six wool throws we tested, and our reviewers agreed that it was their favorite. While it doesn’t drape as beautifully as other more delicate throws we tested, we were impressed by its soft, non-scratchy texture. My skin is quite sensitive, and even linen can irritate me, but the Brooklinen never did. “If it didn’t have the fringe, it would be virtually ideal,” one tester said. (This was a general theme among our testers, with half of them dismissing the fringe as an unnecessary frill.)

4. Microfleece Travel Blanket with a Cozy Feel

Frequent flyers find this blanket to be a fantastic option for long flights because it’s small enough to pack yet “thicker than airline blankets with enough coverage (size) to keep you toasty at 39,000 feet.

5. Sherpa Blanket with Micromink

Many people who live in colder climates appear to like this blanket. “I love this blanket,” writes one user, “we had some really cold days last week where we were at -30 with the windchill, then I had to keep the thermostats down owing to excessive power usage in the state.
