If you're looking for a plush comforter for your bed, this Vellux bed blanket will do the trick. Also available on Bed Bath & Beyond, $85 and Walmart, $56.Whether you’re looking for a blanket to go on the couch or your bed, these eight plush blankets will keep you warm and cozy. Most blankets are machine washable, but some require gentler care. Whether you choose a throw, bed, or even a weighted blanket, you’ll have to clean your blanket eventually, so consider the care instructions. For extra warmth, consider blankets with a layer of filling or a design that layers more than one piece of fabric.įinally, consider the size and format that suits you best. Beyond GSM (which isn't always available), look at how the manufacturer describes the weight (light, mid-weight, or heavy) and warmth (medium, very warm, or appropriate for multiple seasons). It’s pretty standard for blankets to have a GSM of 250 or higher, but the higher the GSM, the heavier the blanket.
To figure out a blanket's warmth, you'll want to consider the grams per square meter (GSM) measurement, which describes the thickness of the textile. Fleece blankets or those made of microfiber are a little more varied - they can be lightweight and velvety or similar to fluffy faux fur or sherpa.
Faux fur or “minky” blankets have softer, shaggier fibers that can resemble real fur. Blankets described as "sherpa" are usually thick and plush, like sheep wool, but are made of vegan material. While most plush blankets are made from fuzzy synthetic polyester (often polyester fleece or soft microfiber), certain words can indicate their texture. These cozy blankets vary in texture from velvety to fluffy, so a lot of your buying decision will come down to personal preference. When you're feeling chilly, there’s nothing better than snuggling up with one of the best plush blankets.
