From Soft to Luxury Options, These Are Our Favorite Throw Blankets (2024)

Our Top Picks

When shopping for a blanket, you certainly don't have to sacrifice coziness for looks—just take Goosebumps’ Adult Swaddles. Available in over 130 different styles, there’s an abundance of options to choose from. Opt for a bold solid color, a unique pattern, or an ultra-chic ruffled blanket, depending on your preference. The materials used to make each swaddle varies based on the style, but we’ve found that the blankets closely resemble jersey material.

This throw is exceptionally soft and comfortable, sure to keep you comfy as you lounge with family or curl up with a book. And while it definitely warmed us up, it didn’t cause us to overheat or get uncomfortably hot. We also love that it’s machine washable and easy to clean, but make sure you wash it separately from the rest of your laundry.

If you need to take it on the go, these swaddles are compact and easy to travel with. And although it can lose a bit of shape over time, we’ve found that you can quickly refresh the blanket by having two people pull on either side. After years of use, we’re happy to report that they still hold up great.

There's no need to splurge on a luxury blanket to enjoy the comforts of a snuggly throw blanket. This affordable Oversized Supersoft Plush Throw from The Big One is available in 16 eclectic styles without sacrificing comfort. While not all styles are our cup of tea design-wise, you’ll find neutral tones, classic plaids, and even a stylish ribbed option that are all effortlessly chic.

The fluffy polyester material and large size make this blanket incredibly cozy and high-quality despite the low price tag. Plus, it’s fully machine washable and won’t lose its softness over time. However, we’ve noticed a few loose threads and slight color fading with continued use. Still, the ultra-soft texture looks cozy and comfortable in any living space, combining a relaxed, attractive look and feel for an overall great value. What’s more, it’s even Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it’s been tested for potentially harmful substances.

If you have a flexible budget, you might consider an extremely luxurious throw blanket like the Cozy Earth Cashmere Tassel Throw. While this throw is expensive, its price point is actually pretty comparable to other blankets made from 100 percent cashmere. You’ll want to note that it’s only available in two colors, but both are neutral, timeless, and should match most decor styles.

What’s more, it’s luxuriously soft and exceptionally plush. The ultra-warm blanket doesn’t just keep you warm in the colder months, but it also doubles as an elegant piece all year long. We also appreciate its easy care instructions, as you can both machine wash and tumble dry this blanket. It’s held up well over the span of a few months, with no signs of wear and tear.

While 60 x 50 inches is a pretty standard size for a throw blanket, you can also opt to purchase their oversized cashmere pick, which measures 91 x 74 inches. However, we think the standard size reigns supreme. While some throw blankets are almost too large and unmanageable, this one is the perfect size to snuggle up with on the couch and toss around when you want to layer up.

Even when not in use, we love how this pick looks draped over an armchair or a decorative blanket storage option, like a ladder. Plus, it’s machine washable for easy maintenance. Although it’s expensive, we think its high-quality construction and top-notch texture make it a worthy investment for your space.

Featuring a velvet plush fabric on one side and a warm Sherpa on the other, this Embossed Velvet Plush Reverse Sherpa Throw is exceptionally cozy and stylish to boot (Better Homes & Gardens is owned by The Spruce's parent company, Dotdash Meredith). It’s available in eight different styles, including a few seasonal options if you like to cuddle up in the winter. We do, however, wish there were a few more neutral tones available on the website.

We love just how soft and cozy this blanket feels, as it definitely keeps us warm during those colder months. The blanket is machine washable, but you’ll want to note that it can’t be put in the dryer. But considering its luxurious texture and unmatched value, we think this is a very minor caveat. Plus, it’s held up very well in the span of a few months, with very minimal wear and tear despite consistent use.

If you tend to overheat easily or just like to snuggle up all year round, a lightweight throw blanket may just be for you. We like Brooklinen’s Lightweight Textured Throw Blanket, which feels more comparable to a textured quilt than your average fleecy throw.

Made with 100 percent long-staple cotton, we love just how soft and comfortable this blanket is without being overly warm. In fact, we’ve found that this blanket has enough heft to provide enough comfort, but won’t cause you to overheat underneath. It’s a great blanket to keep on your couch either year-round or just during the warmer months.

You’ll want to note that this blanket is dry-clean only, which may be a deal breaker for those who are expecting daily wear and tear. And while it’s only available in three colors, we appreciate its design-forward look and elegant construction.

This blanket definitely has a more airy and lightweight construction compared to other options we’ve tested, making it an especially great pick for those who like to have a throw on hand year-round. It’s exceptionally soft and comfortable, and when you’re ready to clean it, simply throw it in the washing machine. Plus, even after two years, this blanket looks as good as new with no signs of wear. So while this throw is definitely on the pricey side, it’s an investment that you can rely on for quite some time.

Make a statement in your space with a bright and bold pick, like the Vera Bradley Plush Throw Blanket. Available in 21 unique and design-forward patterns, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. However, you’ll want to note that this blanket isn’t available in any solid colors, so be ready to purchase something eye-catching. You can even choose to customize your blanket on the Vera Bradley website if you want. Embroider your throw with a monogram, image, or text for an additional fee.

LL Bean's Wicked Plus Sherpa Throw is a classic blanket from a classic retailer. It's available in two sizes and five solid colors in a comfortable, super-soft design. You'll find fleece on one side of the blanket and Sherpa on the other, both of which are unbelievably cozy. Your biggest conflict when you snuggle will be which side to have closest to your skin.

The blanket comes in both 50 x 60-inch and 60 x 80-inch sizes. The extra-large size is helpful for taller people or cuddled-up couples who don't want a single toe exposed. However, the standard large size should be suitable for most people. We also love how easy it is to clean, as it can stand up to everyday messes and can simply be thrown in the washer and dryer. After over a year of use, this blanket has held up exceptionally well, with no signs of wear throughout.

A ribbed throw can add subtle yet design-forward depth to any space, and of this category, we especially love the Oversized Rib Knit Throw from Parachute. It’s knit from a blend of 92 percent Turkish cotton and 9 percent polyester, giving it a snuggly but not overly-warm texture. We love the elegant design of this blanket, as it makes for a timeless addition to any space. It’s available in four neutral colors and one seasonal color, all of which are subdued and classic.

It’s also one of the largest options we’ve tested at 60 x 80 inches, but it’s still relatively lighter weight. This makes it suitable for those who like to cozy up year-round without having to worry about overheating. While it may not be as soft and cozy as a typical fleece or sherpa, we think it’s a great option to have on hand, especially during the warmer months. Additionally, we appreciate its simple care instructions, as it’s machine washable for an easy refresh. However, while it’s generally held up well over several months, we did notice minimal color fading and thinning over time.

Pendleton is a family-owned business that's been operating for well over a century and is known for its wool blankets. This colorful blanket is ornamented with a unique and bold design featuring a Western-inspired pattern sure to make a statement in your home. Pendleton makes each of these wool blankets in the United States, which means it's more of an investment piece than some throws. However, the blanket is high-quality enough to become an heirloom for generations. We especially love the colorful stripes and geometric patterns on this wool/cotton blend blanket.

Despite mostly being made from wool, it doesn't have that scratchy feeling that sometimes accompanies that material. Instead, it's soft and smooth to the touch. This blanket is both stylish and functional, and while it makes for a great gift, the luxe throw is also ideal for your own home. Note that the manufacturer recommends dry cleaning this blanket, so you may have to put in a bit more effort to care for it regularly. However, we're glad to report that after over a year of use, there has been very little wear and tear on this high-end blanket
