Cozy Blankets

Sale: Save up to $40 off

Comfort is everything, especially when Luxome is concerned. As the market leader in weighted blankets, we consider them experts in all things cozy and it doesn’t get much cozier than this pick. It has a heavier thread count in comparison to some others brands, which makes it more durable while remaining breathable. Sounds good to us!

If you love all things plushy and soft, we suggest going for the blanket in its minky fabric, which will keep you snuggly through the cold season. For hot sleepers, grab it in bamboo lyocell. It’s cooling to the touch, moisture-wicking and helps naturally regulate temperature. Regardless of which one you choose, the blanket won’t bunch or get bent out of shape. Its fill is made of hypoallergenic glass beads, too, which are certified led-free and are so small that they’re hardly detectible. Available in multiple sizes, weights and colors, it can be purchased with an integrated cover ($115) or as a two piece with a removable cover ($130). Best of all, it’s machine-washable and comes with a gorgeous oxford tote, perfect for travel and gifting!

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket

This wouldn’t be the cozy edit without a mention of the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket. Named as one of the best blankets we reviewed, its present-wrapped presentation is enough to click “add to cart,” but its decadent, widely loved fuzziness is what takes the cake. Though a splurge, it’ll be your gift recipient’s new go-to blanket.

Tuddrom Extra Soft Fuzzy Faux Fur Throw Blanket

Feel like you’re receiving the coziest hug ever with the Tuddrom Extra Soft Fuzzy Faux Fur Throw Blanket. If its indulgent faux fur isn’t enough to sell you, take a note from the near-33,000 satisfied reviewers who adore its brushed softness, lightness and wide color variety.
