Blankets here cost from about $59 to $1,449. Options include lightweight puffer blankets, cozy lambswool throws, knit knits and heavyweight woven blankets.

For warmth, natural fibers like lambswool and alpaca trap heat and breathe, while synthetic puffer fills provide easy care and packability. Consider the weight and loft; a heavier throw is ideal for cold nights, a lighter knit works for layering.

Check care instructions, many wool blankets require gentle wash or dry-cleaning, whereas cotton or synthetic blends can be machine washed. Look for reinforced edges or a backing to prevent fraying, and verify the size matches your bed or sofa.
