13 best throw blankets to add flair to your living space (and to snuggle up under!)

This chenille sherpa back throw with waffle pattern is Pottery Barn’s best seller, and it’s not hard to see why. The double-sided blanket is made with a fetching recycled chenille waffle weave on top and the coziest recycled sherpa underneath. (Which means it looks gorgeous draped on the couch, but still offers tremendous comfort when you snuggle up!) It comes in four gorgeous accent colors—ivory, cardinal, loden, and tobacco—and is totally machine washable. This fabric’s classic color options and thick, waffle knit chenille make it an easy top pick for our list. Best of all it’s currently on sale!

If you’re looking for a versatile throw you’ll want to drag everywhere from the soccer sidelines to the Netflix frontlines, the Original Puffy Blanket from Rumpl is your new bestie. The colorful insulated blankets offer all the warmth and wind breaking performance of your favorite puffy coat, but with the ability to wrap yourself up in a cozy little burrito. Even though they’re lightweight enough to snuggle under on a summer night, and compact enough to pack down into a convenient included pouch, they’re also warm enough to keep you toasty on fall camping trips or around a winter bonfire. Our family is totally obsessed!

This one may be enormous, but that doesn’t mean my kids haven’t fought over it. The insanely snuggly Marshmallow throw blanket from Unhide might be the most coveted blanket that’s ever entered our house and made its way from the living room to bedrooms and back again depending on who wins the battle for custody. The dreamy, plush pile–which comes in 12 furry hues–feels silky soft and unlike other fuzzy blankets doesn’t look matted or flat over time. It’s also got a bit of heft to it, offering a calming effect that’s similar to a weighted blanket. The only draw back is that it’s too big for our washing machine and we’ve had to cart it to the laundromat. Still, totally worth it.

Far too often buyers think sustainable, eco-friendly products are out of their price range. Well, Quince is here to change that mindset. Made from 100% organic cotton and OEKO-TEX® certified dyes that ensure the throw is free from any harmful toxins or chemicals, this light and airy throw is the giant baby swaddle you’ve secretly been dreaming of. It’s a great throw for warmer nights when you want to be under a blanket without getting sweaty, but totally suitable for chillier months as well.

You know how you have that favorite sweater that’s just the right fit and provides the perfect amount of warmth? The Branch Knit Throw Blanket  is like that sweater—in blanket form. This cozy yet breathable throw is made with 100% organic cotton woven into a unique cable knit pattern that looks perfectly at home on the couch or across the foot of your bed. We also love that you can just throw it in the washing machine. And that over time, it even seems to get softer!

There’s a reason sherpa is a popular go-to material for blankets. It’s super soft, warm, and provides the coziest of blanket cuddles. This super popular throw (which has its own army of evangelists and over 66k 5-star reviews!) comes in king, queen, or throw blanket size, making it an option for a bedspread too. The material is cloud soft, comes in a ton of great colors and it’s machine washable. At this price, get two!

First of all, L.L. Bean is an institution. From their long-standing commitment to quality to their stellar return policy to back it up, they’re a no brainer. Wool blankets, on the other hand, would usually give us pause. They’re often dry clean only and if you’ve ever met kids, you know there’s a solid chance your throw blankets are going to be thrown up on at some point. Well, this one breaks the mold. Not only is it machine washable, it’s also not as scratchy as other wool options and made in the USA at the iconic Pendleton Woolen Mills. You’ll have this blanket for years to come, so enjoy it!

With dozens of colors and patterns, tens of thousands of 5-star reviews and a price tag under 20 bucks, the math is mathing on this Kohl’s kiddo favorite. Our pint-sized sources tell us it’s the “coziest blanket ever” and because we’ve had to fall asleep next to them in order to get any sleep whatsoever, we’re inclined to agree. And if you’re always trying to come up with birthday party gift ideas, we highly recommend buying a stack to give as gifts while you’re adding to cart.

From their calming effects to their ability to offer a deeper sleep, we’re fully on the weighted blanket train. And while they’re great for bedtime, we kind of want that comforting pressure as often as possible. Enter the Baloo Living Weighted Throw. After testing a handful of weighted styles, this one is a stand out for a few reasons. One, it’s made from cotton which makes it impressively breathable, even in warmer temps. Second, the design. The quilted pockets keep the minuscule glass beads evenly distributed, even after washing or transporting. And, speaking of washing, you can easily do that too! The icing on the cake? It comes in plastic-free packaging with it’s own tote bag for travel. (Because you’re not going to want to snuggle without it.)

The bright geometrical pattern and delicious cotton blend fabric makes Happy Habitat’s Puzzle Eco Throws the perfect intersection of decor and function. (Seriously, as a gift they please even your design snob pals!) Plus, Happy Habitat is a small business in the Kansas City area where owner Karrie Dean makes each blanket from local or recycled materials. What’s not to love?

Some buyers want a muted throw that blends in. Some do not! The Nader Throw Blanket is the perfect choice if you want your throw to stand out while also providing warmth and coziness on cooler nights. This option comes in 37 beautiful colors and is on the lighter side, making it easy to drape over a chair or hang on a blanket rack.

Looking for a chunky knit throw to keep you warm? We found it. Choose among five lovely color palettes and four different sizes to find the perfect blanket for you. This throw is 100% hand-knit, non-shedding, and machine washable. A great gift option for sure!

Sometimes a throw blanket isn’t enough. The Sherpa Heated Throw from Westinghouse is a great choice for chilly climates to bring instant warmth and comfort. It’s made from a high-quality sherpa that’s cozy enough on its own, but offers the added bonus of six heating levels. It’s also machine washable and has an automatic shut-off feature for safety. You’ll never be cold again!
