Or, skip the comforter completely and add another blanket underneath. The Coyuchi comes in only two sizes, and the sides are likely too short to tuck in, but I preferred the look of it simply draped on the bed, to show off every detail. Coyuchi offers a day return policy. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The thick embroidery thread on the surface is an invitation for toenails and pet claws to snag.
How it feels: Pleasantly coarse and scratchy, but not so rough that it irritates the skin. I especially liked the heather gray color I tested, which showcases the high-quality fibers nicely.
This thin blanket feels almost as light as our summer-weight picks, but it packs enough warmth to compete with some of the heaviest blankets on this list. The blanket is generously sized, with plenty of width to tuck into the sides of the bed. In testing it shrank less than other wool blankets and actually looked better after a wash than it did out of the package—the fibers plumped up nicely. Faribault offers a day return policy for any reason, and beyond 30 days it will repair or replace blankets with defects.
Also, many wool blankets smell strongly of wet animal when they come out of the washing machine, and this one is no exception. But the smell disappeared once the blanket was completely dry, which took only about an hour on low heat. It also produced a lot of lint in the dryer, even after several washes. This tightly woven twill blanket feels soft against the skin and adds a clean, classic look to any bed.
It has been indestructible in long-term testing. How it feels: Thin yet weighty, with a slightly fuzzy back and a smoother, tightly woven front. After countless washes, this blanket still looks new, and it is just so warm and soft on a winter night with a fluffy comforter. The simple, no-fuss twill design looks like it belongs in a beach house with a lighthouse view out the window. In our wear tests it held up to our child and pet testers jumping and playing on the bed, with no visible damage after that abuse.
It also shrank the least of the heavy cotton blankets we tried. Flaws but not dealbreakers: We wish the sides were a little longer for tucking in—if you have a tall mattress, you might want to size up if you can. This organic cotton blanket feels more luxurious and springy than other waffle-weave blankets we tried. The open weave keeps it breathable while adding beautiful texture. It had more loft than any other cotton blanket we tested, which made it feel light on the skin.
Our testers spent a good amount of time just wrapped up in it while sitting on the couch. Under a comforter it added significant warmth on a cold night. Flaws but not dealbreakers: This blanket will snag, but that just comes with the territory for this kind of open, airy weave. The raised, loose yarns are more vulnerable to pet claws, rings with edges, and long toenails.
The ribbed texture of this cotton blanket looks unfussy on the bed. Its thicker cotton top is backed with a layer of gauze, a combination that makes it durable but still airy to sleep under. It looks sharp but casual on top of the bed.
The ribbed texture may resemble stiff corduroy, but this blanket feels more like seersucker—relaxed and airy. After a wash, it crinkles up just a bit and looks even fluffier. The Riley has two layers: The back is made from cotton gauze that is, a lightweight, loosely woven fabric , and the front is made from thicker, dense cotton that adds structure, so it sits straight and smooth on the bed. Also—and this is a complaint we have for most blankets—we wish the Riley came in livelier colors.
I went to six big-box and department stores to see and touch every blanket they stocked, and I assembled a list of blankets. These included options made from cotton, wool, acrylic, and polyester, in several weights and types of weave. In , , and , I researched an additional 76 blankets in a variety of fabrics and styles.
I tested and, in some cases, retested Comfort: A blanket should be soft and delightful to crawl under. Durability: The blankets we recommend should withstand years of regular wear and tear, and many, many washes—within reason.
Blankets with a loose, open weave, like waffle weave or gauze, snag more easily than blankets with a tighter, more opaque weave. If you live with kids who love to scramble up on the bed or cats who love to knead things, you might want to avoid the most delicate blankets. So consider wearing socks or keeping those nails short.
Blanket designs come and go, but our picks are the blankets that have been consistently available over the years, or the ones companies have assured us will remain steadily in stock. We prefer low-maintenance fibers: washable wools, sturdy fleece that holds up to lots of laundering, and cotton, which can be washed in hot water to eliminate germs.
A good return policy and solid customer support: Bedding is an individualized preference—you may get a new blanket only to discover that its style or texture is not for you. Our picks are all from brands with strong return policies and customer support. We consider a comfortable everyday blanket to be a worthy investment for great sleep. In our original testing, in , I spent about four weeks testing 21 blankets, measuring and examining each one out of the package, washing and drying them, and measuring them again to calculate shrinkage.
I examined the seams and construction and spread blankets on my king-size bed to check length and drape, eliminating some as I went. My husband and I slept under 18 blankets for a night each with a comforter; then I eliminated several more and laundered the rest an additional four times.
I also put them through wear testing with my thenyear-old and my dog roughhousing, jumping on the bed, playing puppy tug-of-war, and rubbing the fabrics together. After all that, I brought a final 12 blankets to our New York City office to let a panel of six staffers test them, and then I determined our picks. Four of those original picks are still in this guide today: the L. For updates to this guide in , , and , I measured, washed and dried, and re-measured 20 additional blankets and three new versions of previously tested blankets.
I again evaluated the construction of each, checked them all for warmth, and either slept a full night or took a nap under each.
I also wear tested them, again with the help of my dog and my child, and also by running the edge of a pair of pinking shears roughly over the surface to see whether that caused any damage. Most of the blankets we tested had instructions to tumble-dry with low heat, but a couple needed to be air-dried or tumble-dried with no heat which was a challenge.
For cotton and wool especially, following the care instructions will minimize shrinkage. For all materials, intense heat could damage the fibers over time.
