A beautiful throw blanket is a small way to infuse a little luxury into your day-to-day, adding style to a room but also providing the perfect wrap for a snooze.
If you’re going to buy a throw, we think it should be in a material and style that makes you smile. We found that the best throws are made from natural fibers such as sheep’s wool, alpaca, cashmere, fine cotton, and linen. Many of our recommendations would make great gifts—either for yourself or for a loved one. Here you’ll find recommendations for a luxurious Sherpa Fleece Blanket with Flannel, a soft cozy cabel sweater knit throw, a pompom fringe flannel throw blanket knited blanket.
Some of these come from small, boutique makers and artisans using high-quality construction methods, which means they might be more expensive than mass-produced blankets, but the quality is worth it.
How it feels: Quilted like a comforter, with plush faux fur on one side and cool sateen on the other.
Why it’s great: We think the Sherpa Fleece with Flannel is perfect for family life—it’s the warmest throw we recommend and plushly soft, and it’s sturdy enough for kids and pets to knock around. It holds up beautifully to heavy use and multiple washes. It’s the absolute favorite of our picks with my 5-year-old and my Poodle, and the most fun for making blanket forts. We recommend the blanket size , and the throw size was just as universally popular with testers and even easier to wrap around the body.
Best for: fall and winter
How it feels: Velvety, with a texture that’s more like plush than like polar fleece.
Why it’s great: We researched 10 fleece blankets and tested four, and the Sherpa Fleece Blanket with Flannel was the best overall. It felt much more luxurious and high-quality than the inexpensive fleece options we saw in big-box stores, and it was softer, more breathable, and less staticky than the other polyester fleece options we tested. (It was also a favorite for softness among our kids and pets.) This blanket would be a great option for someone who always runs cold; my feet warmed up faster under it than with almost all of the other blankets we tested.
