These Are the 10 Softest, Coziest Blankets Ever, According to Experts

Is there anything better than the feel of a soft, cozy blanket? When it comes to sleeping, lounging, or snuggling, the best blankets offer warmth and comfort—but can also add a nice touch of style to any room. “Blankets are also a great way to make your living environment feel more seasonal—like draping a linen blanket over an outdoor sofa in the summertime, or a tartan cashmere over a sofa in the winter,” says Julie Brayton, Principal Designer of Brayton Interiors.

There are, of course, different kinds of blankets for various needs and preferences: While a traditional blanket is “often used to finish or complete the bed, to protect the sheets, and add a layer of warmth,” a throw is typically smaller in size and can be found “draped over the arm of a chair or sofa” to add a finishing touch to a room, explains Lucy Penfield, Principal Designer of Lucy Interior Design. The material, feel, and level of warmth are all factors you’ll want to consider, too—whether you’re looking for breathable and lightweight or thick and plush.

With so many varieties, styles, and colors, it might seem challenging to find the perfect blanket—which is why we pulled together some of the best options for every preference and price point.
