The 8 Best Blankets of 2020

For all-season comfort, the Boll & Branch Waffle Bed Blanket is a cozy and stylish choice. The blanket is made from 100 percent organic cotton that's GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and Fair Trade certified, so it's ethically produced and free from harmful chemicals. Because it's lightweight, it's perfect as your main blanket in the summer and pairs well with a quilt or comforter for extra warmth when it gets chilly. The blanket has hand-bound edges and a waffle weave that adds texture and softness without making the blanket super bulky.

The blanket is available in three sizes—twin, full/queen, and king/California king—and you can choose from four neutral colors that are sure to match your bedroom or living room decor.

If you want to add an extra dose of cozy that feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud, look no further than a fleece blanket—like the Balichun Luxury 330 GSM. This warm but lightweight blanket comes in twin, queen or king sizes, as well as travel or throw-sized options, so you can easily find the perfect fit for your bed. With 16 different color choices, you can also add a pop of color to your bed or keep things neutral and calm depending on your mood.

Additionally, the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out for yourself before you commit. If you’re looking for plush and comfort, a fleece blanket is always a great choice.

When the wind howls and your heating bill skyrockets, adding a wool blanket to your bed is a great way to stay warm without cranking up the heat. The Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool Blanket is made from pure virgin wool so it’s incredibly soft to the touch and machine washable. Forget what you think you know about wool blankets—this one isn’t scratchy or harsh and will get softer each time you throw it in the wash. It comes in 14 colors, ranging from traditional red plaid to solid grey or blue, and ranges in sizes from twin to king.

While wool may be too warm for summer months, it’s a great choice for your bed during the winter. A well-made wool blanket will last a lifetime, and we love the Pendleton brand because it will never go out of style and hold up year after year.  

This set comes with two blankets: one for your bed and one for your sofa or chair. The bed blanket comes in full, queen or king sizes; color options include ivory, blue and tan. The throw measures 50 inches by 60 inches, and it’s perfect for those chilly Sunday mornings with a cup of tea and a book. The blanket has an automatic 2-hour timer, helping you fall asleep without overheat throughout the night. It has five temperature settings, so you can crank the heat up or just add a bit of warmth when you need it. The queen and king-sized blankets include two controllers, allowing you to customize each side of the blanket.

Reviewers love the multiple heat settings and say it makes crawling into bed on those chilly February nights much more relaxing. Add a heated blanket to your bed this winter and watch those heating bills drop.

If you suffer from allergies or sensitive skin, organic bedding is a great way to reduce irritation. Made without pesticides or harsh chemicals, the Pottery Barn Organic Diamond Blanket is stylish, warm and, made from 100 percent organic cotton. It comes in twin, full/queen, and king/California king sizes, and is available in five different colors—so you can customize it to your liking. The organic cotton holds up well wash after wash, which makes it perfect for pet owners. We also love the diamond weave pattern, which can add a bit of texture to your bed without overpowering your decor scheme.

For an additional charge, you can even add a custom monogram—always a thoughtful gift idea for family and loved ones. If you want a great all-around blanket, the Pottery Barn Organic Diamond Blanket is a great choice for every climate. 

If you want something extra soft and cozy to curl up with at night, a faux fur blanket is sure to do the trick. This pick from Best Home Fashion is especially snuggly, with soft faux fur and microfiber lining that will make it hard to get out of bed. It looks great draped over the back of your couch or armchair or at the bottom of your freshly made bed.

The cozy blanket is available in four sizes: 54 x 36 inches, 58 x 36 inches, 58 x 60 inches, or an oversized 58 x 84 inches. There are 12 chic neutral colors to choose from, including champagne, iced fox, coyote, and more.

If you wake up night after night sweaty and steamy (but still crave that cozy “tucked in” feeling), we’ve got the blanket for you. The Soothe Lab Cooling Weighted Blanket keeps you comfortable at night and provides a gentle weight that helps many people fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

This weighted blanket is made from bamboo viscose, which is incredibly breathable. That means the blanket won't trap your own body heat and allows for plenty of airflow to keep you from getting sweaty in the middle of the night. Bamboo is also more absorbent than cotton, so the blanket will wick away any sweat throughout the night so you feel cooler.

This blanket measures 60 x 80 inches and comes in two weights: 15 pounds and 20 pounds.

When the weather gets chilly, the blanket can also be used to add extra warmth and style to your bed.

The soft cotton knit throw comes in two sizes, and it’s easy to care for by machine washing. If you’re looking for a chic blanket that’s as cozy as your favorite sweater, this knit throw is a great pick.
