How To Choose The Right Blanket For You
The most common way to choose a blanket is by considering whether you are looking for a winter blanket to retain heat, a light summer blanket that is breathable, or an all seasons blanket. Perhaps you have allergies, are looking for are particular size, or are searching for something more decorative? Read on to find out everything you need to know about our extensive blanket range.
Some people use blankets and throws purely for show, while others love to wrap themselves up snug. Knowing how you plan to use your blanket is a great first step in deciding what type you’ll need.
Loose, natural weaves look great casually slung across the end of the bed, but aren’t always the warmest option. Meanwhile, a fluffy carol or flannel fleece will provide the most sumptuous snuggle. Different fabrics do more than just offer different looks, though. They also wash and wear differently, impact the price and provide varying layers of warmth and weight.
It’s a good idea to explore all of these factors as you make a decision about which bed blanket or throw to buy. After all, your bed should be your happy place.
Our tip for choosing the perfect size: to add another layer of warmth to your bedding, choose a blanket at least the same size as your quilt. Or, if you plan to use your bed blanket as a throw, aim for something smaller than half your bed’s size.
