Favorite Throw Blankets for Cozy Nights
Let me tell you something about throw blankets… I love them. I collect them like Joe collects golf tees. If there’s a soft, snuggly blanket within a five-mile radius, I’ll find it, touch it, and probably bring it home. I have everything from lightweight summer throws to the heavy-duty electric one I drag out the minute the temperature dips below 60. And yes, Lucy believes every single one of them belongs to her. She is wrong, but she does not care.
When the weather gets cold and the days get shorter, there is nothing better than curling up with a soft blanket, a good book, and maybe a Hallmark movie where the big-city girl falls for the small-town guy who owns a Christmas tree farm. Some traditions just don’t need changing.
Here are a few blankets that make my evenings feel extra cozy.

The Lola Blanket: The Softest Blanket I’ve Ever Felt
Let me just go ahead and say it… the Lola blanket is on a whole different level. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you this might be the softest blanket I’ve ever touched. You know how sometimes you pet a blanket in the store and think, “Well, that feels nice”? This one feels nicer than nice.
Now, here’s the honest part. It’s pricey. This isn’t the blanket you buy on a whim. But if you want a splurge-worthy blanket that feels incredible every single time you use it, this is the one. I have this on my Black Friday list – I’m hoping for a big sale.
I keep mine out of Lucy’s grasp… or at least I try to. She seems to think the Lola was purchased exclusively for her naps, and honestly, I can’t blame her.
Why it works:
- A luxurious splurge that makes your home feel extra special
- Truly one of the softest blankets I’ve ever owned
- Plush, velvety texture you can feel from across the room
- Warm and cozy without feeling heavy
Barefoot Dreams: The Classic Cozy Luxury
When people talk about cozy luxury throws, Barefoot Dreams always comes up first. Their CozyChic® Throw is the blanket everyone seems to own, love, and keep buying again and again. It has that signature Barefoot Dreams plushness, and it drapes beautifully across a sofa or chair. If you’re looking for a classic, well-made luxury throw that feels soft, warm, and gift-ready, this one is perfect.
It’s not the softest blanket I own; that award goes to the Lola, but Barefoot Dreams has that perfect blend of softness, warmth, and durability that keeps it at the top of so many “best of” lists.
Why it works:
- That signature Barefoot Dreams feel, soft and plush
- Durable, washable, and holds up beautifully
- Warm without being too heavy
- A dependable luxury gift everyone loves
Bedsure Heated Blanket Throw Blanket
I told you that I was serious about my throw blankets. These are on sale, and I just ordered two for my neighbors. I’ve given these blankets to my mom, my mini me, and others. Joe even had to have one after seeing how warm mine was.
The Ultimate Faux Fur Throw
This one looks like something that belongs in a luxury ski lodge, not draped across my sofa next to Lucy’s half-chewed bone. It’s soft, warm, and has that expensive look without the expensive price. I swear, every time I spread it out, Lucy materializes out of thin air and plops right in the middle of it. She has excellent taste, I’ll give her that.
Why it works:
- Has that “looks like a million bucks” vibe
- Super soft on both sides
- Warm enough for chilly nights
- Washes well and doesn’t lose its fluff
Trendy Striped Blanket
If you like a little texture without feeling like you’re wrestling with a weighted comforter, this striped fleece blanket is a nice balance. The charcoal version looks modern and tidy, which is helpful when your living room is… let’s call it “lived in.”
Why it works:
- Cozy but not bulky
- Nice texture and design
- Good neutral colors that blend in
- Works for guys or gals
The “Dreamy” Cardigan Throw
This one is for the cold-natured Gurls, the ones who would wear an electric blanket around the house if they could figure out how to hide the cord. It’s fleece on one side, fluffy Sherpa on the other, and it feels like being hugged by a baby lamb.
Why it works:
- Double-sided softness
- Really warm
- Plush without being heavy
- Perfect fire-side blanket
Flannel Throw Blanket
I call this one my “Go Vols!” blanket because the bright orange reminds me of football season. Even if you’re not a Tennessee fan, it still gives you that happy pop of color. It’s soft, warm, and adds the perfect fall touch to a sofa or the foot of your bed.
Why it works:
- Cheerful color
- Lightweight warmth
- Soft flannel feel
- Makes a great gift
Chunky Knit
Chunky knits are having their moment, and honestly, I hope it lasts forever. This chenille version looks like something from a home décor magazine. The soft blue feels calming, and I love the look of it draped casually over a chair.
Why it works:
- Beautiful chunky texture
- Very soft chenille feel
- Adds that “decorator” touch
- Pretty soft blue
GO Premium Plush Soft Throw
You know me and pink. It’s my kryptonite. This plush throw is silky soft, lightweight, and such a sweet color. If you’ve got a granddaughter who loves all things soft and pretty, go ahead and add this to your Christmas list. And maybe pick one up for yourself, because you need a little pampering, too.
Why it works:
- Incredibly soft
- Easy to wash
- Light but warm
- Beautiful shade of pink
EMME Muslin Throw Blanket 100% Cotton
If you get warm easily or want a throw you can use year-round, muslin is the way to go. This cotton blanket feels airy and breathable but still cozy enough for cool nights.
Why it works:
- Breathable cotton
- Lightweight
- Softens with every wash
- Great all-season blanket
Eddie Bauer – Throw Blanket
This looks like something you’d find in a mountain cabin, and something Joe would claim as his own. It’s thick, warm, and has that cozy lodge feel. If you like plaid, Sherpa, and a blanket that holds its own on cold nights, this one is perfect.
Why it works:
- Classic plaid pattern
- Warm and plush
- Sherpa + fleece combo
- Great for men and women
Small Farmhouse Lightweight Throw
If you want something decorative that still feels soft and warm, this chenille farmhouse-style throw is lovely. The brown color is warm and neutral, and would look great at the end of the bed because it looks like it belongs there. It’s just the right touch.
Why it works:
- Lightweight but cozy
- Soft chenille
- Neutral color
- Adds texture to a room
Gurls, a good throw blanket is so welcoming at the end of a long day. I hope you found one or two that make your home feel extra cozy this winter. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to curl up with my Barefoot Dreams throw and see what Lucy tries to steal next.
