  • Buying Guide

    The most important factor in choosing a blanket is the material. Many people prefer the feel and durability of natural fibers, like cotton and wool. For warmer weather, cotton is often a good choice. It is a soft, durable and breathable material. For cold temperatures, wool is a great insulator and it wicks moisture away to keep the bed warm and dry. Natural fibers tend to be more expensive.

    For cheaper alternatives, consider synthetic fiber blankets. Two common types of synthetic are vellux and acrylic. Acrylic is a soft material that insulates well but is less breathable than natural fibers. Fleece blankets are acrylic. Vellux is a material made from nylon fibers and foam bonded together. It is a thick insulating blanket commonly used in hotels.
