The Cozy Blanket My Family Uses All Winter Long Has More Than 106,500 5-Star Amazon Reviews (Plus, It’s on Sale!)

I love when the weather begins to cool down because that’s when my favorite blankets get to shine. Not that I don’t curl up in throws all year around, but you can’t deny that there’s a slight difference between being cozy and comfy and cozy and warm. Years ago, my mom gifted me, my siblings, and a bunch of extended family with a blanket that I ended up using way more often than the rest. I’d call it sentimental value if it wasn’t actually an excellent piece. In fact, she was getting phone calls from my aunts across the country who would rave about how much they loved it. I didn’t pay much attention to the brand for a long time, and then I saw it as I was idly browsing Amazon and couldn’t believe: 1) how affordable it was and 2) that it already has more than 100,000 five-star ratings! So while it’s not a huge secret, the throw blanket that my family adores — from Louisiana to California — is the Fleece Throw Blanket from Bedsure.

Trust me when I say that the phrase “You get what you pay for” doesn’t apply to Bedsure’s Fleece Throw. It’s a surprisingly inexpensive, super soft blanket that’s high quality, holds up, and is good for many uses. Though color availability may vary, there are 26 to choose from and it comes in a number of sizes, including a 50” x 60” throw, a 60” x 80 queen size blanket, and an impressively shareable 108” x 90” size. I’ve spent hours bundled up in my blanket, whether I was streaming my latest TV obsession or working on a project in bed. I’ve used it as an additional bedding layer on chilly nights, and even draped it over a section of the couch to prevent my dog’s hair from getting all over the furniture. (Don’t worry, any fur that got on the blanket came out easily after being washed.) When I visit my mom, who keeps her house cold, this is the blanket that I reach for every time.

The Bedsure throw is made from durable 100-percent polyester microfiber, and the micro-fleece gives it a buttery-soft, velvety feel that you can’t help but love under your fingers. It’s thicker than a typical wool or cotton throw, and has a lightweight plushness to it that somehow feels just right for the fall and winter months while also being comfortable when the weather warms up again. I don’t pack this blanket up between seasons because it’s been my go-to for years. To be sure that your blanket lasts for the long haul, wash it cold and tumble dry low. There will be a little shedding due to the nature of the fabric, but it doesn’t diminish the quality of the piece whatsoever and will decrease over time.

When I saw that the Bedsure Fleece Throw was on sale with a deep discount, I knew I had to tell people about it. In addition to the throw, other sizes of the blanket are also marked down so if you want to go for a larger dimension, now is the perfect time to do so. But honestly, even the full-priced options are ridiculously affordable. I’m even planning on snagging another blanket or two ASAP. It’s just that good!
