What Type of Throw Blanket Should I Get?
Depending on your personal preferences, you may require a specific type of throw blanket that fits your needs. In this blog post, we’ll go over the different types and fabrics that throw blankets come in. We'll also provide recommendations for each type of blanket throw. If you wish to know what else we have to offer, feel free to check out our Blanket Throw Collection.

Cotton – Easily the most common material you will find used for throw blankets, cotton is soft, breathable, and durable, meaning it will last you a very long time. Because of the way that cotton is usually woven, it won’t trap in hot air as easily. One good example that we offer here at Pioneer Linens is the Nomad Club Cotton Throw by Le Jacquard Francais. Not only is it comfortable and long-lasting, but it is also visually appealing. Created by designer Jean Michel Wilmotte, this blanket throw was inspired by architectural designs. |

Fleece – This fabric is a very good choice for a blanket throw. Not only is it one of the softest materials you can find, but it is typically very cost effective. You’ll often find it as part of a fabric blend within some blanket throws, like the Bristol Throw by SFERRA. Made partially from alpaca fleece, you can feel the difference between this blend and a blanket made entirely from Pima cotton. It is woven into a basketweave pattern and finished with a hand-knotted fringe. |

Wool – Wool is one of the best insulators, especially for a blanket throw. They are known for their reasonable pricing and unparalleled softness. If you’re looking for a good wool blanket throw, the Ama Throw by Amalia Home Collection is 100% made of wool. This luxurious piece features a sleek contemporary design of geometric lines and angles. |
|
|
Cashmere – This fabric provides excellent insulation, making it perfect for customers who want to stay warm during the colder months of the year. Compared to other wool based products, cashmere is often the go-to fabric for luxury. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, we highly recommend the Dorsey Cashmere Throw by SFERRA. You’ll appreciate its fine downy watermark and finished with a light airy fringe. |

Goose/Duck Down – Down feather is among the most popular choose for insulating blanket throws. It manages to add an extra layer of thick comfort that is cool in the summer while still maintaining warmth during the winter. Only thing to keep in mind with this type of material is that some people are allergic to it, luckily there is an alternative. While we don’t offer throw blankets for goose/duck down, we still offer the Down Blanket by Downright should you still require it. |
|
|
Down Alternative – Made out of synthetic fibers, down alternative is hypo-allergenic, and is quite cheaper than regular down. This makes it a great option for those looking to save on their budget. While we don’t offer throw blankets for down alternative, we do offer blankets like the Arcadia Duvet/Blanket by SFERRA. It is a versatile lightweight version that’s sized like a duvet but sewn through like a down blanket, with an hourglass pattern. |
What Sizes Do Throw Blankets Come in?
Blanket throws vary greatly by size depending on brand, but generally they come at around 51 x 71 inches. Some of our blanket throw collections offer options, so if you’re looking for a larger blanket throw, talk to our staff and they’ll be able to help you find the perfect bed covering.
