The top of the Garnet Hill is made of quilted sateen, the thin middle layer consists of polyester fill, and the back is a super-soft polyester plush that feels more plump and luxe (like a great stuffed toy) than L.L.Bean’s velvety Wicked Cozy Blanket. It’s stitched like a quilt, but instead of having a layer of thin batting inside, it’s stuffed with fluffy fill (also called loft) like a comforter. Why it’s great: The Garnet Hill Plush-Loft Blanket is the favorite of testers and staffers who want the warmest, coziest, most durable blanket possible. Though many of our recommendations are pricier than some blankets you could buy, we consider each of these picks-which you can use every night, likely for many years-to be investments in comfy sleep.
We looked for high-quality blankets made (when possible) with natural fibers. They include a lightweight cotton coverlet, a chunky cotton waffle knit, a heavyweight cotton twill, an heirloom-quality washable wool, a hand-embroidered organic cotton quilt, a velvety, warm fleece, and a family-favorite plush-cotton hybrid.
We recommend blankets that work nicely on the bed as a top layer for summer or under a comforter for extra warmth in winter. We’ve spent 500-plus hours testing 44 blankets for every season, and we’ve found seven that should make you thrilled to go to bed.
A good blanket is warm, but a great blanket is also breathable, soft, and stylish, and should last for years and years. After a long day, crawling into a bed that’s outfitted with fresh sheets and a comfortable blanket is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
