Blankets are an amazing invention. They keep you warm and cozy during cold winter nights and also prevent
perspiration and keep you comfortable in summers. You can use blankets as a comfortable covering on top of your bedsheet in summers or layer them under comforters in winters. Not just that, a blanket should also look aesthetically pleasing and go well with your bedroom setting.
Besides these, there are also some technological advancements in blankets. You now have electric blankets, Wi-Fi connected blankets to track your sleep, and other climate-controlled ones that you can control with an app on your phone. These blankets, however amazing they may sound, are still in their early production stage and aren’t quite ready to be considered the best blankets out there. They still need to fight a hard competition against non-tech-based blankets. Electric blankets are the only ones that have been somewhat perfected.
Finding your perfect blanket isn’t quite a feeling that can be described. It gives a level of warmth and comfort that will let you sleep like never before. When winter gets too cold, you can just come back under your blanket expecting warmth and coziness. While in warm summer days, you can just lay on top of your blanket and just fall into a deep slumber.
Choosing the warmest blanket may seem like quite a hassle at first, but in reality, it is quite easy. There are a few factors you need to consider and you will be able to choose yours in no time.
Qualities of the Warmest Blankets
When you are set out to choose the perfect warm blanket, it’s a good idea to first learn about blankets and the
qualities you should be on the lookout for.
Warmth
How warm to you like to be when you sleep? This is the main question you should ask yourself when deciding to buy a warm blanket. If you normally sleep under multiple layers of blankets, then you would probably want a nice and fluffy wool blanket or a thick electric blanket that will keep you comfortable and cozy. On the other hand, if you live near the equator and like to enjoy a mild breeze while sleeping, you might enjoy a soft cotton blanket.
Size
The size of your bed matters here as not every comforter or blanket will fit your bed the right way. This holds true even if you buy one of the exact size range as your bed. A Queen comforter won’t be big enough for most Queen beds and you may want to get one size bigger. Measure your bed along with the extra side space you want the comforter to cover when it’s laid on your bed.
Fill Power
Fill power is just a fancy term used by blanket manufactures to talk about the quality and quantity of the down clusters in your blanket. A large cluster is better as it is more insulative, breathable and also will have a longer life than that of a smaller one. But, at the same time, too much fill power can make your blanket too heavy to let you feel uncomfortable, so it’s a good idea to compare manufacturer charts for various levels of fill powers and buy the right one for your needs.
Baffles
Most blankets are made of a white hypoallergenic goose down stitched between two layers of fabric. This kind of a blanket is ideal for most people but isn’t fit for all. You may want a quilt, which is made by sewing a filler between two of these down blankets and then stitched to hold them in place. Blankets come in a wide range of these baffles and can even be custom made if you’re willing to pay the price.
External Fabric
The external fabric of your blanket matters as much as the internal down as this is what you will feel against your skin. At the same time, it’s important to know that the fluffy down may begin to seep through your fabric. This makes it necessary to buy a blanket with a high thread count as it will prevent the down inside from leaking out. As for comfort, go with a material that feels great to touch and at the same time, matches your thermal preference.
Covers?
Now the question comes up – do you want to cover your comforter? Or just leave it. If you buy a duvet (a comforter without a cover), it is recommended that you also invest in a duvet cover. This will protect your blanket from accidental spills and is also easier to clean. However, keep in mind that the cover could add weight of its own to the comforter and make it a bit too heavy to be comfortable. So, it’s advisable to check out the different weights of covers while buying them to see which one is right for you.
Care and Durability
Another crucial thing about blankets is learning to care well for them. Blankets don’t exactly come cheap and hence you would want yours to last for a long time. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to get a delicate blanket. Instead, look for a robust blanket that can take anything your everyday life throws at it. Looking for blankets with minimum care requirements is easy when you know which fabric to look for. All you will have to do is read the label on the blanket that tells you about washing and follow it.
It’s also important to know the different kinds of fabrics available out there with their respective advantages and disadvantages. This will help you decide which warm blanket will suit you the best.
Cotton
Cotton is quite durable as a blanket material and can withstand repeated washing and drying which leads most other fabrics to their doom. Cotton may seem like a very summer ready fabric, but if the weave is different, it can just as easily be used as a warm comforter in chilly winter nights.
Wool
When compared with cotton, wool is considerably heavier and is also a better insulant. It is great for winters but can make you feel suffocated in summers. Some people are also allergic to wool. But, if you are okay with it, it is sure to make an excellent blanket material.
Cashmere
Cashmere is one of the softest blanket materials and is sure to make you feel like royalty. The blankets made with
this are silky-soft and warm, but this could put a hole in your wallet.
Synthetics
Synthetic fabrics are especially amazing as they are strong, durable and warm too. However, cheap quality synthetics tend to get destroyed in a few washes and hence, should be avoided. Also, these are the blankets that generate the most static electricity.
Fleece
Fleece is a great option to replace wool as it offers all that wool offers, without the heaviness. Some fleeces also come with microfibers. This makes great children’s blankets as it will keep your child warm without putting too much weight.
Electric Blankets
These are synthetic blankets with an extra heat source within them. They are safe to use but they aren’t generally fluffy to touch or sleep with.
This weighted blanket is one that’s been known to improve sleep quality as well as help with conditions such as
anxiety, ADHD and SAD. It was originally developed as a therapy blanket.
Warmth
The Degrees of Comfort Weighted Blanket makes for a great companion in chilly winter nights and will keep you warm. It contains nano-ceramic beads that are quite insulating and can help maintain a temperature close to your body temperature. These beads are evenly distributed throughout the blanket for an even thermal balance. Pairing it with a in wool sheet or a lightweight electric blanket may not be a bad idea if you tend to feel colder than most people. It also comes with two different covers for both hot and cold sleepers.
Size
The weighted blanket comes in varying sizes and range from 36×48” to 60×80”. You should choose the size that is slightly bigger than your bed to allow it to fall a little on the sides and to allow comfortably tucking in your feet at night. It is important to note that you must not use this blanket or any weighted blanket for infants or toddlers as it can cause serious suffocation or even become lethal.
Fill Power
The fill power of this blanket is quite high as it’s nano-ceramic beads are heavier than the plastic beads that most other weighted blankets use and are also at the same time more comfortable than the glass beads. These beads are spread out and can weigh down the blanket to mimic 10% of the bodyweight of the average person.
Baffle
The nano-ceramic beads inside the blanket are seamlessly blended in the two layers of the blanket’s polymer. This helps keep them in place and keeps them from collecting in one spot.
External Fabric
The outer fabric of the Degrees of Comfort is made of a high-quality synthetic polymer. It is soft and cozy to touch while at the same time warm and durable.
Cover
This blanket comes with two different duvet covers to allow a comfortable sleep for people of all thermal preferences. The covers perfectly serve their purpose, however, sometimes while you sleep, the blanket may twist inside the cover and you may need to secure it with a safety pin before you sleep.
Care and Durability
The blanket’s high-quality polymer makes it very durable and ready to last you for years. Moreover, the covers protect it even more and allow you to regularly clean the cover without repeatedly washing the blanket.
Pros:
Varying sizes
Comfortable for both summer and winter
Durable with two duvet covers
Nano-ceramic beads inside to provide the weight
Cons:
May get twisted inside the cover while sleeping
