Warm Blankets to Have This Winter

Winter Is Coming

Or rather, it is already here. Unless you are going to for a lengthy holiday trip to a location with a warmer climate you are going to need some chillproof protection. Imagine a cozy, soft blanket to wrap yourself up during the coldest hours of the day and night. Or, even better: A pre-warmed bed, courtesy of a high quality electric blanket. 

Your bedding is what is going to make all the difference in winter. Choose right, and you're going to spend the coldest months of the year in cozy comfort. Choose wrong and be prepared to pay a lot of nightmare sized heating bills. Here are top 10 picks for warm blankets:

DZW Weighted Blanket for Adults

DZW Weighted Blanket for Adults

DZW's blanket is really something special: It is designed not only to provide warmth and comfort, but also to relax your nervous system. How? By simulating the feeling of a hug. It comes in many different versions. You are supposed to change the one that is roughly 10% of your body weight.

Made of 100% cotton, its compartments filled with hypo-allergenic, non-toxic and odorless sand pellets this is obviously a top quality blanket. Downside? Only one: The duvet cover is sold separately from the inner weighted layer.

InYard's Premium 5Lbs Weighted Blanket

InYard's Premium 5Lbs Weighted Blanket

InYard's USA premium weighted blanket is a bit on the expensive side, admittedly. Designed to suit anxious children – or likewise anxious adults – this blanked naturally induces a calming effect through the gentle pressure it provides. Similar to a hug, this will enable you to relax your busy mind after a tiring day and allow you to sleep deep like nothing else.

We have identified two downsides: First, the blanket is filled with plastic pellets. According to a number of users, this makes the blanket feel a bit hard. We could attribute this to a matter of opinion, but the fact that product is hand washable only is an objective downside. This is a big con in convenience.

Utopia Bedding's Queen Polar-Fleece Thermal Blanket

Utopia Bedding's Queen Polar-Fleece Thermal Blanket

Feeling chilly while on a tight budget? Then this is for you. Considerably less expensive than our aforementioned products, Utopia Bedding's thermal blankets offers high value for a relatively low investment. Easy to take care of and made of high quality materials this blanket is not only elegant by also highly versatile. Made to last, this is not going to shrink even after prolonged use and washing.

That being said, we found the blanket a bit thin. While certainly capable of providing adequate warmth, it won't provide you with the deep, calming feeling heavier blankets do.

Egyptian Bedding's Luxurious 1200 Thread Goose Down Comforter

Egyptian Bedding's Luxurious 1200 Thread Goose Down Comforter

4.6 out of 5 stars and the "Amazon's Choice" award. This comforter comes with high praise, indeed.

Available in queen size, this product will make you experience the softest and coziest winter of your life.

Although a number of customers had problems with their blankets – apparently, they came stained – the company's customer support has exceeded expectations and fixed the issues immediately. This is definitely another upside to consider when it comes to Egyptian Beddings.
