The cozy Amazon throw blanket with a 'West Elm vibe' is $24 (that's 40% off)
'I wanted a high-end bedding look without the big price tag,' said a fan. 'It's lightweight but holds in the heat quite nicely.'
Here at Yahoo, we love getting some real bang for our buck. That's why we think functional decor — as in, an adornment that's as useful as it is attractive — is the best kind of decor. Take the Bedsure Waffle Weave Blanket, for example. It'll instantly zhush up any sofa or bed it's draped over while keeping you cozy as you're watching TV, reading a book or playing Wordle on your phone. And back to the subject of getting bang for one's buck, it's currently marked down by 40% at Amazon. Now if you'll please excuse us; we need to go buy one for every room in our homes.
Reviewers are comparing this throw to more expensive brands, but you can snag it for less than $25.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
At $24 (down from $40), the beige throw is down to its all-time lowest price, making it far more affordable than many similar blankets (like this Ugg throw, which tops $80). Prices vary between colors, but you won't pay more than $32 for any of them.
Why do I need this? 🤔
There's just something about the textured quality of waffle-weave linens that feels more high-end. (See our picks for the best waffle bath towels in all their spa-like glory.) The Bedsure Waffle Weave Blanket will add dimension to your couch without drawing too much focus, and you can layer it over your bedding for a luxe effect.
Because it's made from a blend of cotton and rayon derived from bamboo, it's moisture-wicking (read "anti-sweat") and breathable to keep you from feeling too stuffy when the heat's blasting. That said, its soft feel also makes it worthy of cuddling up on the couch with on chilly evenings, so there's use for it year-round. It's conveniently machine washable and comes in several sizes, the smallest of which is suitable for sofas and the largest of which fits an oversized king bed.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 13,000 Amazon customers say this blanket deserves a perfect five-star rating.
Pros 👍
"The texture of the blanket is what drew me in initially," wrote one shopper. "Once received, I washed it and tossed it on the couch. [A] few hours later, I used it and was shocked [by] how nicely it kept me cozy! I wasn’t too hot, but I was no longer chilly; I was at the perfect temperature. My fiancé, who runs very hot, used it and noticed he didn’t get all sweaty under it either. It’s a win in my book!"
"I love this blanket," swooned another. "I wanted a high-end bedding look without the big price tag. This blanket is lightweight but holds in the heat quite nicely. I love the look of it. Would definitely recommend and buy another in the future."
"The color and value for the price cannot be beat," said a third. "The blanket does not shed at all, I’ve had to throw some new blankets away before. After buying on Amazon, I ended up buying another. ... The size, color and quality are West Elm-vibe."
Cons 👎
"My son sleeps very hot but likes a blanket," explained a generally satisfied buyer. "He’s used this one all summer and has slept much better. ... It has held up well. My only complaint is it is air-dry [only], which takes a while, but so far it’s been fairly consistent on timing."
"This gives the perfect amount of weight to feel [like] more than a sheet but not as heavy as a comforter," shared a final fan. "I struggle sleeping with just a sheet and this is perfect. It breathes to keep you cool but is still warm. I used to wake up in a puddle of sweat, but now I don’t, and I am so thankful! I was worried it would feel scratchy, but it is so soft! It can snag a bit easily, though. I put a purse with a buckle down on it, and the buckle caught and pulled a fiber of the fabric, so I have to be a bit careful of that."
This gorgeous gray looks like it's straight from Brooklinen, minus the splurge-y price.
And if you prefer a fleecy blanket...
This plush throw treats you to 100% fleece on one side and cotton flannel on the other. The cozy checkerboard pattern alone makes us want to stay in and hibernate until spring!
