The Eddie Bauer throw blanket that 'feels like it hugs you' is down to $15 for Black Friday
'It looks like it's expensive,' wrote one of nearly 7,000 fans. 'Will buy it again for Christmas presents!'
It's that time of year when the temps are falling, and you're inspired to turn your living room into a cozy kingdom — with the couch, of course, as your throne. But this kingdom might need a few accessories — perhaps a chalice to fill with a hot toddy (or cocoa, if you prefer) and a royal robe in the form of a cuddly blanket. You might have to do some research on that chalice, but we’ve got a throw that will take your imperial lounging and couch naps to a snuggly new level — and it's less than $20! We're talking about the irresistibly cozy Eddie Bauer Throw Blanket, down to $15 during the Amazon Black Friday Sale.
As shopping editors who hunt for deals like it's our job (because it is!), we know a good Black Friday sale when we see one, and we're diligently tracking price histories across retailers to ensure the ones we share with you are actually worth your time and money.

This will become your go-to blanket for staying nice and warm, at a price that won't leave you cold.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
This is the lowest we've seen this throw go since the spring, and since this cozy cuddler is usually least expensive in the warmer months, we're expecting the price to go up from here. It's reversible, so it's like getting two blankets in one, and when you compare it to similar throws, like this one from Ugg, it's a total steal. (Prices vary depending on color.)
Why do I need this? 🤔
This blanket looks like it belongs in a cabin in the woods — it's just right for the chilly months ahead and adds to your home's holiday look. It measures 50 by 60 inches, which means you can share the coziness. One side is soft cotton in a red-and-white check pattern and the other is faux shearling popcorn fleece. But consider yourself warned: Once you drape yourself in the sherpa goodness, you're not going to want to come out from under it until spring.
What reviewers say 💬
Nearly 7,000 five-star fans love snuggling up with this fuzzy throw.
Pros 👍
"Eddie Bauer products are quality products, but this blanket exceeded my expectations," reported a rave reviewer. "It was surprisingly beautiful and of high quality to the point that I purchased two more throws, one for each sofa ... The colors are vivid and the sherpa is soft and provides comfort and warmth."
"I have bought several sherpa throws," shared another five-star fan. "But this one is wonderful! It's so soft and warm! It feels like it hugs you when you're lying under it. And it looks like it's expensive, but the price is perfect! Definitely will buy it again for Christmas presents!"
Attention, pet parents: "This blanket is so cozy, every time I put it on my three dogs fight for my lap and want to be on it," shared a buyer. "It is the perfect weight, not too heavy and not too light. It is very durable as well and washes up nicely."
Cons 👎
Just take heed when washing, according to this generally satisfied shopper: "I was considering giving this as a gift, but after receiving it, I decided to keep it for myself! The throw is very well made. It is very warm and cozy and the sherpa side is very soft. Be careful if you wash it with other things because the color bleeds ... I still am glad I bought it."
"I love this throw, it is so warm and comfy," said a final reviewer. "The only thing is, I wish it were a little longer, but that is because I want to use it on the bed [as] a blanket ... It's great when curled up on the sofa watching TV or napping."
For just a few bucks more, get it in classic black and white.
Prefer something even toastier?
Cuddle up with this top-rated wrap, which is made of soft flannel and has three heat settings. At 50 by 60 inches, it's large enough for two, and if you're worried about falling asleep, don't be — it turns itself off after four hours.
"I lost my job and had to keep my electric and gas costs down by keeping my apartment at 55° in the winter, and as a result, I was obviously very cold," said one reviewer. "This heated blanket saved me. It's so comfortable and soft and I didn't need another blanket with it, just had it under my comforter. Uses very little electricity and warms up quickly. Also, it warmed my whole body so I didn't even need gloves or a hat."
