No one can deny a soft, cozy blanket—and yes, that includes design lovers. Soft blankets are more than just function; they add a layer of style and texture to any space. Whether it's your go-to companion for movie night or a staple in your home office, the softest blanket will make your home comfortable and welcoming. As editors, the House Beautiful staff have been able to test many plush blankets. The ones that stand out for their luxurious feel and chic look end up as staples we use year-round! From faux fur to cashmere, king-sized and mini throws—we have reviewed plenty of blankets. Some blankets are totally splurge-worthy experiences while others are steals under $100. Below, you'll find the softest blankets that you won't be able to resist carrying with you wherever you go.
"I am obsessed with this one from Pendleton. It’s the kind of super-soft fleece that feels so incredibly good on the skin. Also, it’s massive—it can function as a bed cover—which is ideal since everyone in my family is always trying to grab a corner of it for themselves."
"This is my favorite throw blanket of all time—it feels like a warm hug! It's incredibly soft and it has just enough stretch that you can pull it over your feet without needing to move."

"This is blanket definitely stands out in a sea of faux fur. The buttery feel of the long-staple Egyptian cotton is the perfect layer of luxury. It's cozy for every season and is friendly to hot sleepers."
"It's equal parts cozy and beautiful. It's super thick, so I use it every night during the winter. Thankfully, it's chic and doesn't look messy when I leave it out on the sofa every night."
"Handwoven in Helsinki, these mohair throws are fluffier than any others I’ve come across. I’m a fan of fuller throws to really bring a sense of dimension into a room (this one is long enough for the end of my kind bed, but it would also be great over a sofa, too). Plus, it’s insanely soft and surprisingly light so I won’t have to put it away come summer."
"I love the texture of the edges of this blanket paired with the softness of the middle. Plus, it was a perfect neutral to go with the assault of color that is my apartment. It does shed a little but not enough to be mad about."
"This blanket from HomeGoods lives in our guest room. Honestly, when I’m in a pickle I always know I can find a good blanket there. Guests love this one and I can just throw it in the wash and not have it dry cleaned after each visit."
"For the days that I need to bring a blanket to my desk, this light pick-me-up makes all the difference. It's machine washable for my far too common coffee spills and most importantly, doesn't have the clammy feeling like other faux fur blankets."
