Not to be dramatic, but it's the gold-standard of blankets, and I'd love for someone to try and prove me wrong. The midweight fabric isn't so heavy that it makes me sweaty, and it is stretchy but doesn't lose its structure." Read her in-depth review of the Threshold Cozy Chenille Bed Blanket here.

As soon as I took it out of the packaging, my 4- and 7-year-old boys dove for the couch to curl up with it and didn't want to get up. . . .
