10 Best Bed Throws and Blankets UK 2023 | Tweedmill, Habitat and More

Cute and cuddly, this throw's rainbow design is bright and cheerful but avoids being gaudy due to its muted colour scheme. If you need something colourful to cheer up your bedroom without becoming the focal point, this blanket is a great choice.

Better still, it's made from 100% wool, meaning it's warm, comfortable and soft as you run it through your fingers. This does rack up the price a little bit, but considering that it measures nearly two metres in length, we think it's totally worth the extra money.

Cashmere wool, obtained from the cashmere goat, has been one of the world's most sought after fabrics for thousands of years and it's not difficult to understand why – it's incredibly soft, lightweight and durable and it's eight times warmer than regular wool.

Unlike many cashmere blankets, which are often blended with other, inferior materials to keep costs down, this blanket is made from 100% cashmere. This means a high cost, but we think it's worth it when you consider all of those benefits and the fact that you'll treasure this blanket for years to come.

Sleepers all over the world swear by weighted blankets as a means of increasing relaxation and reducing insomnia, and they're commonly used to calm unsettled children. It's believed that this is because the weight of the contained glass beads can reduce autonomic arousal.

Weighted blankets can get pretty expensive, but this one – filled with certified non-toxic, micro glass beads – offers an affordable and highly-rated medium. This product is designed for a single bed, but child and double bed sizes are also available.

If you're looking to set up a comfy, retro home, blankets that come in warmer colours can be hard to come by. Luckily, we've found this bright orange throw that's perfect for a 1970s-inspired room – or just for draping over the end of a plain bed for a burst of brightness.

Made from 100% cotton, it's incredibly warm, soft and durable. And because it's been knitted by hand, it has a tactile texture that's perfect for snuggling down in. It looks and feels great, and we love it.

There's nothing quite as good for keeping you warm as a nice fluffy blanket – except a heated blanket, that is! Turn it on, wait five minutes, and you'll have a toasty blanket that you – and even the rest of the family – can snuggle under.

It's made from a super soft, velvety microfleece, and it comes with a handful of fancy features, such as six heat settings and a sensor that monitors the temperature of the surrounding room and adjusts the blanket's temperature accordingly. It's also suitable for overnight use, meaning you can keep cosy and safe as you sleep. 

Skandi décor is currently all the rage. It's characterised by its minimalist aesthetic; light, neutral hues and use of tactile fabrics. Nowhere are those qualities more exemplified than in this chunky knit throw.

It's absolutely perfect for adding a touch of warmth to a contemporary styled home. It's made of polyester as opposed to cotton, which may knock it down a few pegs for some, but it's still a comfortable, stylish choice that's very easy to care for. 

A wearable blanket might seem an odd concept at first, but we'd be surprised if you haven't already heard of them as they've taken the world by storm. Simply pop your head and arms through the holes, and, in one item, you've got an incredibly comfy jumper and a blanket that won't fall off when you move.

What we like about this one from Bedsure is its elongated length. While many wearable blankets actually end above the knee (resembling a lengthy jumper more than a blanket), this one stretches much further, past the feet, as an actual blanket would. Walking can be a bit tricky, but it's the essential companion for a day of rest and relaxation.

Ever visited a classy hotel and wished you could have one of those fancy blankets all for yourself? Well now you can, with this padded velvet stitch throw. With a quilted cotton underside, it's decorative on top and comfy on the bottom.

Although we've selected the exotically named 'Tiger's Eye' colour scheme here, this blanket is actually available in a variety of other shades. It's a very expensive throw, but it's the price you pay if you want a high-quality product with a luxurious look.

Blankets and throws are an intrinsic part of Bohemian culture, but whether you have hippie leanings or not, there's no denying that this blanket, with its seamless weaving of multiple colours, has an irresistible look to it.

Measuring over a metre and a half in length, it's another one you can throw over beds or drape over other furniture. Disappointingly, and despite its bohemian aesthetic, it's not made from natural materials but of acrylic. If you're not willing to go for the pricier fabrics, however, it's a stylish midway point.

Being made exclusively from polyester, this isn't the fanciest blanket on the market. It is, however, comfortable, huge and affordable, making it a great choice if you want to keep cosy without completely emptying your wallet.

At over a metre wide in both directions, it's the perfect blanket for throwing over the top of a duvet as well as the sofa, particularly as it comes in a choice of five varied colours. Great for pet owners too, it's a perfect budget pick that you won't need to be precious about.
