A common question we are often asked is "What is the difference between Blankets Vs. Comforters Vs. Throws?'. Blankets are lightweight and used on the bed typically for spring or summer(Or even when layering with a down comforter for a 'Hotel Look'). Blankets typically feature smaller quilted boxes that range from 8 inches to 10 inches.
Comforters are usually thicker then blankets with about double the filling material used and typically larger boxes (12 to 16 inches). Throws are the most like blankets with the biggest difference being size - throws are typically used for the couch or casual wrapping up while resting.
Blankets and throws are generally easy care home machine washable and dryable. Comforters due to their size sometimes require a commercial size washing machine. Often blankets and throws carried in stores are imported from China - our collection below is primarily made in the USA (unless noted as such).
Blankets can be covered by a duvet cover in some cases - such as out hotel style blankets. Please note that the blankets come in two size ranges and the proper duvet cover should be used - email us if you need help.
