Call me crazy (I’ve been called worse) but when it comes to pillows, olive oil, eye masks, water and blankets — I’m a self-professed expert. Sure, it’s nothing as notable as rocket science or ending world hunger BUT my son calls me a “blanket enthusiast” compliments of my plethora of plush covers. With the latter said, I figure I would share my top choices with you all because I’m a firm believer that sleep equals sanity and a good blanket is key on this journey. There’s just something to be said about hunkering down with a cozy cover emulating a warm hug. So without further ado, here are my (and some of of my Instagram fam’s) the top 6 emotional support blankets on the market RN in no particular order:
Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket (photographed above): She’s super soft. She’s weighted, too. The Cozy Earth faux fur Bubble Cuddle Blanket (photographed above) is also replete with a distinctively textured bubble design. My son and I are at war every night on who keeps her for the night. Available here and I have a 40% off code for you: CE-MARIA.T
Lola Blanket: Touted as the “softest blanket ever” the team over at Lola Blanket are not fibbing. My little brother gifted me one for Christmas and I am VERY into how supple this blanket feels. Also worth noting? It’s not as heavy as the Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle if you are seeking a lighter situation although there is a weighted iteration too. I also love the different patterns offered such as the caramel and cream option. Available here and I have a 35% off code for you: MARIAT
Minky Couture: My neighbor and fellow blanket enthusiast Paige was literally TRAUMATIZED I was in the dark over Minky Couture. Not to mention I’ve also heard the girls over on The Toast podcast sing to Minky Couture’s praises so here we are. Supper soft, you MUST spring for their Hugs style blanket according to Paige. The Hugs styles are completely sold out (annoying!) but when back in stock, they are available here and I have a 50% off code for you: INSTAGRAM50
Barefoot Dreams: If you don’t know this brand already, you may be living under a rock (sorry not sorry!). This was the starter drug on my blanket journey. Not as weighted as the aforementioned blankies, Barefoot Dreams offers up a lighter option with a very distinctive touch and feel. I also appreciate how these throws are easier to wash as the preceding ones are behemoths. Available here
Sunday Citizen Snug Throw: I received several DMs stating Sunday Citizen is another fan favorite in the throw realm. Their version is also lightweight and comprised of a supple fabric. I also appreciate the various color options with this brand and it’s priced lower than the above blankets at $98. Available here
Target Threshold Shiny Chenille Throw Blanket: Another Instagram follower slid into my DMs about this gem and you know we don’t gatekeep! The knitted fabric exudes a soft and cozy vibe and it’s available in a spate of neutral hues. The cherry on top? Priced at a wallet friendly $24, we can always thank the Target Gods for bringing mirth to the masses. Available here
