It's been quite chilly lately — to say the least — and with a cold snap predicted to hit large areas of the U.S., the temperatures are about to drop even more. That means cozy blanket weather is upon us.
While shopping for quality bedding can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, our team of textile experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute (myself included!) constantly test sheets, comforters and blankets to find items that are actually worth adding to cart. And we just so happened to hit the jackpot on Amazon. My favorite (and the award-winning) Bedsure fleece throw blanket is $18 — the lowest price we've seen in two years.
At a regular retail price of under $30, the Bedsure Fleece Throw Blanket already offers great value without the discount — part of the reason it wowed our pros and panel of consumer testers. In fact, this cozy throw earned a Bedding Award and was even named our best overall throw blanket.
I personally use my Bedsure blanket nearly every night. It's unbelievably soft and cozy, perfect to snuggle up under when watching a movie. I’ve tested many different throw blankets in my home, and this one is my favorite because of its insanely soft fabric that doesn't shed fibers. Bonus: we spotted a few more GH Institute-tested Bedsure items on sale right now, including a Bedding Award-winning heated blanket and a duvet insert at its lowest-ever price.

Bedsure's top-tested throw is made from a polyester microfiber fabric: one side is soft and velvety, while the underside has a plush sherpa texture for added warmth. According to testers, this throw doesn't lose its fluffiness after being machine-washed and dried. “I swear I woke up happier because of the coziness of this blanket," said one tester, who gave it a perfect score across every testing category. We also love that it's available in five sizes from throw to California king and comes in 23 different colors to match virtually any home aesthetic.
Even our home expert staffers are longtime fans of the throw. "The throw blanket feels quite substantial for [the price], and I'm impressed by how warm it is," says Monique Valeris, home design director at Good Housekeeping. "Plus, it holds up well in the wash."
Whether you wrap yourself in it for movie marathons or use it alongside a comforter during this cold snap, we suggest shopping quickly to avoid missing out on the super low price.
