The Internet Can't Get Enough of This $18 Amazon Blanket — and Neither Can I

While I'm generally pretty restrained when it comes to shopping, even I can't resist the temptation of a cozy splurge — especially during the holidays. Come wintertime, I give into all of my impulses — stocking up on chunky sweaters, drinking my weight in peppermint coffee, and adorning my home with cozy accents. In the case of my latest buy, I caved on what is perhaps Amazon's coziest bestseller to date: the Bedsure White Throw Blanket ($18, originally $22).

From the first moment I laid eyes on this blanket, I knew that I needed it in my home; with a 4.5 rating and nearly 8,000 rave reviews on Amazon's site, I'm apparently far from alone in my adoration of the product. And really, what's not to like about it? The fluffy fleece material! The bubbly ribbed detailing! The soothing color options! This throw blanket has all the makings of a self-care essential that's destined to go viral on TikTok at any given moment. Ahead of its presumed virality, I decided to test the home accessory for myself — analyzing its soft composition, weight, and overall plushness — to see if it's truly worth the hype.

What I Like About This Bedsure Blanket

For context: I have used this blanket every day since it arrived in the mail; it's draped across my bed when I sleep at night, on my couch when I'm lounging around in the evenings, and even styled over my office chair while I'm working from my desk. It's become as much a staple of my everyday life as a good moisturizer or a cup of coffee, so it's fair to say there's very little I don't like about it.

This throw blanket epitomizes cozy vibes: It's endlessly soft and covered in a fleece material that's as lavish at it is long-lasting. I love that it comes in a variety of size and color options, which made it easy to shop out the best version for my home. (I personally bought the blanket in the queen size with an off-white coloring, which blends beautifully into my home's color scheme and offers material to cover the entirety of my full-size bed.) Unlike traditional blankets, this product also has a striped design that creates a sensorial-feeling texture — and somehow adds even more appeal to its fluffy, cozy composition.

More than anything, I appreciate the affordability of this Amazon blanket. As someone who's constantly chasing feelings of coziness and comfort, I've dished out a lot of money on self-care products over the years — on everything from scented candles to name-brand blankets. This fleece blanket feels just as cozy — if not moreso — than other soft blankets I've purchased over the years, and it's available at a fraction of the cost. Not only will I be buying more versions of this Bedsure blanket for myself (you can never have too many blankets, right?), but you can bet I'll also be gifting it to loved ones, too.

What's Worth Noting About This Bedsure Blanket

I'll admit: The product photos had me convinced that this blanket was much thicker and heavier than it actually is. The pictures on Amazon's site make the throw look much more textured with a bubble-like design that gives it a unique feel. The reality is that it's structured more like a classic throw blanket with a subtle, ribbed detailing that's unique but far from as striking as the product images depict. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; I'm still obsessed with the coziness of the blanket, and actually appreciate that it's breathable enough to be used year-round, as opposed to a denser product I might just reserve for fall or winter use. But if you're in the market for a thick, marshmallow blanket, I'd recommend shopping out another option.

Who Is This Bedsure Blanket Best For?

Anyone who loves to indulge in a cozy buy will genuinely adore this blanket. Its soft and plushie design feels elevated, despite costing less than $20; I'd even argue that it rivals (or at least matches) the quality of throw blankets from other luxury brands. Whether you're looking for a stylish blanket to toss over the couch or want a large blanket to wrap yourself in on a lazy day, this Amazon blanket has enough variety to work for everyone's needs. Plus, it doubles as the perfect self-care gift to give for holidays, birthdays, and more.
