There are countless full blanket options out there, from throws that fit perfectly on your couch to large blankets that cover an entire bed. And while blanket sizes aren’t standardized like mattress sizes, there are some standard categories for different sizes of blankets to help you narrow down your search.

This is the category for a blanket that’s small enough to fit on your couch or bed, but still big enough to feel cozy and warm when you wrap up with it. They’re usually about 65 by 50 inches, and some are a bit bigger than that so you can drape them over the sides of your mattress or other furniture.

Cozy Up with Full Blankets: Finding the Perfect Size and Material for All-Season Comfort

Full (double) blankets are about 85 by 90 inches, so they work well on a full or double mattress and can even be used on a twin if you don’t mind it not covering all of the surface area. Some people also use this size of blanket for a queen mattress or even a king, but you’ll need to be careful not to overstuff the blanket because it might make you too hot during the night.

This is the category for blankets that are made with materials like cotton or wool, and they typically come in a wide range of colors and styles to suit any decor. They’re usually a little more expensive than blankets made with other materials, but they tend to be lighter and more breathable than other types of blankets, which makes them ideal for summer nights. They’re also a great choice for people who struggle with allergies because they’re generally less likely to cause irritation.
