On my couch is always a big cozy blanket. For about a decade, I had the same one. It was the best. Cozy, not too hot, and the perfect weight. It was a gift from someone important in my life, and it quickly became not my blanket, but my dog Pork’s blanket.
I was devastated when there was a dryer incident with this beloved blanket that rendered it useless. In all honesty, I actually cried a little. It was a sentimental gift and one my aging dog absolutely adored.
It needed to be replaced ASAP because one can not reach optimal coziness on a couch without a great blanket. So I was on the hunt for a good, comfortable and cozy blanket. Insert, an UGG throw blanket.
Best Ugg Throw Blanket
We all know the popular boot brand, UGG. I’ve been wearing their boots since the early 2000s in high school. But I have never thought to try their blankets.
Clearly, this is a category they have been expanding on as there is a large collection of blankets and even bedding to choose from at UGG. The brand has so many products now it seems!
As a big fan of their slippers and boots, it was a no brainer to explore their blankets when I finally needed a new one for my couch. I ordered several to try them out to find the RIGHT one. Not too big, not too warm, just right.
Are Ugg Blankets Warm?
So warm. Ugg blankets are insanely cozy and warm. Even the thinnest of styles are quite warm and toasty. All of the ones listed below are 50 inches by 70 inches. This size is really perfect for a throw blanket. Any bigger and it’s just too big. Any smaller and you’re fighting to share it.
How To Wash An Ugg Throw Blanket
Machine Wash
Be sure to check your particular throw blanket, but from what I can tell, most are machine washable. I’d wash these by themselves in cold water or warm water, not hot, and on the gentle cycle. You can use any laundry to wash your blanket when you throw it in the washing machine.
Tumble Dry Or Hang Dry
I would suggest air drying if you can to extend the life of the blanket. Each Ugg blanket will have drying directions on the tag. I’ve seen both line dry as well as tumble dry on low. Just be aware. When in doubt, just hang dry, you can always toss it in for a couple of minutes to fluff it when it’s mostly dried.
Are Ugg Blankets Worth It
100% Ugg blankets are worth it. There’s nothing better than a good plush throw blanket on your couch. It’s comforting, it’s cozy, and it’s just the best. And I think these stand up to the price point. They’re high quality, extremely soft and beautiful, and great sizes. Big, but not too big.
Ugg Blankets vs Barefoot Dreams Blankets
Can I be honest? I am just not a fan of that feeling of the Barefoot Dreams fabric that they use. I like their socks, but the blankets I’m not big on. The microfiber fabric just doesn’t feel super substantial either when you’re under it.
I prefer the heavier weight of my specific Ugg blanket. Which yes, means it’s very warm and cozy for winter, and not ideal for summer days. And so for hotter days, I just use this cotton Jenni Kayne Sonoma throw blanket.
Ugg also has thinner options to choose from like the Whistler Throw. I say that also because the Barefoot Dreams blankets are a bit on the thin side. And since they’re usually 100% polyester, they can get really hot as this fabric doesn’t breathe.
