A winter blanket is a heavy, insulating bedding layer specifically designed to provide warmth during cold weather. These blankets are made from materials with high thermal properties, such as wool, fleece, down alternative, or thick cotton, and may feature a plush or napped surface for added coziness. Winter blankets are often used as an extra layer over sheets and under a duvet or comforter, or as a standalone covering on milder winter nights. Their primary function is to trap body heat effectively while allowing breathability to prevent overheating. In application, winter blankets are essential for comfort in unheated rooms or in regions with harsh winters. For example, a wool blanket placed at the foot of the bed can be pulled up for extra warmth during particularly cold nights, providing adjustable comfort. In a living room, a heavy throw blanket made of Sherpa or faux fur can be used while lounging on the couch, adding both warmth and a tactile decorative element. Winter blankets also make practical gifts for the holiday season. When selecting a winter blanket, key factors include material insulation properties, weight, size, and ease of care—for instance, machine-washable options are preferable for frequent use.
