Throw blankets and cold weather are synonymous. Even if you have the heat cranked up, there's something that feels so right about snuggling up in a warm throw blanket while sipping a steaming cup of tea. Plus, since many of us are working from home, a blanket is the perfect way to fight the midday chills.

However, there's a certain balance needed for the perfect throw. It needs to be cozy and soft, yet not too heavy or feel suffocating. Something that's just right. Plus, it should be easy to wash as you’ll be getting a ton of use out of these blankies this chilly season. Below, you’ll find 15 of the most popular throw blankets on the market that will keep you cozy all winter long.

As the name implies, the Bliss Plush Throw feels like absolute bliss. It's possibly the most popular blanket at Nordstrom with more than 1,800 reviews and a 4.8-star rating. It's made of 100% polyester, and reviewers claim it's still super soft and fluffy even after multiple washes. One reviewer bought 11 of these blankets just so her family would stop fighting over them—that's how great they are. Plus, Nordstrom will donate some proceeds to Operation Warm, an organization that provides winter coats to kids, so you can feel good about your purchase, too.
