What Makes Costco's Popular Throw Blanket So Luxurious? We Have All The Details
When the weather gets colder and a winter chill is in the air, what's your favorite way to get cozy? Maybe you love to enjoy a good book and a mug of hot chocolate. Some of us gather around the firepit with good friends and a glass of wine. And of course, it's easy to lounge the day away in front of a roaring fireplace. If you're especially cold, there are a lot of hacks for a warmer house, from installing window film to hanging tapestries. Fuzzy socks and flannel layers can also help, but one of the easiest ways to get warm is by curling up with a blanket.
Fans are raving about one of Costco's popular throw blankets, the FRYE Arctic Luxe Faux Fur Throw. One person said it lulled them to sleep so quickly they wondered if it's enchanted. But what makes it so luxurious? The 60-by-70-inch throw has a high-pile faux fur on one side and a smooth plush on the reverse, along with a silk-like poly fill that gives it a weighted blanket feel without getting too stiff or heavy. Along with being great to the touch, it drapes beautifully over the arm of a sofa or back of a chair (this simple design trick can make your home feel more warm and cozy).
Hundreds of Costco customers love this inexpensive throw blanket because it's plush and cozy
So what are people saying about this fur throw blanket? "These are so good, everyone in my family has one of their own," one happy customer said in a TikTok video. They added that the blanket is currently available for such a great price that it will also be a go-to gift this year. Regularly priced at $35, the FRYE throw is currently on sale for $27 through November 30, 2024. Over 1,000 Costco customers agree, leaving the blanket five-star reviews because it's soft, plush, and extremely high-quality. It's available online in white or grey, and some other colors are available in-store. There aren't many negative reviews for this throw blanket, though some customers found it too heavy, didn't like the fur, and said it didn't match the photo online.
Several reviewers describe the plush side as "minky", a type of microfiber fabric that is made from 100% polyester fibers that are tightly knitted together into a finished product that is extremely durable and hypoallergenic. Although our survey found that fleece is the most popular type of throw blanket, the material sheds and pills over time, which creates a rougher texture and just doesn't look as nice. Minky, on the other hand, stays soft to the touch even when washed. Some customers did caution that the faux fur side of this blanket was prone to matting in the washer, so be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions before use.
