Top Mink Blanket to Keep You Warm This Winter

With winters knocking on the door, it is time to get your blankets out. There is nothing more satisfying than a good blanket to keep you warm and cozy through the winter nights. The difficult part is choosing the best mink blanket for you. Even though most mink blankets look alike, they are far from the same. They differ significantly in quality.

The best mink blankets are soft, lusciously thick with a plush texture. They are either from Korea or China. Vietnam is also not far behind in this competition. Korean mink blankets are considered a better quality since they come with a good acrylic and polyester blend. Chinese mink, on the other hand, is generally 100% polyester.

Amidst all this variety, it can get very confusing to find that right fit for you. This guide will help you sift through this soft and colorful world of mink blankets by listing the top 5 mink blankets to suit every budget and expectations.

Metrics to Look Out For

When you are out shopping for mink blankets, you should be on the lookout for a few standard metrics. This will help you figure out the quality of the blanket, its durability, warmth level, and other things. The top benchmarks are listed below:

  • Material: This is very important. The higher the polyester level in the blanket, the lower the quality. You should ideally be looking for an acrylic polyester blend since the acrylic will give it that plush soft feel, and the polyester will take care of the wrinkling over time.
  • The Ply Level: You get single-ply and double-ply blankets. The double-ply refers to blankets that can be reversed and feature design on both sides. It is also double layered, which provides extra warmth.
  • Design and Pattern: some people prefer an understated look while others like bold and bright patterns. Take care to buy the design you prefer since the blanket will be your constant companion through the winters and will dominate your bedroom look.
  • Price: This is an extremely important factor to pre-decide before you hit the market. You should have a fair estimation of how much you are willing to spend on the blanket so that you can narrow down your search to fit that range.
  • Wash: Most blankets are machine washable in cold water with tumble dry on low settings. However, you should always get the wash instructions and look out for after wash problems like coarseness, lint, and color fade.

Here is a list of the top 5 mink blankets to help you decide. These blankets have been shortlisted, keeping in mind the criterion listed above:

The JYK Heavy Korean Mink Fleece Blanket ranks the highest in the list because of its thick, luxurious feel and soft texture that is very addictive. It comes in a 77×87 size, which makes it suitable for the average queen-sized bed. There are plenty of designs to choose from the 15 patterns it offers. All the patterns are nice with bright, splashy colors. The designs vary from animals to flower patterns. They are all vivid enough to cheer you up during the winter gloominess.

The blanket comes as machine washable. However, it has an annoying tendency to pick up lint and to shed too much while in the wash. Tumble dry is only recommended on low settings, and hang dry is best. You will find a little coarseness after the washings, but that is the case with all blankets.

The blanket gives you 28 bright and colorful options in a variety of patterns, including Giraffes and the Eiffel Tower.

It comes in 85x 93 inches, which makes it small for a king size but appropriate for the queen-sized bed. You can machine wash this blanket, and it is sold in a vacuum pack making for easy transport. Unfortunately, it is 100% polyester, but the richness camouflages that completely.

Amazon Basics Soft Micromink Sherpa Blanket

Helpful Buying Tips

When you are looking at making a purchase, you should bear in mind certain pointers that will help you make an intelligent purchase. Some of these are:

  • Keep in mind your usage and purpose
  • Be aware of the return policy
  • Get the right size
  • Make sure it fits in with your décor
  • Be functional and practical. A white blanket is not a good choice for a kid’s bedroom

They are available in all sizes, colors, designs, and textures to satisfy your every requirement. So, choose one to warm you while gratifying your interior décor.
