Why Soft Throws Are One of the Most Useful Cold-Weather Home Accessories

Quick answer: For cold weather, the warmest throws are sherpa, fleece, faux fur, and plush polyester, while cotton throws are lighter and more breathable for year-round use. A standard throw (about 50 × 60 inches) covers one person on a sofa or chair. For bed coverage, choose an oversized throw or a full-size blanket. Check that the throw is machine washable and has securely finished edges.
