The blanket can be used as a cover for a sofa or chair, used as a blanket or as a replacement for a warm cape.

There is just one catch: choosing a blanket is not an easy task due to the mass of options available.

If you are faced with such a need, first study the advice from this article. The main recommendation is to choose a blanket based on the material it is made of.

Natural fabrics

The blanket can be made of wool, cotton, fur or down. Such models are an indispensable "attribute" for home or outdoor recreation.

Natural blankets have excellent qualities such as softness and the ability to give warmth. However, there is a downside: washing them is quite problematic. In addition, they need a lot of time to dry.

It is also worth remembering that natural materials can cause allergies.

Artificial fabrics

In this case, acrylic, microfiber, polyester, artificial fur or fleece are used as manufacturing materials. They are very convenient to take with you on the road, since these blankets are soft enough, but at the same time quite practical.

Artificial fabric is easy to wash and practically does not absorb dust, but at the same time has reduced air permeability, which can cause some discomfort.
