Thanks to some truly brutal 2024 weather, a warm and cozy throw blanket has proven to be an absolute must this winter. But some throw blankets aren’t big enough to cover your whole body, leaving some of us to choose between warming our toes or our shoulders. Stop compromising. Splurge on an oversized blanket. We rounded up the best oversized blankets on the market, with dimensions included. They’re guaranteed to make your bed (or couch) a cozier place — no matter how cold it gets.


Big Blanket Co. Premier plush blanket (10 feet x 10 feet)

As its name implies, Big Blanket Co. makes some huge blankets. The Premier Plush oversized blanket is made of a super soft synthetic microfiber. It’s also wrinkle-resistant and big enough warm multiple people (or pets), making it great for movie nights with loved ones. 

The Premier Plush blanket has a 4.9-star rating on its site. One reviewer wrote: “Best blanket ever. The premier plush blanket is the softest blanket I’ve ever had. The only downfall to owning this blanket is that you will never wanna leave your bed.” 

Right now, the Premier plush blanket is on sale, discounted 20% off of its original price. 


Parachute oversize knit throw blanket (50 inches x 70 inches)

Parachute


If you’re looking for something slightly smaller than a 10-by-10-foot blanket (but still technically oversized), check out this Turkish organic cotton blanket from Parachute. It’s available in three neutral colors, including flex, charcoal and marled, so it’ll blend in well with different decor styles. 

The oversize knit throw blanket has a 4.8-star rating on the Paracute site. One reviewer called it “the coziest addition,” adding: “This is my second oversized throw from Parachute — I love it so much. This is a mid-weight, ultra soft cotton that’s perfect for bundling in bed or on the couch. 

“It’s extra roomy for one and can cozily be shared for two. Highly recommend!”


Pendleton national parks throw blanket (72 inches x 54 inches)

Urban Outfitters


The premium for a wool blanket is high, but it’s so worth it for the incredible softness and warmth that the fabric brings. These wool blankets from Pendleton are made of 90% wool and 10% cotton, and feature a beautiful striped pattern inspired by national parks. 

This blanket is big enough to drape over your bed, and comes with a convenient leather carrier so you can take the blanket with you easily on the go. 

You can get this Pendleton blanket in three styles, including Zion, Grand Canyon and a light gray with multicolored stripes. Keep in mind that because this is made primarily of wool, it can only be dry cleaned. 


Ugg XL Duffield spa throw: (74 inches x 94 inches)

UGG


If any brand knows how to do soft, it’s Ugg. We love this oversized throw blanket for its soothing, velvety texture that will feel fantastic against your skin. It’s big enough to completely cover a twin-size bed and comes in two neutral colors, including oatmeal and cream. 

This blanket has a 4.7 rating on the UGG site. 

One reviewer said they would “buy this product again and again,” adding: “this blanket is so soft, comfy, cozy [and] fun to snuggle with… Also our pets love it too; they are constantly trying to lay on it!!”


Sunday Citizen Snug bed blanket (8.5 feet x 7.5 feet)

Get this microfiber blanket in a king size for as much cozy coverage as possible. The blanket is hypoallergenic, comes in six neutral colors and boasts an Oeko Tex certification, meaning no harmful chemicals were used in making this blanket. Plus, unlike many other throw blankets, it comes in bedding sizes, including twin, queen and king. 

The Sunday Citizen Snug bed blanket has a 4.7-star rating.

One reviewer said this was “the coziest blanket ever,” adding: “The snug bed blanket has exceeded my expectations. It is the softest coziest blanket I have ever felt. It is a great layer — warm but doesn’t make me hot. My husband really likes it too — and he’s usually not a big fan blankets as they can make him sweat. Not this one! We love it!”


Beautyrest heated plush throw blanket (60 inches x 70 inches)

If you run cold, having an ordinary throw on may not be enough. If that’s the case, take it to the next level and get this electric Beautyrest blanket. The blanket has three heat settings and an auto shut-off for safety, in case you get too cozy and drift off to sleep while wearing this (we wouldn’t blame you). 

The blanket comes in four colors, including red, lavender, mink and grey.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson, stepson attacked while walking in New York City

NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.

The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.

Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.” 

The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.” 

Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added. 

Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.
