A great blanket does more than set you up for a great couch nap: It can finish off the style of a room, add color and texture, and soften the hard edges.
Over the past decade, our bedding expert has tested nearly 80 blankets. And after her latest round of lounging, snoozing, stretching, and washing, we have some new winners — from a gloriously fuzzy and fetching wool blanket to a bright, bold knit throw she says looks like “a burst of pop art.”

Plus: Is it worth changing your bedding for the season? |
 |
| Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter |
There’s no rule that says your bedding materials have to match. In fact, you might sleep better if you mix and match a variety of fabrics — percale, sateen, linen, or flannel. In colder months, for instance, we recommend pairing a flannel duvet cover with percale or sateen sheets for added coziness that won’t cause overheating.
