Swaddle Yourself In One Of These Cozy Baby Blankets For Adults

They're also an easy way to add a pop of subtle and texture color to a space.

There’s no time like the present to elevate the coziness factor in your home. Candles, warm socks, and a good cup of tea can help to set the mood, but there’s nothing like a soft blanket to really ensure high-end comfy vibes.

But, if you’re someone who overheats easily, you’ll want to find a lightweight option that is cute and snuggly but won’t leave you drenched in sweat. That’s where the ever-popular cotton gauze or muslin blanket comes in extra handy.

Otherwise known as a baby blanket for adults, this style of light and airy blanket is the perfect extra layer for a couch, lounge chair, or bed. This blanket style is reminiscent of an infant swaddle, largely in part due to its muslin cotton fabrication and soft, textured weave.

It’s an easy way to add a pop of subtle color to a space and luxuriate in extra warmth when the temperatures start to cool down. Faux fur blankets had their moment in the sun, but now it’s time for these easy, breezy beauties to get their due. 

Below, we’ve curated a selection of the best baby blankets for adults from some of our favorite retailers like Amazon, The Citizenry, Parachute, Brooklinen, and more. Snag the one that best fits your budget and personal home style:

1. Parachute Cloud linen gauze bed blanket

Parachute

This deliciously lightweight and billowy blanket from Parachute is a great option for anyone who wants a larger-sized bed blanket. It has that popular swaddle-like texture, but is been elevated to give it a decidedly sophisticated aesthetic.

Promising review: "This is a very delicate blanket and I love it. I wouldn’t recommend this blanket if you let cats on your bed, though. It will easily snag on anything. It’s just the nature of it. I use this as an accent throw in my king size bed. I would love to see it in other colors like a mustard yellow, a color similar to the clay color, a perfect fall leaf orange. I’d have all those colors to switch up through out the year. I love this blanket because it’s an actual blanket size too. A throw is too small to drape over the entire bed and have it hang on either side." —Lolita H.

Get it from Parachute for $199+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

2. Emme cotton throw blanket

Promising review: "This thing is big enough for two people but who wants to share? Not me! This is soo soft, definitely my softest muslin blanket and still manages to be lightweight enough to not make me feel hot. If you are looking for a muslin blanket, stop and get this one. You won't regret it" —Natasha Fundora
