Hey Minky lovers,
Have you noticed that Minky Couture blankets vary in thickness and plushness? Picking out the best and softest blanket for yourself can be overwhelming. Maybe you didn’t know our blankets came in different thicknesses, and you need our help navigating your way through this luxurious blanket world.
Don’t worry!
We’re here to help you find the blanket best suited for you, and hopefully, you'll get to know our blankets a little bit better in the process. Many customers don’t realize our blankets vary in thickness, and sometimes it can be tricky to understand the lingo when we say, divinity or urban.
We'll do our best to break it down for you.
Listed thinnest to thickest:
- Pattern
- Sorbet
- Waffle - Classic
- Belgian Waffle
- Hugs
- Lush
When naming each blanket, we include the thickness and fabric type in the name, so our customers know what they’re buying. This helps customers to have an idea of what the blanket will look and feel like, especially if they are purchasing online.
Examples of these blanket names are Sorbet Charcoal and Lush Silver Birch.
As a new feature on our website, the thickness for each blanket is listed using a scale in the blanket description box.
Pattern and Sorbet blankets are our mid-weight blankets. The threads on these blankets are cut short, close to the mesh, and lay flat, leaving the blanket with a silky texture. All of our Pattern blankets are pre-made with a satin ruffle that borders the blanket to give it additional texture. Our Sorbet style was named after the look of the fabric because it reminded us of ice cream scoops.
Some of these Sorbet blankets include:
- Sorbet Mist
- Sorbet Charcoal
- Sandra
The next step up in blanket thickness from Sorbet is Waffle. This style is plusher than the previous style because of the longer cut threads that create a fluffy feel.
Blankets that fall into this category are:
The next thickness our blankets come in is our Lush line, just a notch up from Waffle style blankets. The threads on the Lush blankets are cut longer than all the other styles and give each blanket an Ultra plush look.
Examples of our Lush style blankets include:
Lastly, a newer addition to our luxurious blankets, our Hugs Collection, a line of stretchy Minky fabric launched in November 2019! To say the least, We. Are. Obsessed. These blankets are perfect for snuggling in and are meant to be stretched around you for the ultimate and best hug of your life.
In this collection, we have over 20 ever changing color options including shades of:
- Pink
- Charcoal
- Neutrals
- Blue
As far as the softest blanket goes...that’s a good question. And such a tough one! Each Minky Couture blanket style has its own unique texture. We carry so many kinds because there are so many different kinds of people, all with different blanket plushness preferences. Some love our Lush blankets and their Ultra plush feature, where some love the silky texture of our mid-weight Sorbet style.
You’ll stay warm, snuggled up in whichever of these lush Minky Couture blankets is best for you! If you would like to learn more, check out our post on the different types of Minky Couture products and blankets.
