The Coziest Blanket

Is there anything better than cuddling up on the couch on a cold winter day in sweats with a warm drink wrapped up in a super cozy, fuzzy blanket?! No...the answer is no. I'm happy to say I have found THE ultimate cozy blanket for all your cuddling needs that you need to get!

Not only is this Pottery Barn faux fur blanket the fuzziest and coziest blanket I've ever owned, but it's also oversized [the blanket is 60" wide x 80" long]which makes cuddling up on the couch that much better. The blanket also weighs about five pounds and this may sound weird but the added weight on top of my bed has helped me sleep so much better!

Studies show that weighted blankets help reduce anxiety and stress, creating a calming effect on your nervous system by grounding your body during sleep. This grounding process increases serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels, improving your mood and creating a restful sleep at the same time [a few articles and more details here, here, here, and here].

So on top of helping me feel extra cozy and sleep better, this blanket is the perfect throw to accent your couch, bed or an oversized chair. It comes in a variety of colors [I have the ivory] to fit any decor style. So hop on over to Pottery Barn and get yourself this ruched faux fur oversized throw!
