Picking the best sherpa throw blanket comes down to size, weight and what sits on the front side. This guide compares five throws that each have a sherpa side.
To explore other blanket types, see our electric blanket guide and our weighted blanket guide. Every pick here comes from the makers’ specifications on each Amazon listing, not our own testing, as our Editorial Policy explains. Check each listing’s size and care label before you choose.

What to Check Before Buying the Best Sherpa Throw Blanket
- Check the front side first, because three picks have flannel, one has stripes and one has tie-dye faux fur.
- Pick a size, since four picks are 50" x 60" and the PU MEI Sherpa is 60" x 80".
- Compare weight where it is stated: 2 pounds for the Bedsure Sherpa, 2.3 pounds for the Serenhom Faux Fur and about 3.4 pounds for the PU MEI Sherpa.
- Read the care text, since the PU MEI Sherpa, Bedsure Striped and Serenhom Faux Fur all call for a cold wash and a low tumble.
- Remember that the Amazon Basics Sherpa listing calls it a standard-size throw, not a cover for a full bed.
