If you want a blanket that protects against chills due to air conditioning or one that provides warmth on autumnal and winter evenings but barely feel its presence when you are sleeping, then a down blanket may be just what you need. Down blankets are lightweight; they make your sleep more comfortable than regular blankets. Some down blankets can also be used during summer nights; you can still use them with a comforter during winter season.

You can choose among the different colors, sizes, qualities and weights. White, thyme, chocolate, ivory, taupe, garnet, sienna, marine and thistle are just some of the available colors of down blankets. Sizes of down blankets include toddler, twin, full, queen and king. A down blanket filled with hypoallergenic, pure white goose down is the most expensive in the market. You can also find some down blankets of lesser quality; these are usually filled with down and feather, or with less quantity of down.

Most down blankets have a box-quilted construction to make the down stable and keep it in place. They are also made of cotton bound with satin trimming for smoother touch. If you want a good quality down blanket, you must choose one with double stitching along the edges for leak prevention, high thread count (the number of threads per square inch of fabric), and high fill power. Should you buy down blankets with higher fill power, you will get fluffier, warmer and lighter quality.

You may also want to consider an embroidered down blanket for luxurious touches. For easy care of down blankets, you can choose a machine washable over those that are designed for dry cleaning only. If down blankets are hard to find in your local store, you can easily shop on the Internet. You will have options to buy an imported or a locally made down blanket.
