As the weather turns colder and there’s a winter chill in the air, what’s your favorite way to get cozy? Maybe you like a good book and a mug of hot chocolate. Some of us gather around the fire pit with good friends and a glass of wine. And of course, it’s easy to lounge in front of a roaring fireplace all day. If you’re feeling particularly cold, there are plenty of tips for a warmer home, from installing window film to hanging tapestries. Fluffy socks and flannel layers can also help, but one of the easiest ways to stay warm is to curl up with a blanket.
Fans are raving about one of Costco’s popular blankets, the FRYE Arctic Luxe Faux Fur Throw. One person said it lulled them to sleep so quickly they wondered if it was enchanted. But what makes it so luxurious? The 60-by-70-inch throw features a deep pile faux fur on one side and a smooth plush on the other, along with a silky poly filling that gives it a weighted blanket feel without being too stiff or heavy. Not only does it feel great, but it also drapes beautifully over the arm of a sofa or the back of a chair (this simple design trick can make your home feel warmer and cozier).

So what are people saying about this fur blanket? “These are so good, everyone in my family has one of their own,” said one happy customer in a TikTok video. They added that the blanket is currently available at such a great price that it will also make a nice gift this year. The FRYE throw normally retails for $35 and is currently on sale for $27 through November 30, 2024. More than 1,000 Costco customers agree, giving the blanket five-star reviews for being soft, plush and extremely high quality. It is available online in white or gray, and some other colors are available in store. There aren’t many negative reviews for this blanket, although some customers found it too heavy, didn’t like the fur, and said it didn’t match the photo online.
Several reviewers describe the plush side as “minky,” a type of microfiber fabric made from 100% polyester fibers knitted tightly together to create a final product that is extremely durable and hypoallergenic. Although our research found that fleece is the most popular type of blanket, the material tends to pill over time, creating a rougher texture and not looking as nice. Minky, on the other hand, remains soft to the touch, even after being washed. Some customers warned that the faux fur side of this blanket was prone to matting in the washing machine, so be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
