Whether you're embarking on a long-haul flight, hitting the road for a cross-country adventure, or heading out on a camping adventure, a high-quality travel blanket can make all the difference.

Scroll down below to find your next travel blanket guaranteed to make others jealous of how cozy you'll be on your next trip.

Best Overall

Kashwere travel blanket.

• Quality 5 /5
• Comfort 5 /5
• Ease of Use 5 /5

This blanket delivers the perfect combination of comfort, durability, and versatility.

The carrying bag is made of the same chenille fabric as the blanket, so it takes some effort to fit the blanket back inside the fuzzy bag.

If you’re a frequent traveler who values comfort, this travel blanket is worth every penny. We gave this Kashwere option a perfect score for being super cozy and comfortable, versatile, and durable. The blanket itself is made of a soft chenille yarn that feels like being wrapped in a cloud, providing a chef’s kiss balance between being warm but not heavy or too breezy. Size-wise, it might not be big enough to wrap you head to toe, but it covers all the important bits when you're sitting down — perfect for planes, cars, or just chilling at home. The fabric held up well after machine-washing and drying, and we thought the zipper on the carrying bag was sturdy. Bonus points: this blanket comes with its own carrying bag made of the same material, so you can double up the use for the packed blanket as a pillow, although it might not always be the easiest to tuck the blanket back inside the bag.

Best for Flights

Travelrest 4-in-1 travel blanket.

We love the wearability and portability of this Travelrest option.

We wish it came with a pillow, but it’s not a total dealbreaker.

This blanket feels just like that favorite throw blanket you'd fight your friends over at an Airbnb — soft, plush, and just right for keeping warm on chilly flights. Its standout feature is the poncho style with plenty of room in the sleeves, and it’s made from plush fleece that covered us from neck to ankles. Perfect for car rides, train trips, and flights, or even just lounging at home or at a sports event, this blanket was a breeze to unpack and repack thanks to its laptop case-like zip around and additional drawstring bag. When we rolled it and placed it inside, we were impressed that it packed down to the size of a water bottle. Snag this blanket if you're a busy traveler who hates lugging around bulky blankets!

Best for Camping

Yeti lowlands blanket.

• Comfort 4.5 /5
• Ease of Use 3.5 /5

From its waterproof material to its sturdy build, it doesn't get any more durable than this blanket.

This is way too large to use on a plane and is better suited for outdoor scenarios like camping trips, picnics, or beach outings.

First off, let's talk size: this blanket is massive, clocking in at about 6.5 by 4.5 feet and weighing nearly six pounds. While it might be a bit too big and heavy for squeezing onto your luggage for a plane trip, it's perfect for car rides or any outdoor adventure — especially camping. The blanket comes with its own carrying case, making it easy to throw with your other travel items. 

One side of the blanket is soft to the touch, while the other is built for toughing it out on the ground. We love that it has a waterproof layer, making it so convenient against spills and soggy ground. We also noticed how durable it is, and we definitely think it will stand up well to pebbled surfaces while camping while still feeling soft and warm. While the price might seem steep at $200, it's worth the investment for its versatility and durability.

The Details: 78 x 55 inches | 5.8 pounds | 65 percent polyester/35 percent rayon (comfort side), 100 percent polyester (utility side)

Best Portable

Bluehills travel blanket pillow.

Priced at approximately $30, this is one of the best budget-friendly options on our list.

If you tend to run cold, this blanket might be too lightweight for you.

Why use a sad airline blanket when you can bring your own? While some of the other blankets on this list are too large to comfortably use on a plane, this one is the perfect portable size. We thought it was super soft and lightweight, but a tad thin — it’s ideal for keeping cozy on a plane or car ride, but maybe not quite warm enough for those who easily get chilly. We appreciated the stress-free packability when it’s time to deplane (no wrestling with a stubborn blanket here!). When you’re ready to pack it up, it folds neatly back into its plush carrying case, which doubles as a cozy pillow after you zip it up. It also features a luggage strap and a clip to attach it to a backpack that makes it convenient to carry.

Best Versatile

Away the travel blanket.

• Ease of Use 4 /5

Featuring thermoregulating technology, this blanket keeps you comfy in any temperature while remaining lightweight.

 Folding a blanket that's almost 6 by 4 feet into itself on a plane is not the easiest task, but once it's packed, it's super lightweight and compact.

Away’s The Travel Blanket is the Goldilocks of travel blankets on our list — it's never too hot, never too cold, and always just right. Made of lightweight nylon, we thought it was like snuggling up in a sleeping bag . It might not be the comfiest material out there, but its size (it stretches across three airplane seats!), breathability, and versatility for any occasion makes up for it. The blanket also has a foot pocket, but we noticed we couldn’t reach it comfortably without being overwhelmed by fabric while we tried it out on a plane because of how large the blanket is, so we think this blanket is better suited for car rides, Airbnb stays when you need extra blankets, or outdoor activities like picnics or camping trips.

The blanket features 37.5 thermoregulating technology to personalize climate control, and we did notice that we never felt chilly or overheated when using it. “If you get hot, 37.5 active particles help to cool you down. If you get cold, these same particles work to warm you up,” according to the product listing on the Away website . Plus, it has some pretty unique features like snaps to attach it to a travel pillow and a strap to hook onto a bag. We also love that the blanket folds into itself, so there isn’t an extra bag you have to carry around.

The Details: 69.5 x 44.5 inches | 1.05 pounds | 100 percent Cocona 37.5 Nylon

Best Cashmere Set

Naked cashmere 4-piece travel set.

Naked Cashmere

• Value 4.5 /5

This travel set also comes with a pair of cashmere socks, a sleep mask, and a silk pillowcase.

It’s definitely a splurge as the priciest option on this list.

Look no further if you want to travel in style: this set is a luxury sleep kit in a pouch. It comes with cashmere socks and a silk sleep mask, and the silk pouch transforms into a pillowcase when the blanket's inside. Our T+L team member who tested this set was instantly sold when they slipped on the socks, wrapped up in the oversized blanket, and got comfy on a cross-country flight. They even continued to use it at their destination when they got chilly. This blanket feels like a dream — it’s so soft, it's like wrapping yourself in a designer sweater. Priced at $450, it is an investment, but we deem it worth the splurge (and it makes a luxurious gift for the traveler who has everything).  

The Details: 82 x 50 inches | Cashmere

Most Durable

Eddie bauer packable synthetic throw.

Not only is this blanket highly packable and portable, but it also withstands all sorts of activities, from camping trips to sports events.

The color and style options are loud and bold.

What to Consider: The color and style options are loud and bold. 

This travel blanket is the ultimate all-in-one travel companion. What sets this blanket apart is its perfect balance between puffiness and smoothness; it's soft to the touch, but when it's time to hit the road again, it rolls up effortlessly into its carry bag. It’s so lightweight that we forgot we were even carrying it! It is also clear that this blanket is built to last. Despite our rigorous testing, it stood up to everyday use — including cat claws, car rides, and wash cycles — while staying soft and cozy. It's the perfect blend of lightweight portability and maximum warmth, making it a top choice for travelers.

The Details: 70 x 50 inches | Polyester

PAVILIA Travel Blanket and Pillow

• Quality 3.5 /5

With its velvety feel, portability, and budget-friendly price tag, this is a solid choice for anyone looking for bang for their buck.

This travel blanket lacks certain premium features compared to others on the market.

This travel blanket is wallet-friendly without compromising on comfort. Made from microfleece polyester, it's soft, lightweight, and velvety, perfect for covering up whether you're sitting or laying down. Its compact size makes it easy to wear on a train or a plane when you don’t want to encroach on the person sitting next to you, but it’s still large enough to cover you and keep you warm. To pack it up, simply fold it a couple of times, zip it into its carrying pouch, and voila — you've got yourself a pillow. Plus, the pouch has a strap for easy carrying, which you can buckle onto a backpack strap or luggage handle. While it might not be the fanciest blanket out there, it holds up well in the wash and should last a few years. And at its price, it's a steal for the comfort and convenience it offers.

The Details: 60 x 43 inches | Microfleece

Best Puffer

L.l.bean puffer blanket.

This do-it-all camp blanket is perfect for sitting around the fire, sleepovers, movie night, picnics, and more.

The available patterns might not fit everyone’s taste.

Wrapping yourself in this blanket is like snuggling up with a puffer coat: slick and water-resistant but still comfy to the touch. Despite being lightweight, we found that this option kept us nice and toasty without making us feel overheated. Its flexibility made it easy to fold down this blanket into its travel bag, compact enough to match the size of a 40-ounce water bottle. It also features elastic bands on each corner to turn this blanket into a makeshift cape or coat. We love that this blanket is tougher than it looks, holding up all our testing with no signs of wear and tear.

The Details: 75 x 54 inches | 1.7 pounds | Polyester

White+Warren Cashmere Travel Wrap

White+Warren

Suitable for either a flight or a fancy dinner, we love how practical, chic, and versatile this wrap is for several occasions.

Its material is cashmere, so you have to dry clean it.

This White + Warren wrap may just be our new favorite go-to accessory for winter travel. What sets it apart is its versatility, doubling as a cozy blanket for travel or a shawl that you can wear over your shoulders. It's well over five feet in length and though it's not the widest when compared to more traditional blankets, it’s wider than a standard scarf so you can wear it draped over your body or lap to keep warm in transit. The wrap's premium cashmere material adds to its luxe appeal, and that means you can even wear it out to dinner while looking stylish — and you can’t do that with a regular airplane blanket. Bonus points for making it out of a 14-hour travel day packed into a personal item without any wrinkles!

The Details: 81 x 36 inches | Cashmere

Travel + Leisure / Anna Popp

Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket

This massive blanket offers ample warmth and coverage, and there’s a huge selection of color options.

It’s not the easiest to stuff back into its carrying case, and it’s too large to use on a plane.

We found your next camping companion with the Rumpl The Original Puff. The generous size of this blanket provides lots of cozy comfort whether you’re covering yourself to sleep or laying or sitting on top of it. With 30 color options to choose from, this travel blanket is great for anyone looking for an airy, breathable, and versatile blanket for outdoor use. The included stuff sack adds convenience, though packing it back up requires some effort akin to rolling and tucking a sleeping bag or camping air mattress back into its case. At $125, it's a worthwhile investment for warm camping trips or outdoor activities but may not be practical for frequent air travel due to its large size.

The Details: 75 x 52 inches | 2.1 pounds | Recycled polyester

Best Insulated

The north face wawona blanket.

The North Face

• Comfort 4 /5
• Ease of Use 4.5 /5

This lightweight blanket delivers on warmth and packability.

We found that this blanket is not the most cozy option.

We recommend this water-resistant North Face blanket specifically for outdoor activities and events, making it ideal for travelers seeking a lightweight, packable option that will keep you warm without taking up much space in your bag. The blanket features recycled synthetic insulation that provides warmth but lacks the soft feel of fleece or yarn. Packing and unpacking the blanket were straightforward, and though it took us a little bit of effort to fold the blanket neatly back into the attached carrying bag, once you get it back inside, the bag helps compress the blanket to a compact size that you can stow away in a backpack. The blanket showed no signs of wear or tear after multiple uses and washes, but we do think it has the potential to get snagged or tear if faced with anything sharp.

The Details: 72 x 55.9 inches | 1.5 pounds | Recycled polyester

Unhide Lil' Marsh Traveler

It feels expensive for how comfortable and soft it is but is super affordable.

It only comes in a few neutral shades of beige, and it does not include any straps or carrying cases.

Cuddly, comfortable, convenient, and cozy — and those are only the adjectives beginning with “C” when describing this blanket. Despite its ability to roll up small, the Unhide Lil’ Marsh Traveler proved to be a large blanket, providing ample coverage with plenty of extra room while sitting or lying down. This would make a great option for a plane or car ride for how thin and soft it is without any excessive bulk to bog you down or get in your neighbor’s way. We found that this blanket maintained its softness and durability throughout testing, remaining in pristine condition even after frequent use and washes. It can also easily fit into a tote bag or carry-on due to its thin material, making it easy to travel with when you have limited space but want something soft and snuggly to cover yourself with.

The Details: 60 x 50 inches | 1.7 pounds | Polyester

Other Travel Blankets We Liked

Four additional travel blankets we tested couldn’t quite earn a spot on our list due to minor issues but still had notable features that may meet the needs of some travelers.

Forestfish Fleece Throw Blanket : Priced at under $20, this blanket offers a good value for those seeking a smaller, lightweight travel blanket, especially suitable for shorter road trips. While it was adequate for drives, it may not offer enough insulation for plane or train rides with less temperature control.

Therm-a-rest Honcho Poncho Wearable Hoodie Blanket : This blanket maintains warmth without overheating, making it suitable for various outdoor activities. While its wearability adds convenience, it does not offer much coverage in poncho mode.

Sagefinds Soft Travel Blanket with Bag : Although deceivingly thin, this option offers a step up from airline blankets, providing warmth and breathability without being overly luxurious. It's deemed best for budget-conscious travelers seeking portability.

Eversnug Travel Blanket and Pillow : We like the versatility of being able to use this item as both a blanket and a pillow. However, it’s not the best choice for those who are taller because it’s on the smaller size.

Our T+L team tested 19 travel blankets in everyday travel scenarios to assess comfort, ease of use, durability, and value. We followed a comprehensive examination to evaluate each option, including overall construction, fabric choice, design features, warmth, and packability. We used the blankets in a variety of practical scenarios including traveling by plane, train, and car; during outdoor events; and even while lounging at home to determine comfort, functionality, versatility, and durability. 

We took notes on how heavy or lightweight the blankets felt, how warm or breathable they were, how large or compact they were, how easy it was to pack or fold them, and any unique features they had to make them more portable or comfortable. For the blankets that were machine-washable, we washed them at least once during the initial testing period to see how they held up and if the materials changed at all.

Our long-term plan includes testing for an additional six months to monitor each blanket’s performance and durability in different travel scenarios. As we continue to test the blankets in various real-world settings, we will continue to take notes on portability, practicality, and any wear and tear, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of each travel blankets’ reliability. We will update these results if our findings should change.

Tips for Buying Travel Blankets 

Think of your intended use.

When buying a travel blanket, consider your intended use carefully. If you're primarily using it for flights, prioritize coziness and a compact size — you won’t want something too large or too bulky that will take up too much space in your personal item or spill into the neighboring seat. Look for blankets made from soft materials that provide warmth without being too heavy to carry. Opt for lightweight options that can easily fit into your bag and keep you comfortable during long flights.

On the other hand, if you're planning to use the blanket for camping or outdoor activities, prioritize warmth and durability. Consider blankets that are larger, thicker, and possibly waterproof (or at least water-resistant) to withstand various weather conditions. Look for materials like fleece or wool that provide insulation and keep you warm even in chilly outdoor settings.

Additionally, pay attention to the dimensions of the blanket. Some blankets are designed for one person, while others are larger and suitable for two. Choose the size that best fits your needs, whether you prefer individual coverage or sharing with a travel companion.

Keep portability in mind

When you're on the hunt for a travel blanket, don't forget about portability. Look out for ones that come with a handy carrying case, especially those with luggage sleeves or clips that you can easily attach to your backpack or suitcase. Having a dedicated carrying case helps keep the blanket compact and protected when not in use, preventing it from taking up too much space in your luggage or personal bag. Some blankets can even double as pillows when you fold them up into their cases. Additionally, it helps to not carry one more additional item (look ma, no hands!) and makes it effortless to bring along during travel.

Look at special features

Traveling is hard enough, so when shopping for a travel blanket, consider special features that enhance functionality and comfort. Look for blankets with built-in footrest pockets, which provide extra warmth and coziness during long journeys. Zippered compartments are handy for storing small items like headphones or travel documents, keeping them within easy reach.

You can also opt for blankets that can fold into a pillow, offering versatility and saving space in your luggage. Waterproof blankets are ideal for outdoor adventures, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather conditions. Thermoregulating blankets help maintain a comfortable temperature, keeping you warm without overheating. Blankets with sleeves and hoods allow you to wear them like a garment, providing maximum coverage and warmth.

Ultimately, the size of your optimal travel blanket depends on your personal preferences, intended use, and travel requirements. Determine if you'll be using the blanket alone or sharing it with a travel companion. Look for a blanket that provides adequate coverage for your body lengthwise and widthwise, and think about whether you’ll be using the blanket draped over your lap or shoulders on an airplane or to snuggle your entire body under while sleeping in a tent. Check the dimensions to ensure it will fully cover you while sitting or lying down, especially if you're tall or prefer extra room.

It’s also best to consider how you'll be using the blanket. If it's primarily for air travel, a smaller size that fits comfortably in your carry-on bag may be ideal. For camping or outdoor activities, a larger size for added warmth and comfort may be more suitable.

Packing a travel blanket is relatively simple and depends on its design and size. If the blanket comes with a carrying case or pouch, fold or roll it neatly and tuck it into the case. Some blankets are designed to fold into themselves, transforming into a compact pillow or storage bag, making them easy to pack. If there's no specific carrying case, fold the blanket into a manageable size and place it in your luggage or travel bag like you would do for a sweatshirt or pair of pants. Consider using compression packing cubes or vacuum-sealed bags to further reduce bulk and save space if it’s a bulkier blanket.

Washing a travel blanket typically depends on the material and care instructions provided by the manufacturer. In general, most travel blankets made of synthetic materials like polyester or fleece are machine-washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. After washing, air drying is usually recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and prevent shrinking or damage from high heat. There are also some cashmere blankets on this list that are dry-clean only. Be sure to check the care label on the blanket for specific instructions and any additional precautions.

The 10 Best Travel Blankets of 2024

Bundle up in the Cocoon Coolmax Blanket wherever you go

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Thanks to the versatility of its fabric, which dries quickly, feels soft, provides warmth, wicks away sweat, and packs down to a travel-friendly size, Cocoon’s Travel Blanket will work in almost all scenarios. But if you’re looking for something more rugged—say to use at the beach or outdoors— go with weatherproof technology like the Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket , which mirrors the insulation properties of down to provide serious warmth.

Despite what airlines and those little air-conditioning ports positioned far above your seat might suggest, an airplane's temperature lies pretty much beyond the passengers' control. However, a travel blanket lets you take back control, offering an easy, comforting extra layer of warmth when you're cold. And we're not talking about those horrible, sometimes-gratis airline blankets awkwardly shoved into the overhead. The best travel blankets offer plush comfort and tech-forward fabrics to keep you at the optimal temperature and provide a bit of much-needed privacy from your encroaching seatmate. Even beyond flying, they're great for everything from waiting out long layovers to avoiding scratchy hotel comforters to being a much-needed additional layer of warmth when camping.

In evaluating travel blankets, consider your typical travel experience. Frequent fliers who stay in nice hotels should gravitate to those specific to the seated position, while backpackers may want something compact so they're easy to pack. Car campers can go bigger, exploring blankets made of heavier, more durable fabrics.

Here are the best travel blankets.

• What to Look For

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best overall, cocoon coolmax blanket.

Facilitates thermal regulation

Easy to stow away

Not suitable for true cold

Constructed of 100 percent mid-weight CoolMax fabric, Cocoon’s Travel Blanket is soft, warm, breathable, dries extremely fast, and packs to a compact size that’ll fit inside the stingiest of carry-on luggage . Unfurled it measures 180 x 140 centimeters, with a packed size of only 15 x 9 centimeters when folded and stashed in the included stuff sack. It comes in various solid colors and is machine-wash-friendly, another bonus for the frequent traveler. Most importantly, the CoolMax fabric employs four-channel fiber construction to wick moisture away from your skin, so you stay comfortable even if things begin to heat up while sleeping, a welcome feature while flying, camping, and surviving a long layover .

Dimensions: 71 x 55 inches | Packed Dimensions: 6 x 3.5 inches | Weight: 11.3 ounces | Materials: Polyester CoolMax EcoMade

Best Budget

World's best microfleece travel blanket.

Easy to clean

Not as compact when rolled up

The brand name may lean heavily on superlatives, but the World’s Best Cozy Soft Microfleece Blanket boasts a legion of positive reviews. The price certainly helps that rating, but you get a lot of features for such a small price tag. The 50 x 60-inch blanket is constructed of plush polyester fleece knit, which is soft and comfortable against your skin.

It’s not the most compressible travel blanket out there, but at only 14.2 ounces, it should be easy to haul around. It’s also machine wash-friendly and comes in a host of color options, from traditional solids to funky, cool patterns such as polka dots, aqua-blue zig-zags, pink checkerboards, and a cheetah or zebra print—so if you’re en route to an African safari , you’ve got options. 

Dimensions: 60 x 50 inches | Packed Dimensions: Not listed | Weight: 12.2 ounces | Materials: Polyester

Best Ultralight

Matador pocket blanket.

Super compact

Ideal for rugged travelers

Won't hold up to extreme cold

Marketed as an ultralight clean, dry place to sit, the Matador Pocket Blanket doubles as an airplane blanket in a pinch. You’ll certainly want something warmer in colder climates, but the HyperLyte Nylon fabric will add a bit of warmth, with a satin fabric finish to prevent sticking to the skin. And it’s also water- and puncture-resistant.

Folded out, it covers 63 x 44 inches—enough space for two to four adults—and has built-in rust-proof metal corner stakes that also serve as weights. Those stakes, paired with the sand pockets, help tie things down on windy days. The pattern on the unfolded blanket is designed to help you re-fold the blanket and stash it in the integrated carrying pouch.

Admittedly, it won’t deliver the cozy refuge you may desire to fight off aggressive air conditioning, but for outdoor travel activities— music festivals , picnics, camping and backpacking, the beach—it’s perfect. It won’t swallow up much space in your pack (or cargo pocket) and weighs only 3.8 ounces.

Dimensions: 63 x 44 inches | Packed Dimensions: 4.5 x 2.7 x 1.1 inches | Weight: 3.8 ounces | Materials: Nylon with waterproof PU coating

Best for Camping

Rumpl original puffy blanket.

Provides cushioning

Easy to maintain

Slippery against other fabrics

When Rumpl brought the puffy coat craze to blankets, it set off a new gear-centric arms race in outdoor-friendly blankets. And Rumpl still rules the roost. Take the Original Puffy Blanket, which uses the tech materials typically found in sleeping bags and puffy jackets to make a blanket durable enough for extensive outside use and stylish (and comfortable) enough to be used at home.

The exterior is made of weather-resistant 30D ripstop nylon with DWR treatment to shrug off water, dirt, odor, pet hair, and other debris, while the internal baffles utilize synthetic down insulation for warmth and a bit of welcome padding from the hard surfaces of the Earth.

Better still (at least from an aesthetic perspective), the baffle stitching follows a very design-forward approach that takes its inspiration from the graphics of a topographical map. It comes with a stuff sack, and its smallest version (30 x 40 inches) weighs only 2.1 pounds. Sizes vary from a 30 x 40-inch Junior to a two-person blanket that measures a whopping 88 x 84 inches.

Dimensions: 75 x 52 inches | Packed Dimensions: Not listed | Weight: 2 pounds, 1.6 ounces | Materials: 30-denier ripstop polyester shell with synthetic insulation

Best for the Beach

Kammok field blanket.

The Field Blanket from Kammok pulls off the seemingly impossible: it combines the water-resistant protection you need in a beach-ready travel blanket with the plush comfort and warmth of microfleece by backing one side of the banket with a ripstop shell. The insulated main layer is DWR-treated to help repel moisture while warming the weary swimmer—but it’s not too much microfleece and is plenty comfortable on hot days. Modular snaps also let you wear the blanket as a poncho or attach one to another Field Blanket to create a wide carpet of protection from the sand. You can even flip the microfleece-lined stuff sack inside out, push in the blanket, and use it as a pillow. It unfolds into a generous 84 x 50-inch footprint, weighing 2 pounds and 13 ounces.

Dimensions: 84 x 50 inches | Packed Dimensions: 7.9 x 7.9 x 14.5 inches | Weight: 2 pounds, 13 ounces | Materials: Diamond Shell 40D diamond weave ripstop nylon with PU waterproofing (exterior), 100 percent polyester microfleece with DWR waterproofing (interior)

Best for Air Travel

Bluehills premium travel blanket.

Doubles as a pillow

Cozy fabric

Travel-specific features

Carabiner could be sturdier

Although most travel blankets are suited for flying, the BlueHills Premium Soft Travel Blanket takes things further with its included soft carrying case, which also functions as a pillow. Even more, when the blanket is stored in the 11.5 x 10-inch case, its hand luggage belt can attach to a suitcase handle for easy transportation throughout the airport. Its included carabiner backpack clip also allows you to attach it to a backpack, handbag, or any bag. Besides convenience, the travel blanket is made of soft, micro plush fabric to keep you comfy on long flights . It measures 60 x 43 inches when folded, making it perfect as a throw blanket at home.

Dimensions: 60 x 43 inches | Packed Dimensions: 11.5 x 10 inches | Weight: 1.1 pounds | Materials: Not listed

forestfish Fleece Throw Blanket

Easy to transport and stow

With four different patterns to choose from, including floral, plaid, and geometric prints, this fleece throw blanket from Forestfish is a stylish, no-frills option. The 60 x 40-inch blanket is extremely lightweight at 0.68 pounds, making it the perfect companion for the office, car, or anywhere you travel. Made of 100 percent polyester, it's soft and machine washable. Plus, with an included drawstring bag (that's anti-dust and waterproof), this airplane blanket also makes for a great gift.

Dimensions: 60 x 40 inches | Packed Dimensions: Not listed | Weight: 0.68 pounds | Materials: Polyester

Best Cashmere

Sofia cashmere emilia travel set.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Includes other travel accessories

Has specific care requirements

Travelers uninitiated with cashmere may suffer sticker shock when they glimpse at the price of the Sleepy Aero Travel Set from Sofia Cashmere. But—as loyalists to that material will tell you—there’s a good reason to pay a high price for a high-quality product. The brand has been making some of the industry’s finest cashmere for more than 60 years, sourcing its materials from the grasslands of Mongolia and China to craft blankets and other wearables with the softest touch and long fiber lengths to resist piling—so it’s both an investment and a splurge. The 36 x 60-inch blanket in this travel kit comes in a plush Jersey knit and includes a zippered carrying bag and a whimsically-designed eye mask, providing plenty of warmth and comfort while flying. But it is cashmere and thus should be handled with care.

Dimensions: 60 x 36 inches | Packed Dimensions: 10 x 8 inches | Weight: 1.1 pounds | Materials: Cashmere

Best Compact

Rumpl nanoloft travel blanket.

Recycled materials

Practical cape mode

Limited use

Constructed of a 100 percent post-recycled polyester shell and NanoLoft insulation that mimics the warming qualities of down, the Travel Blanket from Rumpl provides a lot of warmth and comfort in a small package. The shell material has been treated with a DWR finish to block stains and water and includes a Cape Clip, which lets you wear your blanket hands-free by attaching twin straps after you’ve wrapped the blanket around your shoulders. It measures 38 x 52 inches, plenty for solo use, and collapses into a travel-friendly 3.5 x 11-inch package weighing only 0.7 pounds. There might be smaller travel blankets available, but the warmth-to-weight ratio of the NanoLoft Travel Blanket justifies the modestly larger size.

Dimensions: 52 x 38 inches | Packed Dimensions: 11 x 3.5 inches | Weight: 0.7 pounds | Materials: 100 percent recycled 30D ripstop polyester fabric, 100 percent recycled synthetic down

Most Comfortable

Cabeau fold ‘n go travel and throw blanket.

Very packable

Limited color options

Most of those provided airline blankets can get scratchy and irritating on the skin. Opt for this super plush Cabeau Fold 'n Go Travel and Throw Blanket for the most comfortable flying experience yet. To get that luxurious feel, this blanket is made from high-quality French microfiber to keep you warm in a cold airplane. It measures 60 x 36 inches for full coverage and folds down to a compact, 12 x 6-inch travel case (included) with a handle that can attach to your luggage. Better yet, the case can be used as a pillow, seat cushion, or back support. Both the case and the airplane blanket are machine washable.

What to Look For in a Travel Blanket

How you plan to use a travel blanket should be your first consideration. If you’re looking for a plush extra layer of warmth while flying, blankets made of microfleece or proprietary materials like Coolmax will suffice. Merino wool or cashmere can make you feel even cozier. But if you’re planning to use the blanket as ground cover, look for travel blankets with waterproof or water-resistant materials and DRW-treated fabrics to help shrug off the elements and resist stains.

Size is also an important consideration. All the blankets in this round-up work for solo adventures, but if you plan on hosting a few fellow travelers at the beach or while picnicking, go for ones with larger footprints. For two people, look for a blanket around 80 inches in length and width.

Nice add-on features like clips or snaps that let you wear the blanket like a poncho increases the product's applications and avoids sagging corners, while others come with stuff sacks with straps and handles so you can clip them onto your luggage rather than sacrificing space inside your carry-on or backpack. Some even come with hoods and neck pillows, making them a welcome blanket/jacket hybrid.

If you are planning on using your blanket while on a plane, store it in your carry-on bag or personal item. If you are not, feel free to pack it in your checked bag. Using a blanket that comes in a carrying case also makes it easy to transport. 

To fold your blanket in a way that optimizes space, start by laying it flat on the floor. Fold the top foot of the blanket under, then without flipping it over, fold the entire blanket in half vertically. After that, fold the blanket equally into three sections. Once complete, flip the blanket over and tuck the edge into the pocket that was created from the first fold. This will keep your blanket compact and in place while traveling. 

Many airlines allow electric blankets onboard planes but double-check the rules before packing. These blankets can be stored in a carry-on or checked bag, depending on when you plan to use them.

Keep reading to learn more about the best travel blankets and learn more about how we evaluate blankets, along with a shopping guide with helpful tips.

We're always impressed by Away's luggage , and the popular travel blanket is no exception. There's no need for a carrying case because the blanket is designed with a built-in carrying strap and folds compactly into itself for easy transport; however, folding it back up after use can be a little difficult. The blanket features three pockets to keep your belongings secure and your feet warm while you wear it (Note — if you're taller, you may not find using the foot pockets to be practical because it will pull the blanket down). One Textiles analyst who has tried this blanket says the material feels smooth and loves that it's made using 37.5 technology, which provides temperature regulation for a super comfortable feel. Plus, it's compatible with the brand's comfy neck pillow — a snap system connects the two together, allowing the blanket to hang from the pillow for hands-free use.

This lightweight travel blanket is a favorite on Amazon with thousands of five-star reviews. And at only $8, it's a total steal! We appreciate how airy the blanket is and how easily it can be rolled into a compact size for packing. Reviewers say it's the perfect size lap blanket to keep in the car or take on a plane, and although it's thin, they love how "warm and toasty" it still is. Because the blanket is so thin, it may not hold up well in the wash; some reviewers experienced fraying hems and pilling.

This plush fleece blanket folds down into a small size for easy travel, and it comes with a carrying pouch made of the same soft material. Plus, when you put the blanket into the carrying case, it doubles as a pillow! Our Lab experts are impressed by the great value of the blanket because, along with being convertible, it's also designed with a strap across the back to slide onto your luggage handle, making it simple to transport around the airport. You have the option to use the carrying strap and included carabiner to connect it to your bag, as well. It's important to note that some reviewers have had issues with the zipper breaking after repeated use.

Rumpl's NanoLoft blankets are made of performance materials that feel silky smooth and warm like a sleeping bag. The brand's latest version, the NanoLoft Flame, is designed with a clip to wear around your neck for hands-free use and flame resistant material on one side, so you won't have to worry about your blanket getting in the way while you're gathered around the campfire. A Lab analyst said she loves the water repellent abilities of the blanket; when she spilled water on the fabric, it rolled right off the surface. She also said the blanket is ultra light and loves how compact it is — it fits perfectly into a carry-on bag but can be difficult to pack back into its carrying pouch after using.

Hopping into a cold car and waiting for it to warm up is miserable, but thanks to Stalwart's heated car blanket, you'll never have to freeze in the car again . This pick warms when plugged into a cigarette lighter, and it has 10,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and is loved by users who say it's great for everything from camping trips to running errands to emergency situations when the heat stops working in your car. The 96-inch cord is long enough for you to move the blanket around the car comfortably, but may not be long enough to extend outside of the car. Even still, the fuzzy fleece material will keep you warm regardless. Textiles analysts recommend using with caution because some reviewers have experienced issues with the blanket wiring overheating and melting the fabric.

If you're looking for a luxurious travel experience from the airport to the resort, Parachute's Merino wool set complete with matching eye mask, carrying case and blanket is the perfect pick to help you achieve just that. The online brand is a favorite of GH analysts who love the brand's percale sheets . Lab pros say that although the set is made of wool, it's not itchy. Merino is a fine wool fiber that actually feels smooth and soft and keeps you extra warm. It is dry clean only, so it's more high maintenance than our other picks, and it's on the pricier end, but the brand offers free returns for up to 60 days so you can send it back if you don't love it.

Bedsure offers quality bedding for an awesome value, including this fleece throw blanket , which our analysts fell in love with after testing it out in Lab, enough so that it won a 2022 Best Bedding Award . The synthetic microfiber fleece material feels so silky and smooth and, according to testers, it's just as soft after being washed. However, some users have experienced shedding with repeated use and after washing. Although it's meant to be a throw blanket, it's thin enough that you can pack it up to take anywhere. And it looks good enough to drape over your couch or bed at home or at your travel destination. You can choose from 26 fashion and neutral colors to match your luggage, and if you want to share the blanket with a travel partner, there are larger sizes available.

For less than $40, you can have everything you need to stay comfortable on your next trip, including a neck pillow, an eye mask, ear plugs and a travel blanket. Our experts love the thoughtful design of each piece — the travel blanket folds into a carrying case for easy transport, the eye mask is contoured to keep pressure off of the eyes and the neck pillow is made of squishy memory foam and has a washable cover. Reviewers love this set for long flights but warn that the dense memory foam pillow takes a while to decompress to its intended shape, so be sure to give it some time to expand before you travel.

Laguna Beach Textile Company Picnic & Outdoor Blanket

If you're planning on a beach trip but aren't planning on splashing around, this beach blanket is great for lounging. We love that it's dual-sided with a soft fleece upper fabric that's comfortable to sit or lie on and a durable waterproof bottom to keep you from getting wet. It rolls into a compact size and fits into a carrying case that you can pack in your beach tote or a carry-on bag. Just note, the fleece is not absorbent, so it won't be helpful with drying off after a swim like a standard beach towel would.

How we choose the best travel blankets

At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our Textiles Lab experts test blankets of all kinds, from duvet inserts to weighted blankets . In our most recent evaluation, we tested over 30 blankets in Lab and with over 75 consumer testers, collecting hundreds of data points for analysis. We used our experiences and expertise from testing blankets to help us choose the best travel blankets specifically, especially considering the materials to make sure we’re recommending comfortable and durable options, along with size and weight to make sure they’re easy to tote.

What to look for when shopping for the best travel blankets

With so many travel blankets to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for one:

✔️ Material: A comfortable material makes for a comfortable blanket. If you're looking for an affordable travel blanket that's lightweight and warm, try fleece or a synthetic microfiber made of polyester. Nylon fabrics are lightweight, durable and smooth, which makes them good for outdoor activities. Merino fibers are warm and soft, not scratchy, but they are on the pricier end. Natural fibers like cotton and linen aren't typically quite as warm but are breathable.

✔️ Size: When it comes to travel blankets, it's important to review listed product dimensions before making a purchase. You want something that's large enough to cover you for warmth but also something that's small enough to pack in your bag (and meet airline weight restrictions if you're flying). Most of our picks are around 50 inches wide and 1 pound.

✔️ Features: Many blankets are designed with extra features. A case or pouch keeps your blanket compact for travel; an attached loop is helpful for carrying the blanket on your trip; snaps or clips at the neck allow you to use the blanket hands-free and added pockets provide space to store your belongings while you're on the go.

✔️ Care: S ome luxurious fabrics and performance materials require more intensive cleaning, and some are even dry clean only. However, if you're planning to use your travel blanket often or get it dirty outdoors, it's good to look for one that's easy to clean and machine washable.

12 Best Travel Blankets for Long Flights and Road Trips

By Lauren Dana Ellman

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Whether flying across the world , road-tripping down the coast , or embarking on a bucket-list train ride , a cozy travel blanket is a must-have for any and all upcoming trips. What’s more, the best travel blankets are designed to keep you warm and comfy while on the go—and there are dozens of options to choose from. To determine which one is best for you, consider your individual needs. For example, if you’re going camping or spending lots of time outdoors, look for one made with durable stain- and water-resistant materials like polyester. Other options—such as super-soft cashmere, breathable cotton, and ultra-warm fleece—abound.

As you shop for travel blankets, you’ll notice that some come as part of a set with a matching pouch and other accessories, while others are sold by themselves. A handful of our selections are designed with versatility in mind, doubling as a scarf , shawl, or cape. There are also plenty of pattern and color options to suit every style. Bonus: Most of our top picks are also machine-washable for easy cleaning.

Without further ado, keep scrolling to discover 12 of the best travel blankets for every type of traveler.

Our top picks:

• The easiest to pack : Gravel Layover travel blanket
• The most versatile: E Marie travel blanket and eye mask
• The best weighted blanket: Bearaby Travel Napper
• The best set: Barefoot Dreams CozyChic travel set
• The best cashmere blanket: Ralph Lauren Cable Cashmere travel set

While Away is best known for its luggage, you won't want to sleep on the brand's travel blanket (pun intended). Made with machine-washable nylon, this blanket is unique in that it offers thermoregulating technology to keep you comfortable at any temp, hot or cold. This travel must-have is designed to fold into itself when not in use, while the antimicrobial finish helps prevent bacteria from growing. Lastly, the kangaroo and foot pockets provide extra storage space and warmth, respectively. And, at just over one pound, this blanket is incredibly lightweight.

Dimensions : 70" x 45"

Barefoot Dreams’ CozyChic travel set features a wearable blanket that takes the form of a super-soft, lightweight wrap made with 100 percent machine-washable polyester. The must-have travel set comes complete with matching socks , a satin eye mask, and a convenient carrying case to help you stay organized while on the go. The best part? The wrap pulls double duty as a scarf.

Dimensions: 31" x 72"

Ralph Lauren’s (very aptly named) Iconic Cable Cashmere travel gift set makes the perfect present for anyone on your list (yourself included!). The three-piece cable-knit set is comprised of an ultra-cozy throw blanket, eye mask, and a zippered storage pouch that’s roomy enough to hold your favorite travel pillow, too. Choose from six timeless neutral hues, including charcoal, navy, and cream, to name a few.

Dimensions: 55" x 32"

There’s lots to love about the Pink Lemonade Love travel throw blanket, which, thanks to its foldable design, is perfect for long plane rides and road trips. When not in use, stash it inside the corresponding zip pouch, which includes a wristlet strap for convenient carrying; alternatively, store it in your checked luggage , weekender bag , or carry-on . The machine-washable travel blanket features an ultra-soft cotton construction and even comes complete with a matching sleep mask : an added bonus in our book.

Dimensions : 60" x 40"

This two-piece travel set from beloved Black-owned brand E Marie includes one of the most versatile blankets on the list, since it also serves as a scarf, shawl, and/or pillow when rolled up. Slip on the matching eye mask to catch some z’s during your next red-eye. (Both items are machine-washable and made with a polyester, rayon, and spandex blend.) Best of all, the set comes in a total of nine color options, from basics like black, beige, and gray to vibrant blue and yellow.

Dimensions : 81" x 36"

Zestt’s organic cotton travel set is made with—you guessed it—organic cotton, which is known for its warmth, durability, and, most importantly, breathability. The blanket also works as a lightweight throw to drape over your shoulders. Post-flight, stick the blanket and matching eye mask inside the included zippered pouch that's conveniently designed to slip right over your luggage handle.

The EverSnug Premium travel blanket pillow is made with 100 percent velvety-soft microplush fabric, meaning it’s both warm and lightweight. The corresponding carrying case functions as a travel pillow, too. The back of the case has a hand luggage sleeve that easily attaches to your suitcase , while the included carabiner allows you to clip it to your backpack , if you prefer.

Dimensions : 68" x 42 inches"

The Rumpl NanoLoft Puffy travel blanket is a favorite of outdoorsy travelers, thanks to its ultra-durable, machine-washable material that is both stain- and water-resistant, making it the perfect camping or glamping accessory. Although it weighs just over 11 ounces, this insulated blanket—which features a recycled polyester shell—is specially designed to keep you warm as it’s filled with a synthetic (and recycled) down alternative. Like other travel blankets on this list, this one can also be worn as a cape. It includes a water-resistant storage sack and comes in three colorful patterns that will delight kids and adults alike.

Dimensions: 52" x 38"

The Bearaby Travel Napper weighted blanket is a must-have for nervous travelers . Available in six-, eight-, and 10-pound varieties, the machine-washable blanket is designed to provide calm and comfort from anywhere. The corresponding duffel bag makes transport a breeze, too. It’s also worth noting that this blanket is constructed with pre-washed organic cotton for supreme softness. While it may not make sense to schlep it on shorter flights, it could be helpful for long-haul flights and is easy enough to throw in the car for road trips. Select from four shades, including blush pink and pale gray.

Weights and dimensions : 6 lbs: 48" x 36" 8 lbs : 60" x 40" 10 lbs : 64" x 40"

Available in five colors, this packable nylon blanket clocks in at less than one pound and is unique in that it offers an insulated core—made of recycled water bottles, no less—to keep you comfortably toasty. There's also a leg pocket and foot pouch to provide full-body warmth. Meanwhile, the outside zipper pouch is ideal for stashing airport any in-flight essentials like headphones and snacks. It's worth noting that this blanket is wearable, too—snap it around your neck, and you'll be all set. Plus, it can even transform into a pillow when not in use (just reverse the zippered pocket and stuff the blanket into itself).

Dimensions : 66" x 40"

Made with machine-washable, uber-warm fleece, this fade-resistant travel blanket was designed with durability in mind, which means it’ll last for seasons on end. Take your pick of eight colorful prints and playful patterns, including paisley and floral. The budget-friendly blanket comes with a matching storage pouch, too.

Dimensions : 60" x 45"

We're rounding out our list of the best travel blankets with this simple option from Appalachian Gear Company. As you can guess by its name, the All-Paca Blanket is made with 100 percent alpaca yarn, which is highly regarded for its warmth and durability. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the machine-washable blanket comes in five colors and patterns.

Dimensions: 66" x 55"

Five Portland-Made Blankets, Reviewed

We made hot toddies, wrapped ourselves up and took some notes.

Home is where your blankets are.

That's especially true in Oregon. It's practically our birthright—Pendleton Woolen Mills isn't just one of the state's foundational companies, it casts a wide shadow over the entire textile industry.

To that end, it'd almost be a dereliction of civic duty to do an issue dedicated to staying home and not review a bunch of locally made blankets. So we rounded up five samples from Portland-based manufacturers, called up some friends, and put the blankets to the test—and by that, we made hot toddies, wrapped ourselves up and took some notes.

Pendleton Yakima Camp Blanket $99.50-$219 pendleton-usa.com

Well, duh, right? What else could we choose here, lest we risk getting exiled from the state? Modeled after the coverings used by the region's early shepherds, Pendleton's best-selling Yakima Camp Blanket is heavy, hearty and seemingly lived in—even a brand-new one feels like it's been in your family for generations. That said, the scratchy skin-feel of virgin wool doesn't agree with everyone. The best use for it is really as a layering blanket above a soft comforter. But if you find yourself stranded on the prairie in the dead of winter, or if the heat just got cut off in your apartment, there's nothing that'll get the feeling back in your limbs quicker.

Tester comment: "It's worth any skin rash that might develop."

Seek & Swoon Envie Throw $170 seekandswoon.com

Seek & Swoon's design credentials precede them—you can find their throws in the rooms of certain boutique hotels around Portland. It's no wonder: These things are gorgeous. Each cotton blanket is inspired by founder Jala Smith-Huys' travels abroad. The Envie, which lines the beds at Jupiter Next, is her "Paris blanket"—the name translates to "desire" in French—and while it's unclear how exactly the design evokes the City of Lights, the geometric melange of black, white and gold patterns is sure attractive.

Tester comments: "Not super soft, but would look gorge on top of a comforter."

House of Castellon Lipstick Check $185 houseofcastellon.com

All cozy blankets are warm, but not all warm blankets are cozy. Sure, those emergency blankets firefighters drape over people after their apartments burst into flames can help keep your core temperature up, but it's not really conducive to curling up on the couch with oolong tea and a Real Housewives marathon. Pulling on one of House of Castellon's throws, though, is like slipping into that baggy sweater you've had since college but never wear outside the house. Made from recycled cotton, the material almost seems to stretch to fit your dimensions, which ensures it'll be staying with you a while.

Tester comments: "Soft and comfy, but pretty thin. Would be good folded over a few times."

Rumpl Nanoloft Puffy Blanket $149 rumpl.com

Rumpl's tagline is "Blankets for Everywhere," but what they really mean is "everywhere outdoors." It looks and feels like a sleeping bag, and slips off easily—there's actually a warning on the tag advising "extreme caution" if using it to swaddle a baby. But its main drawback as a couch blanket is its volume: Shifting around in this thing is like wrestling with one of those compostable chip bags that sound like you're lighting a string of firecrackers every time you reach inside. Insulated with synthetic down, it traps heat effectively, and the standard single-person size weighs less than 2 pounds, making it ideal for carrying on a backpacking trip, but not necessarily for taking a gummy and watching Wild.

Tester comments: "Don't nobody want to cuddle with a sleeping bag. Pretty ombre, though." "How am I supposed to watch Coyote Ugly when I can't hear beyond the rustling?"

Most Cat Approved

Belmont Blanket Hellagood Adventure Blanket $120 belmontblanket.com

Similar to Rumpl, Belmont Blanket's products are designed for "the modern urban adventurer," not so much the modern urban layabout. The Adventure Blanket is certainly practical—the outer face is waterproof, the other side is lined with fleece, and the promotional materials insist you could run it over with a truck without inflicting any damage. But unless your roof  is in serious need of repairs, the tarplike design doesn't translate to the indoors. Our cats, however, might disagree. After our snuggle test, we laid out the five blankets to see what they'd choose, and this is where they both ended up. Makes sense—the plush inner face feels like a particularly smooth animal coat, even though the material is 100 percent vegan. Hey, can't argue with nature.

Tester comments: "This ain't no blanket, it's a Bigfoot merkin." "Maybe a soccer mom knows what to do with this, but I sure don't." "(contented purring)."

The Comfy $44.99 thecomfy.com

The answer to the prompt "a Snuggie, but make it fashion," the Comfy is a wearable blanket disguised as a hooded sweatshirt. Well, barely disguised—the boxy, oversized design isn't what you might call "stylish." Successfully funded into existence via Shark Tank, it sort of looks like you're wearing a skinned Teletubby. While the sherpa lining certainly provides a comforting "return to the womb" feeling, the cuffed sleeves don't leave a lot of breathing room, making it easy to start overheating. It also probably seems too ridiculous to wear outside, but baggy clothes are back in vogue—honestly, it's not hard to imagine Billie Eilish rocking one on the cover of Nylon soon.

We love how soft, lush and cozy the blanket it. It kinda feels velvety and has a soft fuzzy feel.

It is made from a premium micro plush fabric. This polyester travel blanket is a great size, at 65 x 40 inches it making it a great size for traveling.

Andrzej loves pulling blankets up to his chin and as you can see this blanket is a great length for him to do just that!

The other great benefit of the EverSnug travel blanket’s size is that it folds down nice and compact, so it won’t take up too much room in if you pack it in your bag. 

We love that it comes with it own carry case. We typically pop the sleeve over the handle of our carry on luggage.

However, our kids typically travel with backpacks, so for them we simply use the backpack clip to clip it their backpack.

We prefer traveling with the blanket case pulled over the handle of carry-on luggage. If you click it to a backpack it is a bit bouncy with walking (the kids don't seem to mind, but it drives me mental).

Important to note is that the blanket is designed for one person only. I find that it is perfectly designed for plane seats (or train/bus seats) because the width is nice and narrow meaning it won't spill onto your neighbors seat. 

I do wish it was a bit wider - I do prefer the width of the Bluehills blanket (the next one on our list) more.

It’s also machine-washable and fast drying so easy to keep clean.

Not only does the EverSnug keep you warm as a blanket but when folded and in the carry case you can use it as a travel pillow to rest your head!

I wanted to point out that the name is a bit misleading as many people think they will be receiving both a blanket and a pillow, however, it is just one item that can be used as EITHER a blanket OR a pillow.

It is available in black, burgundy, grey, light pink, navy blue and teal. I absolutely love the light pink color but chose to go with navy blue as the light pink would show dirty marks on it pretty quickly.

It is the best  compact travel blanket for airplane use, but is also great for trains as well as cars.

2. BlueHills Premium Soft Travel Blanket Review

What We Love About It: We really love this blanket, it is long enough to pull up to the chin, it's great quality and a nice thickness.

What We Think Could Be Better :  On the photo it looks like it comes with a pillow but it is only a travel blanket, and once folded it can be used as a pillow.

• Size:  65” x 43”
• Fabric:  Polyester

The BlueHills Premium Soft Travel Blanket is a foldable travel blanket that is super soft and comfortable and will keep you warm on your travels no matter where you end up needing to use it.

To be honest, this blanket and the EverSnug one mentioned above are almost exactly the same.

The difference is that this blanket is a touch wider (3" wider) and the feel of the fabric is slightly less velvety in comparison to the one mentioned above.

As you can see the blanket is a nice length stretching from my toes - almost to my bottom lip. Great width too.

Again, just like the blanket we mentioned above, this one is made from a premium soft micro plush material.

This travel blanket will keep you warm and comfortable on planes, trains, busses or anywhere else you find yourself needing an extra layer of comfort and warmth. 

It is machine-washable so it is super easy to clean after it’s been used in all sorts of public places.

This travel blanket with pouch, backpack clip and hand luggage belt is super easy to take on your travels. 

Our favorite way to travel with this travel blanket is to pop the luggage belt over the handle of our carry-on luggage.

It is 60 x 43 inches when opened up so will provide plenty of coverage, but it folds up to a nice compact 11.5 x 10 inches.  

When it’s folded it can even be used as a pillow, or simply pop a jumper or similar in the case and zip it up, to have both a blanket and pillow.

It also only weighs 1.2 pounds so won’t eat into your precious luggage allowance nor will it take up much space in your luggage.  

Soft and compact

Glamamama - written by a walmart customer- read more reviews.

This travel blanket is perfect for short or long haul trips in the car, train or on a plane. It's bright colored so you can always find it.

The material is soft and comfortable. It washes and dries easily. It folds up and zips into its own bag for storage. It even has a little carry strap for the ultimate convenience.

I never use the blankets on the planes because you don't know where they've been or if they've even been washed.

I love having my own blanket so I can be comfortable on any trip.

This is always the first thing that goes by my carry-on when I am packing for a trip!

This is also great to leave in the trunk of your car for emergencies.

This blanket in a bag for travel comes in six different colors (get a different color for each family member) and is a great option for keeping warm whilst traveling.

I really love our BlueHills blanket - it gets good use in our family of 5, both at home as well as during travel days.

3. Layover™ Travel Blanket Review

What We Love About It: I love that I can snap my blanket to my child's blanket and that way we got an extra large blanket to share. I also love that it packs up to your a bit bigger than the size of my fist!

What We Think Could Be Better :   I feel like it would be comfier if it was slightly wider, however if you are sitting next to a stranger on a plane, this size is great.

• Weight: 12.43 ounces
• Size:  72” x 42”
• Fabric:  Microfleece /  Recycled PET Plastic

This Layover blanket is more versatile than others on our list because it is an insulated travel blanket. We find that it is great to use for a flight, a long road trip, a picnic, or camping.

Another thing we love is that this blanket is longer (72") than any of the other blankets on our list (which are mostly around 60" in length). So if you are tall this is the blanket for you!

This blanket is great as it packs up smaller in comparison to the blankets mentioned above. It is also one of the lighter blankets from our list (12.43 ounces).

There are a ton of benefits of this travel blanket - it has a crazy amount of features:

• One of my favorite things about this blanket is that it has a leg pocket and insulated foot pouch. Which means that when I pull it up whilst sleeping it won't accidently uncover my feet! 
• For those traveling with a partner or with kids, you can also snap this blanket to another blanket to make an extra large blanket! Which makes it perfect for camping trips.
• Another advantage of the snaps is that you could actually pop the snaps together behind your neck - meaning the blanket won't slip down whilst you are sleeping.
• There is a lined sleeve for your hands, so it will feel like you are wearing a hoody, so comfy.  
• It stuffs into itself & turns into a pillow! 
• Secure stuff like AirPods, snacks, or a boarding pass with the zippered pocket.

The Layover blanket is machine washable as well. It also packs down super small…easily making it one of our top travel blanket picks.

A Must Have!

Jill w -   read more reviews on gravel.

I am always freezing on flights so when I saw this blanket, I thought I would give it a try, especially based on the reviews I read.

I was not disappointed and just used it on four recent flights.

It’s easy to pack, is lightweight but warm, and I love the foot pockets and neck snap. It allows me to create a cocoon that keeps me nice and toasty!

I am definitely happy with my purchase and plan on taking the Layover Blanket with me on all my trips.

This blanket does come at a premium price in comparison to other blankets on our list, however it is by the far the most versatile, has the most features, is the longest blanket and one of the smallest and most lightweight.

So if travel a lot, this is worth the investment for sure! (Plus they offer a full refund if you aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase!)

4. Proglobe Luxury Travel Blanket and Pillow Set Review

What We Love About It: This is a great way to get all the items you need for a long-haul flight. The blanket is soft and cozy. And the pockets to keep your items if you are traveling solo is handy too.

What We Think Could Be Better :   Unfortunately we found that this is not the most compact issue to travel with. The eye mask didn't make things pitch blank for me and even though the pillow is comfy, it kept moving out of place as you can't secure it in front. 

• Weight: 2.3 Pounds (for the whole set)
• Size: 55 x   39.5"
• Fabric:  Fleece
• I ncludes: Blanket, Memory Foam Pillow, Eye Mask and Ear Plugs

The Proglobe Travel Pillow and Blanket Combo Luxury Set is the ultimate in luxury travel sets. 

It is a 4-in-1 set which includes the super soft polar fleece blanket, an inflatable neck pillow, an eye mask and a pair of ultra-soft earplugs.

The blanket is designed to provide superior warmth and comfort with its luxurious feel. 

The inflatable neck pillow helps you maintain proper posture while sleeping during long flights.

The eye mask helps block out light so you can get a good rest and the earplugs help reduce noise, so you can enjoy more peaceful travel.

This set is perfect for airplane travel as well as car trips, train journeys and bus rides. It’s designed to make your travels more comfortable and enjoyable no matter how long your journey is.

You can fit the blanket and pillow inside the carry bag. The bag has a pocket where you can store the mask and ear plugs.

The carry bag is pretty big due to the memory foam pillow so we suggest that you can clip it to your luggage rather than trying to fit it inside your carry-on.

The fleece blanket is machine-washable for easy care. 

One thing to note is the blanket included in this set is shorter (55") in comparison to other blankets on our list, which are more around 60"+. So this set is not for you if you are tall.

So if you’re looking for the ultimate travel companion, this luxury travel pillow blanket set is the perfect choice! It also makes a great gift for any frequent traveller.

5. PAVILIA Travel Blanket  Review

What We Love About It: I   love the quality and feel of this blanket on my body. It is warm enough without feeling heavy.

What We Think Could Be Better :   This blanket sheds a lot of lint during the first few uses, which can be a bit annoying.

The image is also deceiving because it looks like you will receive a pillow - but you can only use it as a pillow OR a blanket.

• Weight: 1.2 Pounds 
• Size:  60 x 43"
• Fabric:  Fleece / Polyester

This Pavilia travel blanket is a 2-in-1 blanket OR pillow, that offers best possible rest you can while travelling.

The blanket is super compact and won’t take up a lot of room in your luggage, and all up the set weighs only 1.2 lbs.

This blanket is made from a silky-smooth to touch mixture of soft micro-fleece and polyester. 

This PAVILIA blanket is a medium size of 60 x 43 inches so with enough coverage to keep you warm and comfortable without taking up too much unnecessary space. 

It is not the blanket for very tall people. But it is a pretty standard length with a travel blanket.

It’s also machine washable so can easily be cleaned.

Other great features of this travel blanket are the pillow-bag with zipped pocket and fleece on one of the sides so it can double as a pillow if needed.

Perfect for traveling!

Peachy - written by a walmart customer- read more reviews.

I got this PAVILIA travel blanket and pillow for my boys when we travel. I love that this is light weight, yet nice and warm.

This has a very luxurious feel to it, and is just all over excellent quality! ...

However, I do wish this would have came with a little pillow. You have to use either the pillow or the blanket. The blanket goes into the backpack to make it into a pillow.

But, I do love the concept of it and how easy it is for traveling. We have a little pillow that we can take and put in it as well, which works out.

This set is perfect for traveling, either by car, airplane, boat, etc. It's also great for camping as well.

Another thing I like is, you can keep this in the car. It doesn't take up hardly any room since it's altogether and organized.

Lastly, I want to mention this has a buckle attached to it. You can attach this to your luggage, anywhere in the car, etc.

If you're looking for a great quality travel blanket set, this one is excellent! Definitely recommend!

This would also make a great gift for that loved one in your life that travels too.

The carry bag also features an adjustable strap so it can be attached to your luggage for easy carrying.

If you’re after one of the best travel blankets to ensure you you get good sleep whilst you travel, be sure to check out this one by PAVILIA.

6. Cocoon Coolmax Travel Blanket Review

What We Love About It: We love the length of this blanket, which is large enough to cover even taller men. 

What We Think Could Be Better : I think this blanket costs too much money for the quality.

• Weight:  1.2 Pounds 
• Size:  70 x 55"

Coming in a range of great colors, the Cocoon CoolMax travel blanket  is a small, compact and ultralight travel blanket perfect for plane, bus and car travel.

This polyester travel blanket is a great size, at 55 x 70 inches it’s one of the biggest in these reviews. 

Despite the Cocoon Coolmax blanket’s large size, it folds down nice and compact at 5.9 x 3.5 inches, so it won’t take up too much room in your bag. 

It’s also an ultra-light travel blanket - one of the lightest in these reviews and comes with its own stuff-sack.

Made from a mid-weight CoolMax knit, the Coolmax blanket will keep you nice and warm whilst its four channel fibers wick moisture away from your body.

Whilst one of the more expensive travel blankets in these reviews, being one of the largest, softest and lightest blankets in these reviews, you really can’t go wrong if you want a great travel blanket.

7. World’s Best Travel Blanket Review (Cheapest Travel Blanket on the List)

What We Love About It: We love the price   - it is the cheapest on our list. It is also the lightest blanket on our list. It is great if you don't plan on traveling on a regular basis.

What We Think Could Be Better :  I would rather spend more to get a better quality blanket. Also, there is no carry bag so we found that once we popped it in our carry-on, we didn't have enough space for all the rest of our stuff.

• Weight: 0.14 Pounds 
• Size:  60 x 50"
• Fabric:  Microfleece

If you are looking for a great value travel blanket that will tick all the boxes without the hefty price tag, then make sure you have a look at the World’s Best Travel Blanket.

Made from 100% polyester and available in a range of different color options, this microfleece travel blanket will keep you warm on your next travel adventure.

It is super lightweight, so you don’t have to worry about it chewing into much of your baggage allowance.

The blanket itself only weighs 14.2 ounces and when open it measures 50 x 60 inches so will provide plenty of coverage.

This blanket can be both machine washed and placed in the dyer, so you’ll have your blanket cleaned and dried in record time, which is super important while travelling.

Now let's be honest for a second. this is definitely NOT the World's best blanket. I really don't like the feel of the blanket - however it is pretty comparable to airplane blankets.

So if you don't mind the quality of a plane blanket, and your budget is low, then this blanket will work nicely for you.

For me though, I need my blanket to be nice and soft and luxurious in feel, so I'll stick with one of the other blankets from our list.

If you’re after a cheap blanket that ticks all the boxes, then you can’t go past the World’s Best Travel Blanket. 

8. Kululu Poncho Style Travel Blanket   Review

What We Love About It: It is a super comfy poncho. The quality is great too. When the plane is too hot I like using it for a pillow for my lower back.

What We Think Could Be Better : I feel like this blanket is   pretty chunky once it is in the carry case, so not for travelers for try to travel with carry-on only. It also doesn't cover your arms.

• Weight: 1.75 Pounds 
• Size: 62 x 45"

If comfort is something you take very seriously then make sure you check out the Kululu Some ZZZs 4 in 1 poncho style travel blanket.

Not only is this a super soft micro-plush fleece blanket and given its poncho style, this cozy blanket won’t slip off whilst you catch those all-important z’s whilst flying.  

I’m sure it’s happened to you before; you’ve managed to finally get off to sleep on that long-haul flight only to wake up because the blanket’s fallen on the ground and you’re freezing. 

No chance of that happening with this blanket!

There is a front pocket is really handy to pop your hands.

As you can see the blanket doesn't really cover your arms. I really love to have my arms covered as I tend to be cold on a plane.

However Andrzej loves to have his arms out, as his body temperature runs warmer.

He also doesn't typically sleep, so this makes it easy for him to work the remote for the entertainment or to play games on his phone to kill time. It is a great option for those who love to read too.

Important to note that this poncho does not have material on your back. As you can see in the photo on the right, the blanket has a great width.

It is such a soft and luxurious feel and I think that it provides the perfect amount of warmth as it is not too thick.

Another great feature of this blanket is the convenient carrying pouch that has a strap with a snap buckle allowing you to attach it to your suitcase which frees up your hands – a great feature to have while travelling.

Weighing 1.75 pounds and 45 x 62 inches in size, this warm travel blanket takes being comfortable on your travels to the next level.

It might not be the blanket for you if you are worried about space, but we love to pop the strap from the carry case over the handle of our carry-on so that it doesn't have to take up room inside the luggage.

The perfect option for those who like to have their hands free - mother's who need to tend to their babies or kids, travelers who love to read or play games etc.

9. Roamwild Kids Travel Blanket and Pillow for Kids   Review

What We Love About It: I find that the pillow (when provided with one) on a plane often falls off the armrest.   So this is brilliant to protect little heads from sleeping on the hard armrests.

What We Think Could Be Better :   We wish the penguin was thicker and more plush - it doesn't give much protection from the armrest, but our daughter still slept on it without any complaints.

• Weight: 0.66 Pounds 
• Size:  33 x 23"

If you’re looking for a good children’s travel blanket, consider the super cute Roamwild travel blanket and pillow set for kids.

With the penguin design on this kids travel pillow and blanket set, the little one’s will be super keen to go to sleep on your next flight.

Simply place the armrest buddy around the armrest of their chair and the kids have a nice soft place to put their head.

When not in use on the armrest it doubles as a cute and cuddly comforter.

The blanket itself is 33.5 x 23.5 inches so will provide plenty of coverage and the set only weighs 10.6 ounces so it is light enough that your child can carry it themselves.

Plus, the whole set is machine washable (phew we know how messy kids can be), so you can easily keep it clean.   

This kids travel blanket pillow set is a great little travel buddy that will keep your child warm during travel and hopefully encourage some sleep on your next family travel adventure.

10. Travelrest Travel Blanket: 4 in 1 Travel Blanket Review

What We Love About It: We love that you can wear this blanket, which means arms are free to eat or read a book (something I love to do on a plane).

What We Think Could Be Better :     It's tricky to refold and get into the bag when you have limited space on a plane.

• Weight: 1.25 Pounds 
• Size:  72 x 38"
• Fabric: Fleece

With its poncho style, the Travelrest travel blanket will stay in place all night to keep you cosy and warm whether you’re traveling by plane, bus or car.

This ultra-plush 4 in 1 travel blanket is made from a plush coral fleece so feels lovely and soft to touch.

Not only is it super soft and comfortable, you can wear it as a poncho so it won’t slip down when you nod off to sleep and the huge amount of coverage will keep you warm.

This blanket can also be used as a pillow for your head or neck or as a lumbar support.

When the blanket is opened up it measures 36 x 60 inches offering plenty of coverage and when it is folded up into the integrated pouch it measures a tiny 10 x 13 inches – a perfect sized pillow.

The pouch also doubles as a pocket that can zip closed to keep valuable items safe inside and it has a strap that gives you the option of clipping it onto your suitcase or backpack.

This travel blanket is also machine washable so easy to keep clean whilst traveling.

If you’re after a travel blanket that does it all - keeps you warm and doubles as a pillow and lumbar support, then consider the Travelrest travel blanket.

11. Cloudz Travel Blanket Review

What We Love About It: I like that this   blanket is so light and I do like the cheaper price point of this blanket. It is also a great size!

What We Think Could Be Better : In my opinion this blanket is really just   a cut of fabric - I find that it is very similar in quality to economy blankets on planes (so not the best quality). 

• Weight: 0.55 Pounds 

The Cloudz Travel Blanket is not only one of the lightest travel blankets in these reviews, but it is also one of the cheapest.

This lightweight warm travel blanket is made from 100% polyester and is available in 7 different color options so each member of the family can have their own easily identifiable blanket.

It is machine washable so very easy to keep clean – which is very important with travel blankets.

When the blanket is opened up it measures 50 x 60 inches so will provide plenty of warmth and coverage. Many of the blankets on our list is only around 43" in width, so I love that this blanket is a bit wider.

Despite its great coverage, when it’s rolled up it measures a tiny 9 x 5 inches so it will take up hardly any space in your suitcase or travel backpack.

It also only weighs 8.8 ounces and fits into the included carry straps so it is easy to transport.

In my honest opinion, I'm not a big fan of the feel of the fabric. It really feels like felt. It is pretty thin. It reminds me of the blankets you get on planes.

If you’re just after one of the cheap travel blankets that is lightweight (and you don't mind the fact that it is not the best feel blanket) then the Cloudz travel blanket is worth considering.

12. Matador Pocket Blanket Review

What We Love About It: This pocket blanket folds so small that it ends up being similar to the size of my iPhone.

What We Think Could Be Better :   I wouldn't personally use this blanket for sleeping on a plane as it is not soft and cozy. It is great for outdoors travel though.

• Weight:  0.55 Pounds 
• Size:  63 x 44"
• Fabric: Nylon

The Matador Pocket Blanket is a great blanket for outdoors adventures and travel.

This ultra-lightweight and compact blanket is perfect for keeping you warm during long flights, road trips, and train rides—or just a quick picnic.

The Matador Pocket Blanket is made from a durable, ripstop nylon fabric and is waterproof, windproof, and sand proof.

It comes with an included stuff sack for easy storage and transport when not in use.

Once opened, it measures 63" X 44" giving you plenty of room to spread out and keep warm on your travels.

A Must Have Item

Mark - written by a matador customer.

I highly recommend this product for anyone who spends time outdoors.

The design and quality is outstanding, and there are so many uses for this product that it is simply indispensable (I've used it as a blanket, rain gear cover, car seat cover, etc.).

Whether you are an avid camper/hiker/outdoor person or a casual walker, this is a perfect item to own.

I have the smaller size for personal use, which I also love, but the larger version is ideal for 2 or 3 people.

I would suggest ordering both sizes.

The blanket also features four sand pockets and built-in ground stakes, so you can easily attach it to the ground or other objects in case of windy conditions.

Additionally, its ultra-lightweight construction weighs only 3.4 ounces for ultimate portability.

Whether you’re traveling by air, land, or sea—the Matador Pocket Blanket is an excellent choice for keeping you warm and comfortable on the go.

Its durable construction, convenient portable design, and ample size make it one of the best portable blankets in 2024. 

13. Cabeau Fold ‘N Go Travel Blanket Review

I recently purchased the Cabeau Fold 'N Go Travel Blanket, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my travels.

Not only is it incredibly soft and cozy, but it can also be used as a lumbar support cushion, a pillow, and it even folds down into a compact travel case.

With its 36" W x 60" L size and French microfiber material, you'll get all the warmth and comfort of your favorite blanket without having to lug it around with you.

Plus, when I'm done using it, I can just fold it down into its convenient travel case (which measures only 12" x 7" x 4") and attach it to my bag or luggage. 

And the best part is, it's machine washable!

Must have travel accessory!

Kimberlee - written by a cabeau customer- read more reviews.

If you are going to only take 1 comfort item with you when you travel then this is it!

It can be a blanket, pillow or lumbar support and it is so SOFT!

I just purchased this blanket and can't imagine traveling with anything else.

I LOVE this blanket!

So, if you're looking for a cozy and versatile travel accessory, look no further than the Cabeau Fold 'N Go Travel Blanket.

It'll make your travels so much easier and more comfortable!

Why You Should Buy a Packable Travel Blanket?

No doubt you own a few different blankets at home already, so you’re probably wondering if you really need to purchase a blanket specifically for travel.

Plus, you don’t want to drag around a travel throw blanket with you if it’s not really necessary. 

A travel size blanket, opposed to your standard everyday blanket, is designed to be compact and lightweight so you can easily pop them in your backpack or suitcase.

If you tried putting a standard blanket in your backpack there would be no room for anything else!

But why bring a warm travel blanket with you at all on your travels?

Well here are a few reasons we think travel blankets are a great idea:

1. If you’re traveling via a budget airline, chances are you won’t be given a plane blanket during your flight.

Sure, you can usually buy a flight blanket onboard - but they cost a small fortune and you could have bought your own air travel blanket to keep forever at that price.

2. Sometimes flights or even buses get delayed and you find yourself stuck for hours in a cold depot, having an emergency travel blanket on hand keeps you warm whilst you have to wait.

3. If you stay in budget accommodation, sometimes they just don’t supply enough blankets, having your own small lightweight travel blanket on hand ensure you get a great night’s sleep.

Why We Started Traveling with Travel Blankets

Do you have time for a personal story? We wanted to share why we personally started to start traveling with our own travel blankets.

As family travel bloggers we travel a lot. On our last trip alone (we visited multiple countries over 3 months), we went on 13 flights. Some of which were budget overnight flights.

We quickly learnt over the years that some airport layovers can be freezing cold. I will never forget spending a 5-hour layover in Singapore overnight where I forgot to pack a jumper and for the life of me I couldn't get warm. It was a long (and cold) 5 hours!).

I would have done anything for a nice blanket so that I could get a few hours of sleep instead of shivering away.

Of course, they are perfect for budget flights, because budget flights don't provide blankets or pillows. 

But we also prefer our own blankets on full-service planes because I got sick of scratchy blankets and sometimes they didn't seem as clean as I wanted.

Not only can a travel blanket but helpful for cold airports, but it also makes a great pillow in warm ones.

We also often throw out our blankets on the floor, so that the kids can sleep on top of it (rather than the yucky airport floors) to get some sleep on layovers.

So yes they are incredibly helpful for layovers, planes, trains and more, but let's look at other places that we have come to love our blankets.

I absolutely love to snuggle up under a blanket on a couch whilst watching a movie with my husband and so few apartment rentals or hotels actually give you a throw blanket (and when you do find one it is often so dusty). So now I can with my own cozy blanket.

We have used our blanket whilst enjoying some wine and checking out the views from our patio on a cool night. So helpful when the temperature is cooler.

They are also great for spontaneous picnics whilst traveling, or just to pop down at the park and watch the kids play.

Not even to mention that when you have kids, travel blankets are just so useful for things like car trips.

We even use them whilst at home, because we share care with my ex-husband who lives 2 hours away and the kids love using the blankets for the trip (plus they pack up small so easy to store in the car).

Things to Consider When Purchasing a Small Travel Blanket

When it comes to buying a small lightweight blanket for travel, consider the following factors:

When it comes to fabric used to make travel blankets, there are generally three different materials used - polyester, fleece and down. 

Each have their own benefits when it comes to a small lightweight blanket.

Polyester: Polyester is the most common material used in travel blankets as it is reasonably inexpensive, lightweight and durable.

In some blankets the polyester is blended with other materials like nylon.

Fleece:  A fleece travel blanket is made with a type of polyester and is fairly common when it comes to a plush travel blanket.

This is my preferred type of fabric for a travel blanket, as it feels extra soft, plush and cozy.  

Down:   A packable down travel blanket tends to be more expensive as down has a fantastic warmth to weight ratio - basically it means they can be super lightweight and compact whilst still being super warm.

2. Comfort: 

Of course, the best travel blanket for plane or other travel is one that is going to keep you snuggly and warm. That’s the whole point of it right?

So, you want to look for a nap travel blanket that feels nice and soft to touch and isn’t going to be scratchy on your body.

A fluffy and soft travel blanket will help to ensure you not only stay warm but that you have a great night’s sleep.

It is also important to get one that is warm enough - too often I find that the blankets on the plane are just too thin and don't make me warm enough (often I have had to ask the flight attendant for an extra blanket just so I could be warm enough).

What size light travel blanket you purchase really depends on the size of the person you are purchasing it for.

For me, the perfect airplane blanket size is one that covers me from my feet right up to my neck.

However, you also don’t want a super large travel blanket that is big and bulky when folded up. The last thing you want (for those flying solo) is for your blanket to be so big that it ends up on your neighbors seat!

Bit blankets are also tricky to fold up in the small area of a plane.

So, whilst you want to ensure your travel wrap blanket covers you perfectly, you also want to ensure it’s compact enough that you can easily put it in the bottom of your backpack or suitcase without taking up much space.

For your convenience I’ve included the size of all the blankets in these reviews in the table above.

Similar to how compact your blanket it is, you also don’t want one too heavy that it’s going to eat into your luggage allowance.

This is really important as no doubt you will be wanting to take it onboard the aircraft with you and as you know airlines are getting really strict about the weight of your carry-on luggage.

The good news is, the best airplane blanket options are super light and weigh next to nothing.

For your convenience I’ve included the weight of all the blankets in these reviews in the table above.

4. Portability

Some travel blankets have some great ways for you to carry it with you.

Some you quite simply stuff in a sack, whilst others have built in carry bags and others have carabiners or straps that allow you to latch it onto your suitcase or backpack.

Carrying all your stuff around with you as you travel can be a real pain, especially if you’re traveling with kids - so I highly recommend you consider how you store and transport your travel blanket when deciding which one to buy.

5. Ease of Cleaning

I recommend you get one that is machine washable! And make sure you wash it before you fly (otherwise you might end up with lint all over your clothes).

Your travel blanket is going to be in all sorts of places. Airplanes, bus depots, maybe even on the floor if your flight is delayed overnight and you need to rest!

So, your blanket is going to get all sorts of dirty and you don’t want to have to send it off for dry cleaning all the time.

I’d also look for one that is quick drying as when you are traveling sometimes you don’t have the luxury of letting items dry for a full day.

In fact, sometimes you need to let items dry in your hotel room, so a blanket that is quick drying is super handy.

And lastly, whilst the soft light color blankets might be beautiful think about how quickly they will show the dirt from being used in not-so-clean locations, I recommend you get a dark colored blanket.

Answers to FAQ's:

Here is answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

1. Can you travel with a blanket on a plane?

Yes you can! You can check a travel blanket into your checked luggage or even carry it onto the plane with you.

When you carry a jacket or any other clothing item onto the plane they are considered to be personal items, and so are travel blankets.

They should not count as a carry-on item (like laptop bag, handbag and carry on suitcase).

Which is why we prefer the blankets that have a handle that can slip over the handle of a carry on suitcase, or has a backpack clip that you can clip to your backpack, rather than having to squeeze it into the suitcase.

We do recommend that you check with the airline you are traveling with as they may have their own guidelines and restrictions.

2. What size is a travel blanket?

In general travel blankets tend to be smaller, more compact and lightweight compared to traditional blankets that you may have at home.

The largest travel blanket that we have found is 72 x 42 inches providing maximum coverage.

The smallest travel blanket we have found is 33 x 23 inches so depending on what comfort you want for traveling you may find this too small.

At the end of the day, the size and weight of the blanket will be determined by the coverage you wish to have whilst traveling.

3. Are airline blankets washed?

It has been claimed that many airlines do not wash and disinfect the blankets and in some instances, unless there are clear visible stains, they are merely repackaged in plastic unwashed - the plastic just fools us into thinking that we are being offered a clean blanket.

A flight attendant from Southwest said that the blankets are only washed for the first flight of the day, after which they are simply refolded and repackaged. You can read more about that here.

Now, it is hard to know what is true but to ensure that you have a clean blanket that does not have any previous passengers' substances on, we recommend taking your own travel blanket.

4. What kind of blankets do airlines use?

Most airlines use the same type of blankets that are made from a spun polyester material called fleece. 

Compared to travel blankets that you can buy to take on a plane with you, these blankets do not provide much coverage and warmth as they are generally thin and small in size.

Plus, who knows where that blanket has been. Do you really want to pull a plane blanket up to your chin when the previous person potentially sneezed, coughed or farted on it? 

Verdict on Our Pick of the Best Travel Blankets

With so many choices, finding the best travel blanket for travel whether by air, car or train seems like an impossible task, but it all depends on your style, preference, needs, and budget.

If you want a travel blanket that gives more coverage when using, you may want to buy a blanket that is larger in size.

In this case, the Cocoon CoolMax travel blanket  could be right for you.

But if you like to travel light then a travel blanket that folds up small and compact that does not take up much packing space might be the better choice.

You should look at travel blankets that fold into a carry case or can be attached to your luggage, such as the EverSnug Travel Blanket .

We hope this article has helped you set your priorities and decide on the best travel blanket for flying. Have a safe and comfortable trip.

Traveling is an exciting and fun way to go on adventures. However, it’s nice to also ensure you have comfort while away from home. That’s why travel blankets can be so essential. They help you curate a cozy travel experience so you can rest and relax while on the go.

Making sure you get the perfect blanket for your travel needs takes more than just picking an option randomly. A lot of little characteristic changes could affect how useful a blanket is to you. Here are a few things to consider.

The first thing you should consider when purchasing a travel blanket is its size. You will typically want a large enough blanket to cover you but not take up a lot of space in your bag or mode of transportation.

Travel blankets can come in a range of sizes, so it’s important that you take into consideration how much room you’ll generally have while traveling. For example, planes have less space than cars might. It’s also important to consider your height so you can search for appropriate blanket options.

A blanket’s material might also affect whether or not it’s a good option for your needs. There are numerous blanket materials, but some common options are:

• Fleece: These tend to be warmer.
• Cotton: These tend to be more breathable and thinner.
• Bamboo Fiber Blend: These tend to be softer

Depending on what you’re looking for in a blanket, warmth, coziness, or just a little comfort can change your ideal material.

Bottom Line: Consider what travel issues you want to resolve so that you can narrow down your blanket search options by fabric.

Type of Travel

The type of travel you’ll be doing is also an important factor to consider when in the market for a travel blanket.

Different modes of transportation offer different amounts of space and levels of familiarity. For example, going on a road trip in your own car will likely allow you more space and freedom than flying in coach.

While it’s impossible to predict every trip you’ll ever go on, it’s useful to consider your most often used modes of transportation. That way, you can pick a blanket that suits that situation.

It may seem strange, but you should also consider how much a blanket weighs before purchasing one.

A heavier blanket will add extra weight to your luggage. If you’re busy running around an airport or train station, you likely want to be as unencumbered as possible. That means minimizing the weight you’re carrying.

Some airlines also have weight restrictions on carry-on or personal items. A heavy blanket might mean sacrificing other items you want to pack. However, a heavier blanket will usually be warmer and can, at times, be more relaxing.

You’ll also want to consider how durable a blanket is when trying to decide which option is right for you. You likely won’t want a blanket that will fall apart after being washed a handful of times, for example. Traveling can put a lot of wear and tear on your items that they wouldn’t normally suffer.

You’ll want to look for materials that can be cleaned and are rip-resistant, and possibly stain-resistant. That way, you can help guarantee that your blanket will be useful for many trips, not just 1 or 2.

Hot Tip: Consider one of our recommendations for the best travel neck pillow to accompany your travel blanket!

15 Best Travel Blankets for Any Adventure

If you are anything like me, you love the comfort and security of having your favorite blanket when you travel. When we are away from home it is hard to find that same comfort.

Travel blankets offer a little bit of home, whether you are flying across the world or camping in your own backyard.

For some people, a regular throw or small blanket may work perfectly fine. Frequent travelers may find that these traditional blankets are bulky, making them hard to pack or carry with you.

But what is a travel blanket exactly? In this article, I will explain this as well as share some tips for choosing the best travel blanket to fit your individual needs. I will review some of the top travel blankets on the market, including the pros and cons of each one.

If you are searching for the perfect travel blanket, I hope this post will help you to learn everything you need before you buy.

What to Look for in a Travel Blanket

Let me take a moment to cover the basics of travel blankets. These blankets come in many sizes and fabrics. Some have added features and benefits that may work better for some travelers than others.

Here is a short rundown of what to look for while you are shopping.

What is a travel blanket?

Travel blankets are specially designed to be lightweight and portable. Made from a variety of different fabrics, travel blankets provide a little extra warmth when you most need it.

Many travel blankets have pockets or carrying cases allowing the blanket to double as a pillow when you don’t need to keep warm.

The exact features and options will depend on the blanket you choose. Don’t worry though, I will supply you with all the best features to make that decision easier.

How to choose the best travel blanket?

There is no travel blanket that is perfect for every person. You must consider how you plan on using your travel blanket before deciding. 

If you are a frequent flyer , then you are probably going to want a lightweight packable blanket that has some type of case or pocket to make it easier to carry. 

On the other hand, if you use your travel blanket while camping you are likely going to need a blanket with a bit more weight to keep you warmer on those cold nights.

Allergy sufferers will want to pay close attention to the material that the travel blankets.

Many travel blankets are made with synthetic materials that may hold allergens. Natural fibers such as cotton and bamboo provide a more breathable fabric that will not trap allergens.

Bamboo fibers have the added bonus of repelling odors as well as bacteria and other pollutants.

Important features of travel blankets.

Here are some features that you may want to consider:

Travel blankets are available in many different sizes. Think about how you plan to use the blanket. 

I like larger blankets so I can be covered from my neck down and tuck in around my feet. If you prefer a lap blanket, then a smaller sized blanket may suit your needs. 

A travel blanket’s weight depends on the fabric and any lining it may have.

When it comes to paying by the weight of your luggage, you will probably want to make sure your travel blanket does not add extra cost to your travels. 

Luckily, travel blanket manufacturers understand this is an important design feature and there are many blankets that offer plenty of warmth without the extra weight.

#3 Portability

Let's face it, if it is not easy to carry the travel blanket, I’m just going to take my favorite blanket from home. Many travel blankets are designed to be packable and compact, fitting easily into luggage, carry-on, or even a purse or backpack .

The blankets that airlines have provided in the past are a far cry from soft and comfy. I want a blanket that is super soft, so I can snuggle up and catch a few zzz’s whether I am on a long car ride or in an airplane. 

Others may prefer a blanket that offers a smoother texture and cooling softness. The texture of a travel blanket should be carefully considered for the best travel experience.

#5 Washable

Unfortunately, we cannot always just toss a travel blanket in our suitcase and forget it is there, especially between trips. 

The blanket will need washing. I always make sure to check that there are no special cleaning instructions, but then again, I am a lazy launderer.

Ideas for How to Use a Travel Blanket

A travel blanket can be extremely useful even when you are not traveling. Here are a few surprising ways I have seen people use a travel blanket:

• Cart cover – shopping cart handles can be gross. Grab a lightweight and compact travel blanket to take with you to the grocery store. You can avoid the sanitizing wipes that dry out your hands.
• Picnic – spread a travel blanket and head to the nearest park and have lunch while relaxing on your blanket.
• Shade – many travel blankets are lightweight enough they can be held up easily for instant shade in a pinch.
• Poncho – some travel blankets are water resistant, making them a great rain cover when a spring storm pops up out of nowhere.
• Car seat cover – new moms and dads know the constant struggle that bulky car seat cover can be. Use a lightweight travel blanket to cover the little one and protect them from the sun or wind.
• Build a Fort – many kids love to build forts out of blankets and chairs, or whatever else they can find. Having a travel blanket handy will prevent them from pulling all the blankets off the beds. This is also a great option when staying in a hotel or other place away from home. Give your kiddo their own private space.

The 15 Best Travel Blankets
