Why we love this deal

No matter how many winters you experience, the cold each year always seems to come as a shock. And while fluffy bedding, heavy sweaters, and cranking the heat up on high can certainly help quell the inevitable chill, a thick, quality blanket is always a good addition to the essentials that keep you cozy when the weather is anything but. A lightweight knit might do you good most of the year, but when temperatures dip to the 20s, you want a thick, heavy throw that keeps you insulated and warm. And while these plush blankets lined with fleece and fur often can be expensive, thanks to great sales like the latest one at Macy's, you can get exactly what you want for way less. 

The Hotel Collection Lynx Faux Fur Throw is 70% off as part of a final sale item at Macy's right now. That means you can get the luxurious $250 blanket for just $75.

Why do shoppers love it?

Not all blankets are created equal. Depending on what they're made with, a lot of them might keep you warm, but they feel scratchy and itchy on the skin — which almost makes you want to get rid of them entirely. This throw is anything but. Made with acrylic, modacrylic, and polyester, this blanket doesn't have the benefit of being made from 100% cotton, but that fabric blend is often used as a wool substitute and is still very soft, warm, and lightweight. It also has the added benefit of being super durable, so the blanket itself will hold up even after lots and lots of use. 

Plus, there's even more luxury to look forward to thanks to the faux-fur lining on one side of the blanket that adds even more softness and gives it a velvety, silky feel. The faux-fur also gives the blanket an extra touch of glam that makes it look absolutely gorgeous when it's thrown over the back of a sofa waiting to be used. The blanket measures 50 inches by 60 inches, so you can easily cover yourself up — no small areas to leave exposed to the cold. Its large size makes it great to sleep with as an added layer on top up or underneath the comforter, since it will cover most of the body when reclined.

This Macy's exclusive is well-reviewed by shoppers, who say it's luxurious, beautiful, and well-made. It's super soft, and while it keeps you super warm during those colder temperatures, it's still just as enjoyable to curl up with any other season or time of the year. Shoppers love the weight and feel of the throw, and one shopper even said it's "something you won't want to put away."
