Few experiences beat the luxury of snuggling up on your couch or bed to relax and recover from a long day (or to take advantage of a well-deserved lazy one) — and we know just the all-season blanket to do it with every time: The dreamy, ultra-snuggly cotton muslin blankets on Amazon for under $20 if you’re fast enough to snatch one. A dead ringer for much-loved pricier options from West Elm, Quince and Brooklinen at a fraction of the price, these lightweight blankets are super snuggly without adding too much heat, making them a solid summer option. And today, select colors and sizes are discounted — with the best deals being on the grey and teal options at 33% off and the mint at 27% off.
In fact, if you’ve ever looked at an infant blanket or swaddle and thought, “I wish they made that in my size,” you’re in luck. This is what Refinery29 once dubbed “the adult baby blanket.”
It comes in 10 stunning colors and sizes ranging from twin to king — including the classic throw size of 75 inches by 55 inches (with or without tassels) and an 80-inch queen size. Any combination will look amazing draped over a chair or couch, and feel great whether you’re taking a midday nap or want something to wrap around your shoulders on a cool morning.
The four-layer versions weigh less than 2 pounds and are easy to fold up, making them the perfect thing to take on planes and trains or to the beach or park. One reviewer, Jenn McWhiz, notes that it’s the “only cooling blanket I can use in the summer! Used for over a year and it still looks new. Washes well and stays soft!” Gotta love that!
These machine-washable blankets have also earned a 4.6-star rating from Amazon reviewers; you can read what some of them have to say below, or just go ahead and nab one for your home, apartment, or dorm room, stat.

“Just buy it, even buy 2. I did haha. This is the best blanket ever, so light but still cozy. Perfect weight and so very soft. Perfect for the summer and for spring and autumn too. Great for hot sleepers and if you get hot flashes. Both my parents and my best friend have bought one as well from my recommendation. I bought the twin size one, wash in cool water and hang dry. I’ve had them for well over a year now and still in amazing shape. Buy the blanket, you’re welcome.” — Kindle Customer
“Exactly what i was looking for to replace my thick comforter!! It’s light and thin, perfect for the summer. but the fabric is just dense enough to keep you warm. great size and color, and feels like real cotton. i’ve only just started using it so not sure about how its quality holds up over time. but as of right now, i really like it!!” — Aurora Maeve
“I purchased this because I get over heated easily but like to have something covering me. I liked this blanket. The color is nice and the quality is pretty good. Perfect size and is soft. I haven’t washed it yet but it seems like it would hold up.” — Owl Lady
“Absolutely LOVE it! Answer to my prayers! I moved to FL to help my elderly mother who is always cold so keeps AC at 77° resulting my room is being around 79°. I CAN NOT sleep that hot! I also cannot sleep without something over my lower half. Polyester was killing me, even just a sheet was hot. I ordered a blanket and a throw and these are my salvation! So soft and comfy and not too hot. My dog lays on my bed, don’t notice her hair at all. No pilling after washing. Been using them for a while now and couldn’t be happier. I run the fan at night and a light breeze comes right through the blanket or throw. PERFECT!! Afer washing, did not shrink. Couldn’t recomment these more. I’m SO happy with this purchase.” — Laura Pender
