This is basically bedcovering basics.
* Blankets are sized to drop over the sides and bottom end of the mattress, extending slightly beyond the mattress depth. With mattresses getting deeper, you'll need to check a blanket's measurements to make sure it is large enough to tuck in around your particular mattress.
* Here are several blanket types and their characteristics:
* Cotton (honeycomb, herringbone, or waffle weave) is a good choice for a light blanket that's placed between the top sheet and the comforter.
* Quilted cotton and matelasse fabrics are often used in bed coverlets that combine the dressiness of a bedspread with the practicality of a top blanket. This cotton fabric bedding usually can be laundered in cool water; some shrinkage is possible.
* Cotton fleece provides medium warmth and is machine-washable.
* Wool is quite warm and is either dry-cleanable or cold-water washable. The fabric is extremely durable as well.
* Wool-silk blends provide warmth without weight. These silky soft blankets are usually dry-cleaned.
* Acrylics, as warm or warmer than wool, are machine-washable.
* Blankets covers are versatile and can serve as lightweight blankets on their own, or can be used on top of a heavier blanket.
* See the following page for more on electric blankets.
