Wool Blankets - wool blanket, wool blankets
These have been a family favorite for years. Only problem is that they really do not make a blanket for a double bed. The 4 point is for a twin and the 6 point is for a queen. If you have a double, go with the 6 point for good "coverage." Hudson Bay Blankets - Queen Size 6 Point Wool Blanket
I bought one of these at "The Bay" store in Victoria, B.C. and wrestled it home on the plane as carry-on baggage. We live in a climate that is cool all summer and mild all winter, so we use our blanket almost all year around, usually over a set of flannel sheets. In the winter we warm the bed with a heated mattress pad and top it with a comforter. It's so comfy and there's not a lot of heavy weight, as we use no other blanket.
Yes, it's a bit expensive, but will last for decades, so consider it an investment in your health. You need your rest! Other blankets won't keep you warm, and will wear out within your lifetime. This one is an heirloom. We have no heirs so I'm wondering who to leave it to in my will. Amazon's price, by the way, is quite good for this particular blanket. If you need to give a wedding gift within this price range, a Hudson Bay blanket would be ideal. Highly recommended.
I couldn't believe I was spending this kind of money on a blanket, but I was looking for something special - and found it. Softer than you'd expect for 100 percent wool. Dreamy to sleep under, and I can tell it will last for generations. A great item, and I might just order a few more. - Wool Blankets - Wool Blanket - Woolrich'
