Three years ago, I was on the search for an affordable throw blanket for my first college apartment. I knew I wanted a blanket wide and long enough to cover my legs and arms without having to adjust it all the time.

After scrolling through hundreds of throw blankets on Amazon and reading several reviews, I finally found the perfect dual-sided shag and sherpa blanket that matched my room's aesthetic. You can choose from four different sizes and over 40 color options, with certain colors and sizes costing more or less than others. I chose the 65-by-50-inch throw blanket in brown, and it's the perfect size, easily covering two people.

I received the The Connecticut Home Company faux fur blanket and was impressed. The blanket's reversible design of sherpa on one side and a shag faux fur material on the other not only provided me with extra warmth but was the perfect decor addition to my bedroom. My roommates would come into my room and naturally gravitate toward the blanket and rave about how comfortable it was.

The following year, I decided to purchase a second one for our living room. Guests would come over and compliment how nice and luxurious it made our sofa look.

This warm and cozy blanket was such a household favorite I was confident enough to make my third purchase and gift it to my mom for her birthday. She is the ultimate blanket lover, so I knew this would make the perfect gift. To this day, the blanket makes its way from her bedroom to being nicely tossed over the living room couch.

The Connecticut Home Company's Shag and Sherpa Blanket is high quality, ultra soft, affordable and comes in an array of colors and sizes. I've had my first blanket for three years and washed it several times, and it's still in excellent condition.

The blanket's reversible design adds texture and a decorative touch to my bed and sofa. It's perfect for home decor and warmth, especially during those cold months.
