I have this blanket and one of the 10'x10' ones from Big Blanket co that cost $150. The material is very different and the $150 blanket just feels more premium. It isn't any warmer though nor any more comfortable. Not worth the premium, so if you're just looking for a big ass blanket for movie nights, get this. I bought 4 for gifts down the road. People love these things so much.
Ah yes the 0rgy blanket

How thick is this? How do people launder a blanket of this girth?
I just ordered one the other day and it came yesterday (paid $17). It is definitely thinner but very soft. Washed it in the washing machine with no problem. For the price order 2 if you want something thicker.

Im not going to downvote you because it's a matter of opinion, but there is a definite difference in the heat and quality between the two. I have one of each. These cheap ones are great for couches/camping/etc.
There is a huge weight difference between the 2 which is part of the cost factor. I will probably snag a couple more because they are cheap and if they get dirty/shredded camping or from pets, im not out much compared to my big blanket.

These fit in a regular washing machine by itself.
The biggest issue is that getting them dry because they tend to fold up in the dryer and stay that way. Need to cycle through or pull out and readjust during dry cycles.

Do you have the stretch or the Sherpa? I have the stretch. I have no doubt there's a quality difference...as I said, the Big Blanket Co one feels more premium. I don't think it feels any warmer but I'm not testing these in anything other than climate controlled rooms.
The Big Blanket Co also has about 10sq ft more material. Out of nothing but curiosity, I weighed them both. The Big Blanket Co weighs 148oz at 100sq ft. The Costco blanket weighs 128oz at 90sq ft. So, the weight difference of the material is pretty negligible at 1.48oz/sq ft vs 1.42oz/sq ft.
Yes, the $150 blanket is stretchy, heavier, feels more premium, and its footprint is also a lot smaller.
I'd still take these for $10 over a Big Blanket Co one even if it were half off, maybe with the exception of special holiday prints.

It's not about the need. It's about the comfort.
