What size throw do I need?

130×170cm suits an armchair or one person on the sofa; 150×200cm covers a double bed's top; 250cm+ bedspreads drape a king. Listings state dimensions — we surface them where given.

Wool, cotton or fleece?

Wool insulates even when damp and lasts decades; cotton is breathable and machine-friendly; fleece is the cheapest and lightest but pills with heavy use. Weighted throws are about pressure, not warmth — check the weight suits the user.
