This Secret Code Gets You the Viral Lola Blanket for $100+ Off
The ever-so-cozy Lola Blanket is a viral hit among celebrities ( Selena Gomez wrote her vows on one , it was on Oprah's Favorite Things list, and Bethenny Frankel has one in every room ). But it's also a hit in my house, where it gets fought over every time we have movie night.
We test bedding constantly at Good Housekeeping , and when we hear about a brand this much and notice a product in every post on our social feeds, we have to try it out for ourselves. Spoiler alert: we loved the luxurious blanket—so much that we got an exclusive discount code for GH readers.
Good Housekeeping readers can save 35% on Lola Blankets, that's $114 off the large size, using code GoodHousekeeping35 at checkout.
What are Lola Blankets?
Lola Blankets are super plush faux-fur blankets. They're made with a blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, making them feel silky and unbelievably soft. The Original blankets are available in four sizes:
-
Baby : 30" x 36"
-
Medium : 50" x 60"
-
Large : 60" x 72"
-
The Lola XL : 80" x 90"

The brand also offers weighted blankets, which were the choice featured on Oprah's Favorite Things, and they're available in four sizes and weights:
Lola Blankets Wild Moss (Weighted)
Lola Blankets Oat (Weighted)
Lola Blankets Surfside (Weighted)
We tested both blankets in size Large and think this is the best size for two people to share.
The blankets are available in an awesome range of colors and patterns, from classic neutral shades to bright solids and fun patterns like animal prints and checks. While most faux-fur blankets only have a few color choices, Lola Blankets has over 50 options, so you can definitely find a style that suits your home.
First impressions of Lola Blankets
The company sent one Original blanket and a weighted version to test. When I first unwrapped the blankets, I understood why they have so many fans. Lola Blankets are incredibly soft and plush with a slight bubble texture that looks greatwhen imperfectly strewn across my sofa.
They're cozy to snuggle up with, but don't feel too hot or heavy like other faux-fur blankets I've tried before.
The weighted blanket in size Large offers just 10 pounds of gentle pressure. I usually feel claustrophobic with weighted blankets, but I found this lighter weight style soothing and extremely comfortable. Weighted blankets are notorious for being difficult to move around and lack a stylish look, so this is a good pick for someone looking for a less cumbersome option that offers a bit of pressure to encourage relaxation.
How to wash a Lola Blanket
Lola Blankets are machine washable, which will come in handy, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
-
Wash in cold waterwith liquid detergent, no heat, and no fabric softener.
-
Wash aloneas shedding may occur. (Notably, the blanket didn't shed during everyday use, like on the couch.)
-
Hang to dry.While the care tag leaves some room for interpretation, the brand's website offers more specific guidance: "Hang to dry. Briefly tumble dry on the 'air' setting to restore fluffiness." One of our editors accidentally tumble dried hers on a heat setting, which affected the blanket's plush texture. The takeaway: Let the blanket air-dry first, and only use the air setting afterward if you want to fluff it back up.
Are Lola Blankets worth it?
Lola Blankets are our favorite compared to the other faux-fur blankets we've tried because they are unbelievably soft, feature a stylish textured look, and aren't too heavy or constricting.
All that said, they are pricey: $325 for a blanket big enough for two people is expensive. However, the blankets regularly go on sale—and we have a special code that GH readers can use to save 35%.
Some online reviewers complained that they are pricey for a synthetic material. But, no natural material (except real fur) will feel as soft and plush as these synthetic options. If you want a super soft blanket, a synthetic one is likely your best bet. Cotton blankets can still be soft, but they won't be as soft and plush as a synthetic alternative.
The weighted style is innovative and unique compared to what is currently available on the market. If you are willing to spend the money, we think Lola Blankets will become your new favorite blanket or make a generous gift( teens love them!).
