Bed Cover or Blanket? Get one that does both.
Blanket or Bed Cover? Do you need one? Or both? What’s even the difference? When it comes to bedding, the options are endless. Bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows, blankets or bed covers — it can feel a little like a minefield. If you’ve ever wondered if you need a blanket and a bed cover, you’re not alone. Maybe a spoiler alert, but you don’t need to buy two separate products to get a blanket and a bed cover. In fact, we’ve designed one that works as both. So what’s the catch? Let’s tuck in to the details.
Bed Cover: The aesthetic overachiever
Bed covers really have one primary function — looking sleek on your bed. They’re typically lightweight and designed to sit on top of your quilt. Bed covers scream bed styling expert, you’ll have your friends admiring your bed look everytime.
Why love them?
• They’re an effortless styling piece for your bedroom.
• A protective shield for your main bedding against life’s little (hello, coffee spill).
• Often breathable, so they can double as an extra layer when it’s a chilly night.
Blanket: The cosy companion
A blanket is your bedtime bestie — soft, comforting, and always there for you (even on those couch-nap days). Unlike a bed cover, a blanket doesn’t care how polished your room looks. It’s there to keep you cosy.
Why love them?
• Unapologetically cosy and perfect for snuggling.
• Travels easily from bed to couch, or wherever you choose to snooze.
• Always ready to lend to a guest or keep you company on movie night.
Looking for one that does both?
The real answer to the bed cover vs blanket debate lies in what you plan to do with it. But why choose when you can get a multi-tasker that does it all? Enter: Rory Washed Cotton Blankets, and everything you can do with them.
1. Add a decorative layer over the bed
Want a chic, magazine-ready bedroom but don’t want to fuss with 15 pillows and a valance? A stylish, lightweight blanket that doubles as a bed cover is your MVP. Our Rory blankets also come with matching pillowcases for a true bed cover look.
2. Swap out your quilt during hot nights
When summer rolls around and your quilt starts feeling like a sauna, use a breathable Rory blanket. It’ll keep you comfortable without sacrificing style.
3. Bring it to the couch or lend it to guests
Whether it’s time to binge Netflix or the ‘oops, I didn’t bring a sleeping bag’ guest, a Rory blanket works perfectly off-duty as a cosy, shareable option.
Let’s not complicate things. Bedding should make life simpler, cosier, and a little more stylish. Call it a blanket or a bed cover, the real winner is you covering both bases (literally).
