Choosing a Blanket Size — M or L? How to Choose Based on Usage
The simplest way to choose the right blanket size is to decide where and how you want to use it. We've put together a guide to help you choose the right size for your needs, such as a compact M size for draping over a sofa, or a generous L size for spreading across a bed.
Reasons why choosing a size is confusing
Have you ever wondered "which size should I get?" when buying a blanket?
Too small and it's not enough, too big and it's unwieldy.
But actually, if you're clear about how you'll use it, choosing isn't that difficult.
How to use M (130×160cm)
For draping over a sofa or as a lap blanket
If you're draping it over the back of a 2-3 seater sofa, the M size is just the right balance.
It's not too big, and the pattern is clearly visible.
When used as a lap blanket, the M size is ample enough to cover from your waist to your feet. At about 1kg, it's also light, making it easy to carry from the sofa to the living room, or to the bed.
For wall hanging
The M size (130×160cm) is also just the right size for a wall tapestry.
It has more presence than a typical art poster, yet it doesn't overwhelm the wall.
It fits well in limited spaces, such as a studio apartment or a bedroom wall.

For outdoor use
If you're taking it to a picnic or for cherry blossom viewing, the compact M size is easy to handle.
At about 1kg, it won't be bulky even when put in a special bag.
How to use L (160×200cm)
Bed foot throw
If you're spreading it horizontally at the foot of your bed, the L size is recommended.
With a width of 160cm, it can accommodate semi-double to double beds.
Layering it over your duvet adds visual depth and instantly tidies up your bed area.
For larger sofas
For sofas with three or more seats, or L-shaped sofas, the L size's presence is a great match.
Even just draping it over one side, rather than covering the entire sofa, is enough to create an accent.
For two people
If two people are sharing it while sitting on a sofa, the L size offers more room.
With a length of 200cm, it can comfortably cover the laps of two people.
For large wall display
When you want to make an impact on a large wall, such as the main wall in your living room, the L size is perfect.
It has a scale that allows it to be the centerpiece of the wall all on its own.

If you're unsure, try thinking like this
If you're still unsure, you might consider it this way:
- "Where will I mostly use it?" → M if mainly for the sofa, L if mainly for the bed
- "Will I mainly display it or use it?" → M if displaying (easier to handle), L if using (more spacious)
- "Will I use it alone or with someone else?" → M if alone, L if with someone else
There's no right answer, so choose the one that best suits your lifestyle.
