A great blanket is the foundation of any little space. It’s the thing you reach for first, the thing that makes everything feel safer and softer. But not all blankets are created equal — and with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know to find your perfect little space blanket.
Sherpa vs. Minky: What’s the Difference?
The two most popular blanket materials in the little space community are sherpa and minky — and they feel very different.
- Sherpa blankets have a fluffy, wool-like texture on one side and a smooth backing on the other. They’re warm, cozy, and great for colder months or anyone who loves that wrapped-in-a-cloud feeling.
- Minky blankets are made from ultra-soft polyester with a velvety, plush surface. They’re lighter than sherpa but incredibly soft — perfect for year-round use or warmer climates.
If you can only choose one, minky is the more versatile option. If you want maximum warmth and coziness, go sherpa.
What Size Should You Get?
Blanket size depends on how you plan to use it:
- Throw size (50–60”): Perfect for snuggling on the couch, draping over your bed, or carrying around as a security blanket.
- Full/Queen size: Better for covering your whole bed or sharing with a partner.
Most little space blankets are throw-sized — they’re easier to carry, easier to wash, and feel more personal.

Security Blankets: A Special Category
For many littles, a blanket isn’t just decorative — it’s a comfort object. If you’re looking for a security blanket, prioritize:

- A size you can carry — smaller throws are easier to bring with you
- A print that makes you happy — because you’ll be looking at it a lot

How to Care for Your Little Space Blanket
To keep your blanket soft and cozy for as long as possible:
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry
- Avoid fabric softener — it can reduce the plushness of minky over time
- Wash separately from items with zippers or velcro that could snag the fabric
