The short answer: softness depends on what you mean
If you want the plushest, most cloud-like feel, the Luxplush Striped Blanket is your pick: its plush flannel fleece layer is described as cloud-like and becomes even softer after the first wash. If you prefer a thicker, warmer blanket with a tactile 3D bubble texture, the Bubble Sherpa Fleece Blanket delivers double-layer warmth with a flannel and sherpa fleece combination. Neither is objectively 'softer'—they offer different kinds of softness.
Softness and texture: plush flannel vs sherpa bubbles
The Luxplush uses a GentleSoftTM plush flannel fleece that is lightweight and airy. The Bubble Sherpa pairs 320gsm flannel with 220gsm sherpa fleece, creating a thick, fluffy feel with a raised bubble design. If you like smooth, velvety softness, go with the Luxplush. If you prefer a textured, cozy loft that traps warmth, the Bubble Sherpa is the better match.
- Luxplush Striped Blanket: 100% polyester plush flannel fleece; described as cloud-like and becomes softer after washing.
- Bubble Sherpa Fleece Blanket: Polyester blend with 320gsm flannel and 220gsm sherpa fleece; features a 3D bubble texture.
Warmth and weight: which blanket suits your space
The Bubble Sherpa is the warmer option thanks to its double-layer construction and sherpa fleece, which locks in heat quickly—ideal for chilly nights or drafty rooms. The Luxplush is lightweight and versatile, making it a better choice for layering on a sofa, using as a travel throw, or adding a light extra layer on a bed. Consider where you'll use it most: the Bubble Sherpa for deep winter warmth, the Luxplush for year-round coziness.
