best overall dupe
MH MYLUNE HOME Ultra Soft Micro Plush White Grey Leopard Blanket
Pros
Warm but breathable
Patterned on both sides
Machine washable
Comes in 4 colors, while the original currently only sells 2
Cons
A few reviewers mention the blanket sheds
TBH, most Barefoot Dreams merch leans pretty quiet luxury and coastal grandma, but not their animal print bestseller, which everyone from the Kardashians to Hailey Bieber have been spotted (heh) toting around! This dupe sports the same bold pattern and is also the same material as the original. While this throw isn't quite as large as the BD version, it's still plenty big to wrap yourself up in for a Netflix binge sesh. If that won't cut it, though, there's also a larger version.
THE REVIEWS: "I have at least 10 barefoot dreams blankets that I paid $145 dollars each or more for. This blanket is exactly the same! I wish it came in more colors and designs but I’m definitely getting these for now on. I can’t believe the price on this...You will love these."

Pottery Barn Cozy Ribbed Throw Blanket
Pros
Fabric meets the OEKO-TEX standard, meaning it's been tested for 1,000+ harmful substances
Machine washable
Cons
On the smaller side
Barefoot Dreams' ribbed throw is 80% Nylon, 20% Rayon, while this is 100% polyester
Those of us with white or cream couches and rugs (c'est moi!) know that neutrals don't have to be boring—they're classics for a reason, amirite? One way to keep them from being boring, though, is adding a lil pop of texture into the mix. This ribbed throw (that's a dead ringer for the BD ribbed version) would def do the trick! Not only is it supposed to be fluffy and light as hell, but it is also made so the blanket's color won't fade over time and washes. Win, win!

best knit dupe
Crafted by Catherine Knit Throw Blanket
Pros
Reviewers say it's the perfect weight
Did I mention snuggly?
Comes wrapped in a bow, makes a great gift
Washes well
Ribbed design on both sides
Cons
A liiiittle on the higher end, price-wise, for a dupe
Soft? Check. Stretchy? Check. Snuggly? Check, check, check. Reviewers love the quality of this bad boy, as well as the more spring and summer-y hues. Personally, I'm swooning a little over the lilac.
THE REVIEWS: "We love this blanket. We bought two. Lilac and blue and both are beautiful muted shades with just enough color. They are as soft as our classic Barefoot Dreams blankets, and the most recent BFD we purchased wasn't nearly as soft as it had been in the past, so we went looking for a replacement. This is a purchase I would gift without question and one I have shared with my friends. Never write reviews. It's just that nice."

softest dupe
PAVILIA Plush Knit Throw Blanket
Pros
Super soft (duh!)
Cons
Too thin for some reviewers
May I present to you another solid CozyChic dupe? This one comes in a bunch of colors, but the navy and the light blue are so California coast rich mom aesthetic, don't you think? The bigger size is great for both a bed or couch rot session.
THE REVIEWS: "This thing is INCREDIBLE! Barefoot dreams dupe. And under $40 for a TWIN SIZE BLANKET!! OMG! it’s so so so so soft and plush. And I’m a hard one to please when it comes to softness. I’ve felt a lot of BFD “dupes” that aren’t really that soft. This one is!!! ... If you’re on the fence- JUST BUY IT! 😍🖤🤍"

best washable dupe
Better Homes & Gardens Cozy Knit Throw Blanket
Pros
Reviewers say it's not too heavy, not too lightweight
Low price
Holds up well
Cons
Reviewers say your friends, fam, pets, etc., may want to steal this from you because it's so cozy...consider yourself warned!
Another option for the leopard lovers out there! This is a steal price-wise and reviewers rave about it, saying it has all the qualities you're looking for in a BD dupe: warm, thick, floofy, and washes well.
THE REVIEWS: "LOVE this blanket! I have a real Barefoot dreams blanket and several dupes and this is the one I continuously reach for. It holds up well to washing and has remained so soft and cozy. I have ordered several as gifts - can't say enough about it!"

best viral dupe
Member's Mark Soft Textured Throw
Pros
Super low price
Reviewers say it's stretchy, in a good way!
They also love the weave that makes it warm and breathable at the same time
Cons
A bit more of a boucle texture than the BD
Go all the way off, Sam's Club! Like, who knew?! Um, that would be the TikTok girlies, actually. They love that it's super plush, warm, and lightweight. It's also pretty big, so if you wanted to snuggle up with someone else, there's plenty to go around. Or you know, keep it all for yourself if you can't bare to share!
THE REVIEWS: "So soft and so comfortable! Honestly can’t believe the quality for this price. I just ordered another!"

best baby blanket dupe
Saranoni Bamboni Mini Blanket
Pros
Comes in a bunch of sweet colors
Designed for sensitive skin
Stretchy
Some reviewers say their babies can't sleep without them :')
Cons
A good deal smaller than the BD ones
Too cute for their own good??
If you've recently been going to lots of baby showers, put this one on their list even if it didn't make the registry—it's adorable! Plus, it's half the price of the Barefoot Dreams baby blanket and that's a big win since we all know how those weddings and bebe gifts add up! And FWIW, I'm betting fur babies would love this mini BD dupe too, just sayin'.
THE REVIEWS: "Saranoni Mini Blankets are a happy repeat from me for new mamas and baby shower gifts; and I have received endless compliments on the “…perfect size”. Keep these Minis comin’ Saranoni!"

best dupe for gifts
JOOJA Knit Throw Blanket
Pros
Stretchy
Tons of color options
Cons
Some reviewers say it's too lightweight for their taste
Remember when I said most Barefoot Dreams blankets lean quiet luxury? This dupe of the original Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw nails it with the ribbed edges and cute bow packaging, and you'll def be yapping in your group chat about how soft and fluffy it is. Plus, unlike the CozyChic, it comes in three sizes, so you can get the one that's juuuust right for your little cat naps (see: Goldilocks)!
THE REVIEWS: "I am obsessed with the quality of this blanket. It’s so soft!!! It honestly feels just like a Barefoot Dreams blanket (which I also own). Because it comes wrapped in ribbon it’s also my favorite blanket to give for gifts. Just make sure you order in advance bc it ships shrinkwrapped and you’ll want a day or two to let it fluff back up outside of the packaging."

best colorful dupe
Urban Outfitters Checkerboard Super Plush Throw Blanket
Pros
Vibrant colors
Cons
On the smaller side
Sheds before first wash
Pattern is only on one side
Okay, so you love the Barefoot Dreams vibe but are a girlie who loves a pop of color. I got you! This throw has color AND texture, just like the BD checkered one. Forget what the people said, you really can have it all, girls.
THE REVIEWS: "I'm actually obsessed with this throw blanket! It's the perfect weight/thickness. Keeps you warm but doesn't get you all hot and sweaty. So incredibly soft...So trendy and minimalist!"

best mohair dupe
Lulu and Georgia Mosser Throw
Pros
Hand-crafted!
Pattern and design is on both sides
Cons
Can't throw in the wash—spot clean only
Okay, so here's another that's not an exact dupe, but it's so good. The mohair texture leans more wool than BD's polyester microfiber, but it's still super-soft and perfect for warm cuddles while bingeing Netflix.

best waffle knit dupe
Sijo Home Eucalyptus Throw Blanket
Pros
Moisture wicking so won't get sweaty!
7-day trial!
Cons
Some reviews mention it's small and a bit narrow
Sijo Home has some of the best cooling sheets on the market, so you know their throw blankets are fire too. This one is pretty different, but if you want to get as close as you can get to Barefoot Dreams' Diamond Weave blanket in texture alone, you absolutely can't go wrong with this bad boy. It's breathable and soft without being too suffocating, so it's great for winter-time snuggs!
THE REVIEWS: "Love the soft feel of this blanket. I like how the waffle style looks and feels. Perfect size for a throw blanket on the couch that keeps me warm in the winter."
