Sherpa Fleece Blanket 200 x 230cm - Oversized Plush Throw for Beds and Sofas

There is a specific kind of comfort in a blanket big enough that nobody has to share badly. At 200 x 230cm, this Sherpa Fleece Blanket covers a bed properly or drapes over a full sofa with room to spare — which means no more tug-of-war at 10pm. The plush sherpa fleece face is deep and soft rather than thin and slippery, so it traps warmth against you during Nairobi's cold months while staying light enough that it never feels heavy or sweaty. Layer it over a duvet in July and August, throw it over the sofa for film nights, keep one in the guest room, or fold it into the car for upcountry travel. It folds down small for storage and comes in white, blue, green and yellow, so it works as a decor layer as much as a warmth layer.

Specifications

Buying guide

Blanket shopping goes wrong in two places: size and pile depth. A 150 x 200cm throw looks fine folded on a sofa but stops being useful the moment two people want it or you try to cover a double bed — this one is 200 x 230cm, which is genuinely bed-sized. Pile depth is the other half. Thin polyester fleece feels soft in the shop and flattens within a month; sherpa has a deeper, denser face that keeps its loft and traps more air, which is what actually keeps you warm. Pick a colour by how you plan to use it: white and beige read as bedding and layer invisibly over a duvet, while blue, green and yellow work better as a deliberate accent on a sofa or armchair. If you are buying for the cold season specifically, pair it with a warm duvet set rather than replacing one — a blanket layered over a duvet traps far more warmth than either alone. Wash on a cool cycle and skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibres and flattens the pile.

How it compares

Against a standard polyester fleece throw, sherpa is noticeably deeper and warmer and holds its texture far longer before flattening. Compared with a knitted throw, this is the warmer and more practical of the two — a knitted blanket has an open weave that looks beautiful on a chair but lets air through, while sherpa fleece blocks it. Against a duvet, this is the more flexible buy: it layers on top when the nights turn cold, moves to the sofa in the evening, and packs into a car for travel, none of which a duvet does well. The trade-off is that a blanket does not replace proper bedding, so if your bed is under-dressed for the cold season, start with a duvet set and add this on top.

Frequently asked questions

Is it big enough for a double bed?
Yes — at 200 x 230cm it covers a double or queen bed with overhang on both sides, and it is generous enough on a sofa for two people without anyone losing out.

Will the plush texture flatten after washing?
Sherpa fleece holds its loft far better than thin polyester fleece. Wash on a cool cycle and avoid fabric softener, which coats the fibres and mats the pile, and it will stay plush.

Is it too warm to use outside the cold season?
No. It is plush but lightweight, so it works as a light layer or sofa throw year-round and as a proper warmth layer over a duvet during the cold months.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes — same-day delivery within Nairobi and countrywide shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and beyond, with payment by M-Pesa or on delivery.
