Wrapped Up Like a Burrito: How to Choose the Perfect Tortilla Blanket

When you wrap yourself like a human burrito you have to do it right, Tortilla blankets are useful practical and gift worthy not just a novelty Here’s how to choose a tortilla blanket that is more than just a joke.

To begin size does matter. If it’s for a child a blanket that is 50 inches works well for snuggling on the couch. If it is it for a teen or smaller sized adult a size 60 inch will be better. If you want the full burrito experience go for a size that is 71 to 80 inches so that most adults can be wrapped completely without leaving cold feet sticking out.

For the next step you need to check the fabric. Most tortilla blankets are made with a flannel fleece. Sherpa is a type of fleece that is also very warm so if you are a cold person and if you plan to use the burrito blanket during winter then look for a version that is lined with Sherpa. In a product description for the burrito blanket look for how much the fabric weighs. If you want the blanket for travel a thinner fabric will be better while a fabric with a thicker fleece will be good for taking movies.

The finer details is print quality. A high-quality print with a realistic tortilla design will be a game changer. Look for vibrant colors that will be evenly distributed and clean stitching. If the design looks blurry get ready for a worse experience in person.

Don’t forget about the care instructions Look for blankets that are machine washable in cold water and can tumble dried on low. Washing on gentle will avoid pilling and keep your tortilla looking fresh instead of faded.

The last thing to consider is the purpose. Is it a gag gift” A dorm room essential” “A comfy couch buddy” Make sure the size plushness and overall sturdiness suits the intended purpose.

If you get the details right you will not just get a joke blanket. You will get the most comfortable burrito blanket in the whole house.
