They rarely ever do sales
Bigger bee for the couch and travel
Mega bee for the bed
Cozy bee to wear

What are you looking for?

I have a swaddle bee and a bunch of cheaper throws from target or home goods (all $25 or under). Really don’t get the whole swaddle bee hype. They’re maybe slightly softer for longer?

I’ve had one of mine for 3 years. No other soft blanket has lasted as long.

Can you post link? People say this all the time but I have yet to find one. I've tried numerous soft blankets and they all pill, shed, or get harder. And when I ask for links noone posts.

Can’t post a link because I’ve bought the ones I’m happy with irl (target or home goods). The home goods ones in particular are lasting as long as my swaddle bee (at a fraction of the price). I like to be able to feel them in real life before I buy them and then try to buy a brand I’m familiar with (ie ralph lauren). So far I’ve been very happy with them (again, primarily the ones from home goods)

I got one at Kohl's 15 years ago(!!) and it's still going strong. I don't known the brand, but I'd think as long as the seams are swen well, it'll hold up fine. Costco has some yummy looking throws & with their return policy, you can't go wrong.

They’re comfy but if you don’t have extra money, there’s no reason to get it. I rarely use mine, it’s not fuzzy and warm enough for my liking.

I got a cozy blanket at Burlington that I like way better than my swaddlebee. It’s bigger, fuzzier and costed a quarter of the price. Got it in store so no link.

I recommend you go to some stores, Burlington, Home Goods like someone suggested above, Target and find a cozy blanket you love.

I have very soft and cozy ones from Homegoods. 4 years and going strong. I don't wash them often though, only when a sick kid uses it.

She got it as a gift from a sibling of mine. It was 4 years ago.
