What "mink" means

A mink blanket in India has nothing to do with the animal. It is a thick, very soft polyester (acrylic or polyester microfibre) blanket with a raised, plush pile, mostly made in Panipat, Haryana. The name describes the feel.

1-ply vs 2-ply

• 1-ply: a single layer, roughly 1.5-2.5 kg for a double bed. Warm enough for a closed room in most of India, easy to fold and carry.
• 2-ply: two layers bonded together, roughly 3-5 kg for a double bed. Much warmer, heavier, and the one to buy for Punjab, Haryana, Delhi NCR, UP, Bihar or Rajasthan winters.

Weight is a more honest warmth guide than the word "ply": a heavier blanket of the same size has more fibre.

Size guide

• Single: about 60 x 90 inch.
• Double: about 85 x 90 inch to 90 x 100 inch. For two adults, prefer the larger size.

1. Raymond Home Mink Blanket

Price: roughly ₹2,500-5,000

Raymond Home blankets have dense pile and consistent finishing, and owner reviews mention that they shed less fibre in the first wash than cheaper unbranded ones. A good pick if you want one blanket to last five or more winters.

2. Bombay Dyeing Mink Blanket

Price: roughly ₹2,000-4,500

Similar quality to Raymond, often at a slightly lower price, with more print choices including floral and embossed designs. Check whether the listing is single or double and 1-ply or 2-ply, since the range covers all four.

3. Panipat-made 2-ply blankets from marketplace brands

Price: roughly ₹1,500-3,000

Many sellers on Amazon offer heavy 2-ply blankets straight from Panipat mills. They can be excellent value, but quality varies. Buy one with a stated weight in kg, many recent reviews with photos, and an easy return policy.

4. Lightweight 1-ply mink blankets

Price: roughly ₹1,000-2,000

For milder winters or as an extra layer over a comforter, a 1-ply blanket is lighter, easier to wash, and still much warmer than a regular fleece throw.

Washing and care

• Use a duvet cover or a cotton sheet on top so you wash the blanket only once or twice a season.
• If washing, use cold water and a gentle cycle. A 2-ply double blanket needs an 8 kg or larger washing machine, or a laundry service.
• Dry in shade, spread out flat or over two lines, so the weight does not stretch it.
• Brush the pile gently once dry to bring back the softness.

Common mistakes

• Buying a "double" that is too small. Some double blankets are only 80 inches wide. Check the dimensions.
• Ignoring weight. A 2-ply blanket under 2.5 kg for a double bed is likely thin.
• Expecting cotton breathability. Mink blankets are polyester. Warm sleepers should pair a lighter blanket with a cotton sheet.

Recommendation

• Coldest north Indian homes: a 2-ply Raymond Home or Bombay Dyeing double, 3.5 kg or heavier.
• Best value: a well-reviewed Panipat 2-ply blanket with a stated weight.
• Mild winters or layering: a 1-ply single or double.
