The Threshold brand, exclusive to Target, has solidified its reputation as a powerhouse for affordable, high-quality home textiles, and its blanket and throw collections for late 2024 continue this trend with a blend of luxurious textures and practical designs. As of December 2025, the newest arrivals are setting the standard for cozy home decor, featuring everything from viral faux fur styles that mimic $300 designer throws to innovative weighted options designed for ultimate relaxation. This comprehensive guide breaks down the must-have styles, materials, and essential care tips you need to know before your next Target run.
Threshold's enduring popularity lies in its ability to deliver premium looks—think chunky knits, rich textures, and designer collaborations—at a fraction of the cost of high-end home goods stores. Whether you're looking to refresh your living room, add a cozy layer to your bedding, or find the perfect calming weighted blanket, the current collection offers exceptional value without compromising on style or comfort.
The 2024 Collection: New Styles and Designer Collaborations
The latest drop of Threshold blankets and throws is heavily influenced by current interior design trends, focusing on tactile fabrics, natural color palettes, and elevated patterns. The brand’s most sought-after pieces often come from its ongoing, highly successful collaboration.
Threshold Designed with Studio McGee
The collaboration with Studio McGee consistently introduces some of the most elevated and stylish pieces in the Threshold line. For late 2024, the focus is on warm, sophisticated textures and holiday-ready patterns that transition well into the winter season. These pieces are crucial for adding a high-end, designer touch to your home decor without the hefty price tag.
- Knit Fair Isle Throw Blanket: A standout piece in the 2024 Christmas Collection, this throw features a classic Fair Isle pattern in colors like Green/Cream. It’s a perfect example of a seasonal item that offers a cozy, nostalgic aesthetic.
- Reversible Knit Geo Throw Blanket: Available in neutral and ivory tones, this throw features a modern geometric pattern. Its reversible nature provides two distinct looks, making it a versatile piece for any living space or bedroom.
- Knit Scalloped Edge Throw Blanket: This design adds a subtle, delicate detail with a scalloped edge, often seen in richer seasonal colors like Red, making it an excellent accent piece for the colder months.
The Viral Faux Fur Phenomenon: Ruched and Plush
The Threshold Faux Fur throws remain a perennial best-seller, often going viral for their incredible softness and elevated look. The Ruched Faux Fur Throw Blanket is particularly famous, frequently compared to styles from high-end retailers like Pottery Barn and Lola Blankets that cost ten times as much.
Its "faux rabbit fur" construction and ruched detailing give it a luxurious texture and depth. It’s an exceptionally plush midweight throw that provides significant warmth and an immediate visual upgrade to a sofa or armchair. Prices for this popular 50"x60" throw generally hover around the $25–$30 mark, making it one of the best value luxury items in the home decor market.
A Deep Dive into Threshold's Best-Selling Materials and Types
Threshold leverages a variety of high-quality materials to cater to different needs, from anxiety relief to lightweight layering. Understanding the material is key to choosing the right blanket for your specific comfort and style requirements.
1. Weighted Blankets for Calming Comfort
Threshold’s line of weighted blankets is a popular choice for those seeking a calming, therapeutic effect. These blankets are designed to provide deep touch pressure stimulation, which can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
- Construction and Weight: Threshold weighted blankets are typically filled with either glass beads or microbeads, which provide the necessary pressure. They are available in various weights, commonly including 15lbs and 18lbs, to suit different body weights.
- Fabric Options: The outer covers come in ultra-soft materials like Microplush, Faux Fur, and soft knits, often with a removable cover for easy cleaning.
2. The Versatility of Sherpa and Plush Throws
Sherpa and plush throws are the epitome of cozy comfort, especially for chilly evenings. Threshold offers these in a range of colors and patterns, often combining them for maximum warmth.
- Plush Reversed to Sherpa: This is a common and highly functional design. One side features a smooth, soft plush, while the reverse side has a textured, fuzzy Sherpa fleece, providing a comforting, high-pile warmth.
- Sherpa Reversible Throw Sets: These sets often feature faux shearling and polyester materials, designed to be machine washable for easy care, making them practical for daily use on a couch or bed.
3. Elevated Natural and Knit Fibers
For a lighter feel or a more structured look, Threshold offers excellent options in natural and knit fibers, often carrying the important STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certification, which ensures the textiles are free from harmful levels of over 100 substances.
- Oversized Cotton Woven Bed Blanket: Made from 100% lightweight cotton, these blankets are perfect for layering or for use in warmer climates. The woven texture adds a sophisticated, breathable layer to your bedding.
- Chenille Knit Throws: The Steel Blue Chenille Knit Throw Blanket is a popular choice, known for its incredibly soft, velvety feel and slight sheen, which adds a luxurious texture to any room.
Practical Ownership Guide: Care, Cleaning, and Quality
One of the most common questions about plush and faux fur blankets is how to maintain their softness and prevent pilling. Threshold designs many of its throws to be as practical as they are beautiful.
Washing and Care Instructions
The majority of Threshold's polyester-based throws, including the Faux Fur, Sherpa, Microplush, and Cozy Knit styles, are designed to be machine washable and tumble dry for convenience.
- Preventing Pilling and Static: For Microplush and similar fabrics, a pro tip from users is to wash in cold water and add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. This helps to prevent pilling and reduces static cling, keeping the blanket feeling fresh and soft.
- Caring for Weighted Blankets: If your weighted blanket has a removable cover (like the Microplush Weighted Blanket with Removable Cover), you can machine wash the cover. However, the inner weighted part should generally be spot cleaned with a gentle detergent and lukewarm water.
- The Lint Factor: While generally high-quality, some reviews have noted that certain fleece or plush Threshold blankets may produce a noticeable amount of lint, particularly after the first few washes, compared to higher-priced competitors.
The Value Proposition and Topical Authority
Threshold, as a Target exclusive brand, holds a unique position in the market. It’s an authority in providing accessible, on-trend home decor. The brand's commitment to using materials like recycled polyester (in the Textured Faux Fur Reversible Throw) and its widespread use of the OEKO-TEX certification reinforces its focus on both quality and responsible sourcing.
By consistently offering designer-inspired looks, like the Studio McGee collaboration, and high-demand items, such as the 15lbs and 18lbs weighted blankets, Threshold ensures its collection remains fresh, relevant, and a top choice for budget-conscious home stylists.
