Measure your sofa from armrest to armrest, outer edge included. That measurement decides, not the number of seats the manufacturer claims: two sofas sold as three-seaters can be 16 inches apart.

Which material for a large format?
The bigger the throw, the more its weight matters. Material choice counts far more here than on a small blanket.
Fleece: the lightest and the most affordable, warm straight away, machine washable. Our entry point.
Chunky knit: the strongest decorative effect, but heavy and bulky. Our largest piece is also our most expensive.
Wool: warm and breathable. It regulates temperature rather than simply trapping heat.
Faux fur: the softest to the touch, and the one that shows dirt most. Avoid it if you have a pet.
Does a large throw work on a bed?
Yes, from 79" x 91" (200 x 230 cm) on a full bed. Anything smaller covers the mattress without falling over the sides, which looks cut short. On a queen bed, take the 79" x 91" as a minimum and accept that it will not reach the floor.
Common questions
Can a large throw go in the machine? Fleece and microfiber, yes, at 86°F. Chunky knit and wool should be hand washed or dry cleaned: their weight when wet damages domestic drums.
What is the difference with a bedspread? A bedspread is made to stay in place and decorate. A throw is made to be used, moved and washed often.
Which size is the most popular? 59" x 79" (150 x 200 cm), by a wide margin. It suits most sofas and still works on a bed.
