Picnic Blankets
How to choose picnic blankets
Outdoor Blankets vs Lawn & Garden
Pick Outdoor Blankets for comfort or Lawn & Garden for waterproofing. Dewy mornings favour the latter.
Outdoor Living range
Outdoor Living is the broadest group, mixing cotton top layer comfort with nylon practicality.
Material and upkeep
Material drives care: linen needs love, nylon shrugs off dirt.
Colour choice
Colour sets mood. Grey and green blend in, red and orange pop.
Warmth against weather
Warmth vs weather: fleece keeps you snug but hates rain, while plastic handles spills but feels chilly.
What's good
- Outdoor Blankets in cotton or flannel give a soft seat on grass. They suit a relaxed picnic.
- Lawn & Garden mats made from nylon or plastic stay dry on damp patios. The waterproof build cuts cleanup time.
- Home & Garden quilts with cotton/polyester mixes bring pattern to garden parties. Their multicolor options brighten a lawn.
- Silicone or plastic types wipe clean after messy meals. That helps if you eat under trees.
Things to watch
- Cotton and linen blankets soak up moisture. They turn cold on wet ground.
- Polyester and nylon mats feel less cosy than flannel. Bare skin may miss the softness.
- Fleece adds warmth but lacks waterproofing. It suits dry days only.
- Cotton top layer quilts need gentle washing. You cannot just hose them down like a plastic rug.
Care & maintenance
Shake down soft types
Shake grass and sand from flannel or cotton blankets after use.
Wipe hard materials
Wipe plastic or silicone mats with a damp cloth. Stains lift easily.
Wash blends gently
Wash cotton/polyester blends on a gentle cycle, then line dry.
Store nylon flat
Fold nylon mats into a bag to avoid creases.
