This one is more like a flat sheet, so it can cover a lot of surface area. In fact, the California King size is the largest blanket on this list, so if you have a big bed (or just want to be extra safe), this is an ideal option.But to be so lightweight, this blanket doesn’t have an absorbency layer. Instead, it’s made of a thin, raincoat-like material so any liquids will pool on top of it. Our testers didn’t mind this feature, but just noted that this might make the blanket better suited for camping sex than indoor intimacy. That said, the material is designed with a silky feel, so it's comfortable enough to use for regular ol’ sleeping, too.
