Blankets have long been a symbol of warmth, comfort, and relaxation. In the UK, the demand for wholesale blankets has grown as businesses and households seek affordable options without compromising on quality. At British Wholesales, we specialise in supplying high-quality wholesale throws and blankets at unbeatable prices. With over 30 years of experience, we provide solutions for hospitality, healthcare, education, and households across the UK. Our wholesale collection includes a wide variety of materials, styles, GSM weights, and finishes designed to suit every setting. From lightweight fleece throws to heavyweight flame-retardant blankets, we have something to match every need.

Types of Our Wholesale Throws and Blankets

Our wholesale throws and blankets are available in a wide selection of fabrics and designs. Each type is created to offer unique benefits, whether it’s warmth, breathability, durability, or a luxury feel.

1. Fleece Blankets

Fleece is one of the most popular choices for bulk throws and blankets in the UK. It is lightweight, quick-drying, and incredibly soft. Fleece blankets are ideal for schools, airlines, hostels, and promotional giveaways. The 100% polyester fleece offers warmth without weight, easy to wash, non-pilling surface.

2. Sherpa & Teddy Bear Blankets

Sherpa and teddy bear fleece blankets provide a more luxurious feel. With their fluffy, soft-touch texture, they are a favourite in homes, hotels, and spas looking to add a touch of indulgence. The double-layer polyester with sherpa lining are cosy, thick, and insulating.

3. Thermal & Cellular Blankets

Thermal and cellular blankets are designed with breathability in mind. Their unique weave allows air circulation while still retaining warmth, making them ideal for hospitals, care homes, and summer bedding. The 100% cotton or cotton-blend is lightweight, breathable, machine-wash safe.

4. Flame Retardant Blankets

Safety is essential in many industries, and flame-retardant blankets are a practical solution. These blankets comply with BS7175 standards, ensuring they are safe for use in healthcare, hotels, and other institutions where fire safety is paramount.

5. Baby Blankets

Baby blankets need to be soft, safe, and breathable. Our wholesale baby blankets, including bubble and fleece styles, are gentle on sensitive skin while providing warmth and comfort. The polyester fleece or cotton blends are lightweight and washable.

6. Outdoor & Travel Blankets

For camping, picnics, and outdoor activities, wholesale outdoor blankets are durable and practical. Many of our blankets are designed to be lightweight and easy to pack, making them suitable for travel and adventure.

Understanding GSM in Blankets

When buying wholesale blankets, GSM (grams per square metre) is one of the most important factors to consider. GSM determines the weight and thickness of the blanket, which impacts warmth, durability, and comfort.

  • 150–200 GSM: Lightweight, breathable blankets suitable for summer or layering.
  • 200–300 GSM: Mid-weight blankets offering warmth without heaviness.
  • 300–500 GSM: Heavyweight, luxury blankets designed for winter or cold climates.

At British Wholesales, we stock blankets across these GSM ranges, ensuring you can find the perfect option for your specific needs.

Care Instructions for Throws and Blankets

Follow these care instructions to wash throws and blankets properly:

  • Machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
  • Use mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Wash separately or with similar colours to prevent colour bleeding.
  • For wool or delicate fabrics, use a wool-safe detergent and cold water.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners as they may affect fabric texture.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry naturally.
  • Shake out blankets before drying to keep them fluffy and even.
