Best Answer

It depends upon the relative thickness and the number of layers. The warmth of any blanket is strictly its ability to capture your own body heat. This increases with thickness, and the number of layers, in providing a barrier to radiation and air circulation.

Blankets and Comforters ultimately accomplish the same goal; warming the user. They differ mainly in how they achieve this and how effective they are in doing so. Blankets are typically thick, rectangular pieces of cloth that lay across the bed to warm the person. Comforters, which provide much greater warmth, are two flat pieces of fabric sewn together and filled with heat trapping materials.
