Which is warmer, the Eddie Bauer or the North Pole sherpa?

Both are synthetic throws of the same size. The Eddie Bauer's faux fur layer traps air and feels warmer against skin; the knitted sherpa is lighter and breathable. Pick the Eddie Bauer for cold couches, the sherpa for layering.

Which one holds up better in the wash?

Both are machine washable. Knitted sherpa tends to pill over time, while faux fur can mat if washed hot. Wash both cold and air dry to extend their life.

Is the Eddie Bauer worth the extra money?

At its recent low of $15.17 it is a strong buy given the 4.7 rating and reversible design. Only pay more for the sherpa if you specifically want its knitted texture and it costs less.

Are they the same size?

Yes. Both are 50 inches wide and 60 inches long, a standard throw size that covers a lap or the foot of a bed.

Which is better for travel?

The Eddie Bauer, which is listed as packable. The North Pole throw has no packable claim.
