Which is warmer, the JML or the Virtu?

The Virtu. At 9 lbs it carries roughly 3 lbs more fabric than the JML King, so it traps more warmth and feels heavier on the bed.

Is the Virtu worth $20 more than the JML?

If you want a heavy blanket, yes. You get about 3 more pounds of fabric and a larger Queen. If you just want a warm reversible raschel blanket, the JML does the job for $49.99.

The Virtu Queen is 79 x 94 in. The JML Queen is 75 x 87 in and its King is 83 x 91 in, so the JML King is the widest option of the three.

Do both wash in a machine?

Yes. The JML is machine washable and claims no fade or shrink. The Virtu wants cold water on gentle and low tumble dry, with no iron or bleach.

Which has better ratings?

The Virtu, at 4.7 from 136 ratings versus 4.5 from 87 for the JML. Both samples are small, so treat the gap as modest.

Are these true Korean mink blankets?

Both are 100% polyester fleece made in the Korean raschel style, not real mink. The Virtu notes Korean sizing runs smaller than US standard.
