Editor's Pick
Pros
- Thirty-Three Years and an A+ With the BBB: Berkshire Blanket & Home Co. has traded from Worcester, Massachusetts since 1993 and carries an A+ BBB rating — a long, checkable record in a category full of one-season brands.
- OEKO-TEX Certified on the Fabrics You Sleep Under: Product pages state OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which is the meaningful test for anything that spends the night against your skin.
- Named Fabrics With Real Differences: VelvetLoft, Extra-Fluffy, PrimaLush, EcoThread, Microfleece, Retro Comfort Plush, MellowSoft and CalmKnit — running from a $36 oversized throw to a ten-foot-square family blanket at $80 and a heated VelvetLoft at $128.
Cons
- Return postage is the customer's on a change of mind, so it is worth ordering one throw to judge the hand of the fabric before committing to the sheet set.
- A good part of the discounted range is marked final sale and falls outside the 30-day window — the price is the trade, and the full-price items return normally.
The Verdict
What sets Berkshire apart is thirty-three years of doing one thing: The company has been making soft home textiles from Worcester, Massachusetts since 1993, and the range is built around named fabrics rather than generic descriptions — VelvetLoft, Extra-Fluffy, PrimaLush, EcoThread, Microfleece, Retro Comfort Plush, MellowSoft and CalmKnit. Prices are approachable: an oversized 60-by-70-inch VelvetLoft throw at $36, an all-season microfleece sheet set from $45, a VelvetLoft plush sheet set from $51, the Extra-Fluffy robe at $75, a ten-foot-square VelvetLoft family blanket at $80, an Acadia faux fur throw at $100 and a heated VelvetLoft blanket at $128. Product pages state OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, and the company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Orders ship within two business days from an east-coast warehouse, free over $75, arriving in three to seven business days on ground, with two-day and overnight options. Returns run 30 days on unused, unwashed items in original packaging through a self-serve portal. Heated products carry a five-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects with registration; everything else carries a quality guarantee offering replacement, credit or refund inside 30 days. Two things to know before you order: return postage on a change of mind is yours, and much of the discounted stock is final sale.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Berkshire Home Company review sponsored?
No. Berkshire Home Company did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Berkshire Home Company assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Home & Garden?
Everything in Home & Garden sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
