Peace Nest Cooling Waffle Blanket, Full/Queen, $58 (was $72)
Why do we like this deal?
Amazon and Walmart are hosting massive sales right now, so where does this leave the rest of the major retailers? Well, Target’s answer came in the form of Target Circle Deal Days, which runs through June 26 and is offering up to 40% off thousands of products for Target Circle members (a free-to-join membership). One of the most useful is this $58 cooling blanket — people who use heated blankets to get comfortable sleep this summer swear by it.
The full/queen size Peace Nest Cooling Waffle Blanket is 20% off the original $72 price tag during the big sale. This item has over 5,000 five-star ratings at Target and comes in six colors that share the same markdown. The only thing that adjusts the price is the bed size, from full to king, and even at the larger end of the scale, it’s still only $64.

What shoppers need to know
- size: perfect for the king
- Reversible: Yes
- machine washable: Yes
If ever there was a time to invest in a cooling blanket, it’s the beginning of summer. On one side, there is a silky fabric that cools you and helps dissipate body heat. On the other side, there is a waffle-textured material that traps heat and produces more heat when you move in contrast. The east side is ideal for warm climates and those who sleep hot, no matter the season. The latter is better for fall and can be ideal for winter when layered with other blankets and bedding.
And if you want to get into the technical aspects of the cooling effect, the Q-max of this bed is around 0.45. Any fabric with a Q-max around 0.3 to 0.4 means it’s incredibly fast at removing heat from your skin, so the fact that this blanket rates above that tells you all you need to know.
In terms of pricing, this is a fair deal for a cooling blanket. There are budget-friendly products available at lower prices, but this item is a good middle-of-the-road option that comes highly recommended by customers.

what shoppers are saying
This blanket is so effective at keeping you cool that you might miss it if you live with others. “Where I live it’s pretty hot all year round, so I wanted something that would keep me cool,” said one shopper. “This blanket definitely did that. It did it so well that my daughter took it from me because she loved how refreshing it felt after a long, hot day. I can’t say I blame her.”
Another reviewer said this blanket is the perfect cure for people who feel overheated while sleeping. “As someone who sleeps warm, I love this blanket!” He shouted. “Very cool on one side, and stays cool when in use! This blanket washes well and looks great while keeping you cozy and cool.”
