If you didn’t grow up to be a mermaid, like you planned, you can still feel like one with adult mermaid tail blankets. They give you the tail you’ve always wanted, complete with a graceful fin. These blankets are great for cozying up on the couch and make perfect mermaid gifts for the holidays.
This Sherpa-Lined Mermaid Blanket With Neck Strap is perfect for people who are always chilly. This knitted blanket is lined with thick sherpa so you can stay comfy and warm. Plus this one comes with a removable neck strap to help keep the blanket in place so you can stay toasty warm.
The blanket is open for the top half of the blanket, closed for the leg portion, and then open at the feet. It comes in four different colors: purple, pink, blue, and sea green.
The tassels give the blanket an even more whimsical look which sets this blanket apart from other mermaid tail blankets. In addition to the tassels, the blanket has large scales knitted on the outside, so it looks like a true, scaly mermaid tail.
The blanket is 70.9 inches long, and 35.5 inches across. Made with soft acrylic, this blanket is on the thinner side, so it’s great for the warmer months as it will keep you warm without getting overheated.
With this Laghcat Mermaid Crochet Blanket, not only do you get a beautifully crocheted mermaid tail, but you also receive a storage bag and mermaid necklace as a complimentary gift.
The blanket is made with a blend of Orlon and cotton, and can be washed as long as it’s alone in the machine. The adult size blanket is 71 inches long by 35.5 inches wide but it also comes in a smaller 56 inches by 28 inches option for petite folks, teens, or so you can get a matching one for your little mermaid-lover.
This blanket is open in the back and feet for better airflow and safety in case you need to get up quickly. There are several colors to choose from including Lake Blue, Vivid Green, Rose Red, Blue, and Grey which looks cooler than you’d think–almost like a dolphin’s tail
This Mermaid Me Blanket may have has the best tail fin of the whole list.
It’s large, gracefully shaped, has visible ridges, and is topped off by a cute pompom fringe. The blanket is a knit but the weave is much tighter than other options meaning it’ll be warmer and less likely to snag on things.
There is an abstracted fish scale pattern in the knit that I really like. It’s more subtle than some of the other blankets on here but it leaves space to enjoy just how glorious and big this tail fin is. The back is partially open so that sounds to me like the feet are closed and a portion of the lower tail is enclosed as well.
This AmyHomie Blanket goes about the fish scale pattern in a unique way by overlaying thick multi-colored yarn on top of a crochet blanket.
The yarn forms this almost net pattern and because the yarn is many different colors it gives a color-shifting rainbow effect. For complete freedom, it’s open in the back and the feet so you never feel confined or like your in a stuff sleeping bag.
Blankie Tails claims to be the original, award-winning mermaid blanket and if you’ve been waiting for a full-enclosed one, this is it.
These blankets are fully enclosed so you have to scooch into them but once they’re on you don’t have to worry about your feet or legs becoming exposed every time you move. This could feel a little claustrophobic for some or just simply cozy for folks like me.
The fabric is double-sided minky material to keep you warm on chilly nights. Blankie Tails has many different colors but I’m highlighting their new rainbow ombre with scale texture at the very top.
I love knit blankets, but this Blue Ombre Mermaid Knit Blanket has an entirely different look with stunning stripes and a blue ombre scale pattern going from dark blue at the fin to nearly white at the top.
The striped tail fin is eye-catching and unique. This blanket is fully open so you can easily get in and out of it with no tripping hazard.
This Flipping Sequin Blanket by Posh Home is for glitter-lovers who want everything to sparkle. The flannel body of the blanket is covered in reflective sequins that are green on one side and silver on the other. They’ll have fun flipping them back and forth to create patterns.
It’s open in the back and closed in the feet for the best of both worlds. Just keep in mind this one is a little narrower and shorter than some of the others.
The raised scales are worked directly into the blanket which adds nice detail to the mermaid effect. The loose crochet weave is warm but breathable so you don’t overheat. It’s open in the back which is nice but it’s unclear if it’s closed in the feet.
If you want to get even more realistic, this Softan Fleece Blanket has embossed fish scales you can actually feel as well as a beautiful pink and blue ombre pattern.
Softan uses patterned texture to create raised scales on their super-soft fleece blanket. When you run your hands over the blanket you can feel each scale as if you were a real mermaid.
This one is open in the back and closed in the feet so you can slip your feet into the fin and move it around without slipping out of the blanket but also won’t feel to confined since the majority of the tail is open in the back.
It has a lovely blue to pink to teal to pink to blue ombre and is available in both adult and kid sizes.
I love the variation of colors in the fish scale pattern that gives this Kanguru Blanket a more realistic look that you might expect from a movie or animation. The pattern changes to a ribbed look at the bottom to match the look of a fin.
It’s made of soft, machine-washable polyester similar to common but cozy throw blankets you already have at home. I like that it’s not knit because it’s less likely to get threads pulled out from children playing with it, catching on jewelry, or dogs nesting in it.
This one has an open back and closed feet which is the optimum configuration in my opinion. It makes it easy to get in and out of but you don’t have to reach down and fuss with keeping your feet covered.
The surface of the green yarn is accented with reflective silver for a more realistic fish scale look. It doesn’t specify openings but from photos, it looks like it’s open in the back, cinched at the ankle, and then open at the feet again, but it’s difficult to tell.
This Mermaid Blanket by Tender Creations is made to order by a crochet artist in Florida. You can choose up to two colors of the pictured super-bulky yarn and she’ll crochet a blanket just for you.
This double-stranded stitch using bulky yarn makes for a thick and warm blanket. Plus two strands allow for some interesting color combinations. The blanket is open in the back and closed around the feet.
If you’re like me and tend to cold, especially during winter, a loosely crocheted blanket isn’t going to cut it. This one has a soft but tight-knit that will keep you warm on cold nights.
The fin has lovely ribbing and there’s cabling running down both sides of the tail. It has an open back so you won’t feel trapped. It comes in grey, purple, and salmon.
The knit pattern on this Mermaid Wavy Fin Blanket curves up and down, mirroring the wave pattern of the ocean.
At 74 inches long and 35 inches across, it’s plenty big enough to fully cover most adults. The back has a slight opening to allow you to put your legs through, and the bottom is open. The open bottom allows you to peek your feet through if you get too hot, without having to fully take your legs out.
The blanket is super soft and is made with cotton blend fibers that are crocheted by hand. And even though it’s knit, it still really breathable. There are multiple colors to choose from, including mint green, blue, pink, and white which has a slight rainbow pattern that makes it look almost iridescent.
Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't live out your dreams of being a mermaid with these best adult mermaid tail blankets.
