gogobunny 60x80 Waterproof Sherpa Blanket Review

Intro — why I grabbed the gogobunny waterproof sherpa throw

As someone who lives with multiple pets and an unfortunate history of middle-of-the-night accidents and muddy paws, I’m always on the hunt for covers that actually protect furniture without feeling like a hospital sheet. The gogobunny Waterproof Bed Blanket (60 x 80 inches, reversible sherpa fleece) promises exactly that: a soft flannel side, a sherpa side, and a waterproof layer sandwiched between to keep liquid from soaking through. In this review I pull together the product specs and a lot of real-world owner experience to give you a practical take on fit, wash care, durability, and where this blanket shines — and where it doesn’t.

What it is — first look and key specs

At its core this is a reversible throw blanket built to be waterproof while remaining soft and cozy. The listing identifies the materials as flannel and sherpa, with the blanket offered in a 60 x 80 inch size (this review focuses on that size). The product is machine washable and described for nap use and general all-seasons wear. The brand and manufacturer are both gogobunny.

In daily use — hands-on testing and real-owner patterns

Using the 60x80 size on sofas and beds, and synthesizing numerous long-term owner experiences, I found a consistent set of behaviors that will determine whether this is the right cover for you.

Waterproof performance

• Truly waterproof — The listing calls it waterproof, and in extended owner use the waterproof layer repeatedly stopped liquids from soaking through. Multiple long-term experiences describe pouring or large spills that did not penetrate to the mattress or upholstery beneath.
• Edge runoff — Because liquid beads and rolls on the waterproof face, spills can roll off the edges of the blanket. On a bed that means liquids can run toward the mattress edge unless the blanket is tucked or the sherpa (fuzzy) side is placed upward to absorb some of the spill.

Comfort and day-to-day feel

• The blanket feels like a normal throw: soft, warm, and comfortable, with a sherpa side that gives genuine coziness.
• Several owners treat the blanket as a regular snuggle throw as well as protection — it’s warm enough for movie nights and, in some cases, double-duty as a sick-kid or sick-pet blanket.

Fit and furniture coverage

• On couches the 60x80 size fits the seat and the back nicely in many setups, but it won't necessarily drape down the front or sides of oversized sofas or cover a queen mattress fully. One owner noted the 60x80 fit nicely on a couch seat; another said the queen-size bed was only covered on top and did not hang over the sides.
• If you need side coverage for a bed or want to cover an ottoman that’s a different shape (square ottoman noted as not a good fit), consider a larger size in the gogobunny line.

Stays put — or not?

• Owners gave mixed notes on how the blanket behaves when pets move around on it. Some said it stayed in place better than expected; others called the surface a little slick and said it could shift under active pets. If you have a very active dog who bolts around the couch, expect occasional shifting unless it’s tucked or anchored.

Washing, drying and maintenance

• Machine wash is listed as the care instruction. In practice, owners repeatedly emphasize that drying takes extra attention: the waterproof layer traps water between layers and a freshly washed blanket can be very heavy and slow to dry.
• Tips that appeared repeatedly: run an extra spin/drain cycle to remove as much water as possible before tumbling, or hang/unfold the blanket while drying so the layers separate and air circulates. Some owners add towels to balance front-load washers. One owner specifically warned against using liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets and suggested dryer balls instead (they reported the blanket stayed soft after multiple washes).

Materials & build quality

The listing gives a straightforward materials breakdown: flannel and sherpa for fabric and fill. What you’ll notice in the hand is the contrast between a smooth flannel face and a plush white sherpa opposite side; the waterproof performance comes from a layer between those faces rather than a plastic top layer.

Construction details I observed (and that owners corroborated)

• The fabric combination yields a blanket that feels thicker than a thin throw, with good body and a pleasant weight for a 60x80 throw.
• Despite the internal waterproof layer, owners say the blanket doesn’t sound or feel like a stiff plastic cover — several noted that it doesn’t make noise during use (a frequent complaint with cheaper mattress protectors).
• Colorfastness has held up for many owners after multiple washes; several reported the color staying true and the material remaining soft.

Durability vs. claws and wear

• Durability has been generally positive: many owners reported owning and washing the blanket multiple times and still finding it in good condition.
• Caveat: cats’ claws can snag the sherpa side. A few owners said their cats snagged the surface, so if you have an indoor feline who loves to knead or dig, expect some pilling or occasional snags over time.
• To reiterate: owners did not describe the blanket as chew-proof or appropriate for power chewers; it’s designed as a protective, cozy throw, not a chew-resistant mat.

Safety considerations

There are no listing-specified certifications or safety recalls noted in the product facts. Still, a few practical safety points come from owner experience and the product’s design:

• Age suitability is listed as "all ages," but keep normal blanket-safety practices in mind for unsupervised infants — the listing doesn’t provide infant-safe guidance beyond the age range.
• Pet-safety: because the sherpa side can snag under claws, monitor cats that love to dig or knead. The blanket is not a chew-proof product, so it’s not suitable as a chew or gnaw toy.
• Because liquids bead on and can roll off the waterproof face, position the blanket so runoff won't travel onto furniture you want to protect. Tucking or orienting the sherpa side up for an absorbent surface can help manage spills.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Best if you:

• Want a soft, attractive waterproof throw for sofas, chairs, or the top of a bed (60x80 is a generous throw for many couches).
• Have pets that occasionally have accidents or bring in muddy paws and you want protection that doesn’t look like plastic.
• Need something warm and cozy for lounging that also protects upholstery and mattresses from spills and fur.
• Value easy washing and solid waterproof performance and don’t mind spending a little extra time drying.

Skip this if you:

• Have a very active chewer — the blanket is not designed to be chew-proof.
• Own a cat that aggressively claws and kneads — owners reported snagging and potential pilling on the sherpa surface.
• Need rapid turnaround laundry — the blanket holds water and needs extra spin/dry time or hanging to dry fully.
• Expect full bed skirt coverage on a queen-sized mattress from the 60x80 size — owners said the 60x80 may only cover the top of a queen bed and not drape over the sides.

Value & final verdict

Across the listing details and long-term owner experiences, the gogobunny 60x80 waterproof sherpa throw does the three things most buyers want: it looks nice, it’s soft and comfortable, and it keeps liquids from soaking through. The real-world use reports are consistent — it works as advertised, stands up to spills and even messy real-life situations (vomit, heavy spills), and holds up to repeated washing without losing softness or color in many cases.

The trade-offs are practical: drying takes longer than a plain blanket because the waterproof layer traps moisture, and the sherpa face can snag with feline claws. Also, because liquids bead on the waterproof face, spills can roll off the edge unless the blanket is arranged thoughtfully. None of these are deal-breakers for the intended use (protecting beds and couches while remaining cozy), but they matter for owners who need fast laundry rotation or have destructive pets.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Decide desired coverage: 60x80 covers couch seats well but may not drape over bed sides; consider larger sizes for full bed coverage.
• Plan laundry care: add an extra drain/spin cycle, consider balancing a front-load washer with towels, and be prepared for longer drying times or hanging to finish drying.
• Consider pet behavior: not chew-proof; cat claws may snag the sherpa side.
• Choose which side to use up: sherpa side will absorb more liquid; flannel side will bead and let liquid roll off.
• Confirm color choice from the available palette to match your space (Forest Green, Grey, Navy Blue, etc.).

Verdict

For pet parents who want a cozy, attractive, and genuinely waterproof option that doesn’t scream "mattress protector," the gogobunny 60x80 reversible sherpa throw is a strong, practical pick. It delivers on waterproof claims, stays soft after many washes, and is useful for couches, chair seats, and the top of beds. Owners consistently report it handled real messes without leaking and kept furniture dry beneath.

The negatives are manageable but real: long drying times, potential for snagging with claws, and runoff off the edges when the waterproof side is up. If those are acceptable trade-offs for you, the blanket hits the sweet spot between function and comfort. If you need something for heavy chewers, aggressive scratchers, or quick laundry turnover, look for an alternative designed specifically for those use cases.

Final bottom line

If you want a soft, reversible throw that protects furniture and still looks like a normal blanket, the gogobunny waterproof sherpa throw is worth serious consideration. It’s comfortable, effective, and versatile — just plan ahead for washing and be mindful of clawed pets.
