63 inches or 71 inches — does the extra eight inches matter?
Both are the same 51 inches deep, so this is purely a question of how many people sit along the long edge. Eight inches sounds like nothing until it's the difference between a fourth person on the blanket and a fourth person on the grass.
| Choose | If this sounds like you |
|---|---|
| 63"×51" | Two adults and a bag of food, or a parent and a couple of small children. The one that folds down smallest, so it's the one that actually gets carried to the park rather than left in the hall cupboard. |
| 71"×51" | Three or four people sitting along one side, an outdoor cinema night, or anyone who wants to lie down full length without their feet in the clover. |
If it's mostly going to be a spectator blanket at kids' sport, take the longer one — someone always joins you.
Where can I actually put it down?
Anywhere flat that isn't sharp — the ground you choose matters more than the blanket does. Most picnic blanket disasters are a siting problem, not a product problem.
| Works on | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Mown grass, sand, a park lawn, a festival field, decking, the boot of a car as a liner, a beach at low tide, a concert seat you don't want to sit on directly. | Gravel, bark chip and anything with thorns or broken shell in it. Wet ground straight after rain. Packing it away damp — folded wet fabric in a car boot for two days is how a blanket starts to smell. |
Sweep the spot with your foot before you lay it, shake it out hard downwind when you leave, and open it up at home to air before it goes in the cupboard. The airing is the step everyone skips — a blanket folded straight from a damp lawn into a bag is the one you regret unpacking next weekend.
Sitting on grass stops being a decision you regret twenty minutes later.
The park is always a nice idea, and then you get there. The grass is faintly damp even though it hasn't rained since Tuesday, there's something prickly under your left hand, and by the time you've eaten you have a damp patch on the back of your jeans that stays with you for the rest of the afternoon. So most people either stand around awkwardly or give up and go home. A proper blanket removes all of it — you shake it out, you sit down, and the afternoon stops being negotiated around the ground.
51 inches deep is the number that matters
People always shop picnic blankets on length, which is the wrong dimension. Length just adds seats along one edge. Depth is what decides whether you can sit facing each other with food between you, or whether one person ends up perched on the hem with a plate balanced on their knee. At 51 inches there's room for two people opposite one another and still a corridor down the middle for the bag, the bottle and the box of strawberries — which is the actual geometry of a picnic.
The other thing depth buys you is a bed. Anything shallower and lying down means your shoulders are on and your legs are off. At this depth you can stretch out sideways across the blanket and read for an hour, which is what most people are really buying it for even if they say it's for lunch.
How it gets used
- 63"×51" — the compact one. Folds down smaller, so it lives in a tote or a boot without argument. Best for two adults, or one adult and small kids who won't stay on it anyway.
- 71"×51" — the sociable one. The extra length is a fourth seat along the edge, which matters at an outdoor film or a long lunch where people arrive in stages.
- Beyond picnics — both sizes work as a sideline blanket at weekend sport, a beach layer, a boot liner for muddy boots and dogs, or a spare layer thrown over a sofa when someone stays the night.
What You're Getting
- One Sun & Soul Outdoor Picnic Blanket in your chosen Size
- Two lengths, one depth — 63"×51" and 71"×51", both deep enough to sit facing each other with food in between
- 51 inches deep, which is the dimension that lets you lie down sideways rather than perch
- Folds for carrying, so it can live in a car boot or a beach bag between uses
- Doubles as a boot liner, sideline blanket or beach layer — it's not precious
- Shakes out clean after grass and sand, which is most of the maintenance it'll ever need
- Care: shake out thoroughly, spot clean with mild detergent and cool water, cold gentle wash when it needs a full clean
- Drying: line dry in shade and make sure it's completely dry before folding
- Storage: open it up and air it after a damp day rather than putting it away folded
