blanket
Soft sleeping layer
A blanket is a large piece of soft fabric used as a covering for warmth, especially on beds.
The word extends to anything that covers like a blanket: a blanket of snow, a blanket of fog.
As an adjective, blanket means comprehensive or all-inclusive: a blanket ban, a blanket statement.
To blanket something is to cover it completely: Snow blanketed the valley.
