Faux Fur Blankets

Faux fur is a long, soft pile on a blanket, made from synthetic fibers to look like rabbit or mink fur. Here it comes smooth, in raised bubble rows, in ribs and stripes, ruched or embossed with a pattern, in throw sizes for the sofa and larger sizes for the bed. Below are our faux fur blankets, and under the grid, how to choose one.

What faux fur is

Faux fur is a pile fabric. Fine synthetic fibers, polyester or acrylic, stand up from a knitted base, and they are cut longer than on fleece or flannel. That length is what gives it the loose, slightly shaggy look of a pelt and the way it moves when you run a hand over it. The product page names the fiber where the maker states it.

The textures

Smooth. One even pile in a solid color, closest to the look of rabbit fur. It photographs well on a plain sofa and suits a calm room.

Bubble rows and ribs. The pile is pressed into raised rows with lower channels between them, or into stripes that run the length of the blanket. The light catches the high parts, so a single color reads as two tones.

Ruched and embossed. Gathered folds or a pattern pressed into the pile, from diamonds to geometric shapes. These do the decorating on their own and look best against plain cushions.

Tie dye and two tone. Color that shifts across the pile. A good pick when the rest of the room is neutral.

What is on the back

Turn a faux fur blanket over and you will find one of a few things. Some have a silky micromink, a very short and smooth pile. Some have milk velvet, a short plush that feels a little denser. Some have a plain fleece back, and some are faux fur on both faces. A smooth back slides easily over a sofa and sits flat on a bed; a fur back means either side can face up. The product page describes the reverse side where the maker gives it.

Sizes

Faux fur throws start small, around 28 by 39 inches (70 by 100 cm), which covers a lap or the seat of a reading chair. Throw sizes around 50 by 60 inches (127 by 152 cm) cover one person on the sofa. Bed sizes run up to about 79 by 91 inches (200 by 230 cm) and can lie across the foot of the bed or over the duvet. Each size on the product page is given in inches and centimeters.

Washing faux fur

Start with the Care tab, because faux fur asks for more care than fleece. Heat is the enemy of a long pile: it can flatten or slightly melt the fiber tips. That is why the care lines you will see are cold water, a gentle cycle and a low dryer setting, and some ask for air drying only. Wash it on its own or with similar colors, skip the iron, and give it a good shake when it comes out so the pile stands back up.

Faux fur, plush or sherpa?

All three are soft, but they feel different. Faux fur has the longest pile and moves freely under your hand. Plush is the wider family of soft piles, from short flannel to coral fleece, and you will find faux fur there too among our plush blankets. Sherpa is curly and bumpy, made to look like a sheep's fleece, and is often the back of a two-sided blanket; see our sherpa blankets for those.

Where a faux fur blanket goes

Folded over the arm of a sofa or draped across the end of a bed, faux fur adds texture to a room in a way a flat fabric cannot. A light color makes a dark leather sofa look softer; a deep color grounds a pale bedroom. Keep it where people sit, since a throw this soft tends to get pulled over a lap on a cool evening.

Frequently asked questions

What is a faux fur blanket?
A blanket with a long, soft pile made from synthetic fibers, polyester or acrylic, styled to look like rabbit or mink fur. The pile can be smooth, ribbed, ruched or pressed into bubble rows and patterns.
Is faux fur real fur?
No. Faux fur is made from synthetic fibers. The product page names the fiber where the maker states it.
Can I put a faux fur blanket in the washing machine?
Many can go in the machine on a cold, gentle cycle. The Care tab on the product page gives the instructions for that blanket. Keep the heat low when drying so the pile does not flatten.
What is on the back of a faux fur blanket?
It depends on the blanket: a smooth micromink, a short milk velvet, a plain fleece, or faux fur on both sides. The product page describes the reverse side where the maker gives it.
What sizes do faux fur blankets come in?
From small lap sizes around 28 by 39 inches, through throw sizes around 50 by 60 inches, to bed sizes up to about 79 by 91 inches. Each size is on the product page in inches and centimeters.
What is the difference between faux fur and sherpa?
Faux fur has a long, straight pile that moves under your hand. Sherpa is a shorter, curly pile made to look like a sheep's fleece, often used as the back of a two-sided blanket.
