Plush Blankets

Plush is about the surface: a thick, soft pile that you notice the moment your hand touches it. On this page that pile comes as coral fleece, flannel, faux fur and fluffy feather-yarn knits, in throw sizes for the sofa and larger sizes for the bed. Below are our plush blankets, and under the grid, how to tell the different piles apart.

What makes a blanket plush

A plush fabric has a pile: millions of fine fibers standing up from a base, like a short carpet. The fibers are usually polyester microfiber, spun very thin so the surface feels smooth rather than scratchy. How long the pile is and how tightly it is packed decide how a blanket feels. A short, dense pile is velvety; a longer one is fluffy and moves under your hand.

The kinds of plush

Coral fleece. A dense pile, a little longer than flannel, that looks almost curly up close. It is often shaped into ribs, stripes or raised patterns. You will find these on our fleece blankets page too.

Flannel. A shorter, smoother pile that takes a printed pattern well, which is why so many printed and holiday throws are flannel. Some of our Christmas blankets are plush flannel.

Faux fur. The longest pile, made to look like rabbit or mink fur. Some is cut into raised bubble rows with channels between them, which catches the light and gives the blanket a sculpted look.

Feather-yarn knits. Not a pile fabric at all: a fluffy yarn knitted into a throw. The loose fibers half hide the stitches, so it reads as plush from a distance. These also sit among our knit throw blankets.

One side or two

Some plush blankets are the same soft pile on both faces. Others pair a plush face with a different back: a curly sherpa that looks like lambswool, or a silky micromink. A two-layer blanket is thicker and warmer than a single layer, and it gives you a choice of which side faces up. The product page describes the reverse side where the maker gives it.

Warmth without much weight

A pile holds still air between its fibers, and still air is what keeps you warm. That is why a plush blanket feels warm for how little it weighs. A dense coral fleece or a two-layer blanket with a sherpa back is warmer than a single sheet of flannel. If you run hot at night, a plush throw on the sofa may suit you better than one on the bed; for something cooler, look at cotton blankets.

Sizes

Plush comes in a wide range of sizes. Small ones, around 28 by 39 inches (70 by 100 cm), fit a lap or a reading chair. Throw sizes around 50 by 60 inches (127 by 152 cm) cover one person on the sofa. Bed sizes such as 59 by 79 inches and 79 by 91 inches go on top of the bedding or replace a duvet on a cool night. The product page lists each size in inches and centimeters.

Keeping the pile soft

Read the Care tab first; many plush blankets go in the machine, and some ask for a gentle cycle or a hand wash. Heat is what flattens a pile, so cool water and a low dryer setting, or drying on a line, keep it standing up. Fabric softener can leave fibers matted and less soft, so many people leave it out. A shake after drying fluffs the surface back up.

Where a plush blanket goes

A plush throw is the blanket people reach for on the sofa, so keep it folded over the backrest or in a basket within reach. On a bed, a plush blanket in a solid color adds texture over plain sheets; a patterned or faux fur one does the decorating on its own. See the full range in Blankets & Throws.

Frequently asked questions

What is a plush blanket?
A blanket with a soft pile surface, made from fine polyester fibers standing up from a base fabric. Coral fleece, flannel and faux fur are all plush; so are knits made from fluffy feather yarn.
Is a plush blanket the same as fleece?
They overlap. Fleece names the fabric, plush describes the soft pile. Coral fleece and flannel fleece are plush; faux fur and feather-yarn knits are plush without being fleece.
Are plush blankets warm?
Yes, for their weight. The pile holds still air, which is what keeps you warm. A dense coral fleece or a two-layer blanket with a sherpa back is warmer than a single layer of flannel.
Can I machine wash a plush blanket?
Many can go in the machine. The Care tab on the product page gives the instructions for that blanket. Cool water and low heat keep the pile from flattening.
What sizes do plush blankets come in?
From small lap sizes around 28 by 39 inches, through throw sizes around 50 by 60 inches, to bed sizes such as 79 by 91 inches. Each size is on the product page in inches and centimeters.
Why does my plush blanket feel flatter after washing?
Heat and fabric softener are the usual causes. Wash it cool, dry it on low or on a line, and give it a good shake afterwards to lift the pile.
