A faux fur blanket has three important jobs: provide warmth, lend a snuggly vibe to a space, and add stylish texture to whatever piece of furniture it’s draped over—whether it's a bed, couch, or chair. “You generally get what you pay for from faux fur blankets, so when considering a purchase I would recommend shopping through known high quality retailers rather than choosing a quick, cheap option,” saysGrace Baena, interior designer for Kaiyo Used Sofas. We tested a wide array of faux fur blankets, evaluating each for their quality, comfort, fabric, warmth, durability, and overall value. Read on for the best faux fur blankets to keep you nice and cozy. Our Top Picks Best Overall: Jump to Review Jump to Review Best Splurge: Jump to Review Best Heated: Jump to Review Best Realistic: Jump to Review Best Decorative Accent: Jump to Review In This Article Our Picks How We Tested What to Look For FAQ Why Trust The Spruce 4.7 Our Ratings Quality 5/5 Fabric 4/5 Warmth 5/5 Durability 5/5 Value 4/5 What We Like Incredibly soft Warm without being overwhelming Doesn't shed or attract lint What We Don't Like Large size is heavy to move around Slightly slippery feel Monochromatic tones look less like real fur If what you really want is a super soft and comfortable blanket that’s sizable enough to engulf you, you’ll love the UnHide Marshmallow. Made of a synthetic material meant to mimic chinchilla fur, the Marshmallow is ultra-fluffy and better equipped to retain its fluff than real fur—no matter how long your binge-watching session is. What’s more, our testers said the blanket, which is made of 90 percent recycled materials, didn’t shed or attract pet hair. (Perfect for those with allergies.) Because of this, the blanket can also be machine-washed without damage. Our tester washed the blanket on the delicate setting and dried it for 15 minutes without heat before draping it over a drying rack. It dried in less than 24 hours. The size of the blanket is both a pro and a con, depending on how you look at it. While our testers liked that the queen size covered their body (and then some!), they noted that the 9-pound weight was a bit heavy to move around and even fold up after use. Of course, you could also always opt for one of UnHide’s more lightweight blankets—like the Lil' Marsh, which weighs half as much and comes in three different sizes. Price at time of publish: $219 Size: 60 x 80 inches |Material: Recycled polyester |Weight: 9 pounds |Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low 4.2 Our Ratings Quality 4/5 Fabric 4/5 Warmth 4/5 Durability 4/5 Value 5/5 What We Like Affordable Can be washed and dried Attractive What We Don't Like Bumpy texture might not be for everyone Backside feels a bit thin Only comes in two colors The Threshold's Ruched Faux Rabbit Fur Throw is extremely affordable and highly functional. Designed to look like rabbit fur, this blanket is both lightweight and warm, plus it comes in an attractive textured design. It can also be machine washed and dried without compromise. The eye-catching ruched detailing makes it stand out from other options in this price range, perfect for sprucing up whatever piece of furniture it's draped over. Note that the ruching looks a bit crisper in the photos—in real life, it's more soft and subtle, especially after people have been sitting on it. Price at time of publish: $30 Size: 50 x 60 inches |Material: Polyester |Weight: 2 pounds |Care: Machine wash, tumble dry The 11 Best Blankets of 2023 4.7 Our Ratings Quality 5/5 Fabric 4/5 Warmth 5/5 Durability 5/5 Value 4/5 What We Like Velvety finished edge makes it feel extra special and gift-worthy Reverse side also has high-quality fabric Certified nontoxic What We Don't Like Can't be machine dried Expensive Only comes in three muted colors Pottery Barn Faux Alpaca Throw Review This faux alpaca blanket, which is made from certified nontoxic fabric, has a short and dense pile that’s incredibly soft and fluffy. It also has an attractive velvet border and reverses to solid polyester if you want to change things up for more of a silky feel. "You can’t help but run your fingers through the faux fur. The softness rivals anyblanket or throwwe’ve ever used,” our tester said. “The fleece’s texture feels good, but finding a good fleece isn’t as hard as finding an amazing, durable faux fur. There were absolutely no little hairs or flyaways left behind.” Because of these special touches, the Pottery Barn Faux Alpaca Throw makes a great gift—for yourself or for someone else. It even comes tied with a pretty grosgrain ribbon. Plus, you can choose from two different sizes and even get matching pillow covers. If there’s any downside—especially given the price—it’s that the blanket can’t take a spin in the dryer. In fact, the company suggests dry cleaning, which would cost you even more in the long-run. But there’s a bit of good news: Our tester washed the blanket herself and said it dried on a drying rack in less than a day. Price at time of publish: $149 for 50 x 60" Size: 50 x 60 inches or 60 x 80 inches |Material: Acrylic, polyester (front); polyester (back) |Weight: Varies |Care: Machine wash, line dry, or dry-clean 4.4 Our Ratings Quality 5/5 Fabric 3.5/5 Warmth 5/5 Durability 4/5 Value 5/5 What We Like Two-hour automatic shutoff for safety Blanket adjusts heat based on room temperature Lots of color options What We Don't Like Manual machine washing instructions are complex Wires can be felt through fabric A faux fur blanket is great, but a faux fur blanket that heats up is even better—especially if it looks as good as this one does. In fact, this blanket received perfect scores from our testers in multiple categories, including quality, warmth, and value. The attractive blanket has a plug that is discreetly embedded at the foot of the blanket (though it’s worth noting that you can feel the wires through the blanket). There’s also an extra switch that keeps it from popping out during the night, as well as a two-hour safety shutoff to prevent overheating. The silky-soft blanket is the perfect size for a single person—50 by 70 inches—and doesn’t shed at all. It also comes in a dozen different color options—neutral grays, creams, and browns—so you can choose the one that best matches your space. The blanket heats up pretty quickly, too. It has three different heat settings, but also adjusts automatically based on surrounding temperatures. Our tester turned it on high during an unexpectedly warm day, but noticed the heat delivered was minimal. Unfortunately, due to the wiring, it’s a bit complicated to wash this blanket—and the instructions aren’t much help. They walk you through using manual settings in a convoluted way. Luckily, you can hand wash the blanket if you have a bath tub or a big enough sink. Price at time of publish: $80 Size: 50 x 70 inches |Material: Polyester |Weight: 3.58 pounds |Care: Hand wash or wash manually in machine following manufacturer instructions; line dry or tumble dry low for 5 minutes, then block and drape to dry The 6 Best Electric Blankets of 2023, Tested and Reviewed 4.2 Our Ratings Quality 4/5 Fabric 4/5 Warmth 4/5 Durability 4/5 Value 3/5 What We Like Five beautiful color choices Solid construction What We Don't Like Dry-cleaning is recommended A little expensive When it comes to faux fur, it’s not always about comfort. Sometimes you really want a nice decor piece that looks just like the real thing. That’s exactly what you get with this option from Frontgate. It’s made from fibers sourced from Japan and comes in five different colors. Our tester tried the Coyote, a mixture of ivory and dark and light brown tones, but you can also choose from Lynx (cream with flecks of black), Timberwolf Gray (light gray), Arctic Hare (solid white), and Chinchilla Gray Ombre (a mix of ash brown and dark gray). You can’t really go wrong—each one is just as realistic as the next and looks like something you’d find in a high-end ski lodge. The blanket is also ripe for snuggling. Our tester praised the blanket’s fabric and build quality. The only downside may be washing it: while testers said the throw washed well on the machine's delicate setting, the company recommends dry-cleaning. Price at time of publish: $179 for 50" x 70" Size: 50 x 70 inches or 68 x 88 inches |Material: Modacrylic, polyester, and polyester velvet |Weight: Varies |Care: Machine wash and line dry or dry-clean 4.7 Our Ratings Quality 5/5 Fabric 5/5 Warmth 5/5 Durability 4/5 Value 5/5 What We Like Very handsome Cozy but not too heavy Good value given its size What We Don't Like Could be softer Dry-clean only Limited color choices Like the blanket from Frontgate, this throw has a sophisticated, realistic look that makes it an excellent statement piece in your home. It works just as well as a blanket or statement piece—perhaps draped over furniture. That’s all thanks to the long hair that comes in a blend of cool light cream and dark brown tone—it makes it look just like the real thing. Of course, as with any good faux fur blanket, it’s plenty warm and comfortable, too. In tests, this blanket received the highest possible score in quality, fabric, warmth, and value. The material is soft and cozy, but is a touch thinner than some others, despite its relatively hefty size. This isn’t necessarily a drawback, though—you won’t have to wrestle with it when moving it around or shifting your position on the couch. Beyond some initial shedding when taking it out of the box, it doesn’t shed much either.

But if you want something a little bit more affordable, Target’sThreshold Ruched Faux Rabbit Fur Throw Blanketis a great option. Its textured design is eye-catching and though it’s a bit thinner than the UnHide, it’s just as ripe for snuggling. For this article, we mailed testers a wide range of the most popular faux-fur blankets. Our testers tried out the blankets around their homes and provided feedback throughout the testing process. Our testers also washed the blankets when possible, machine washing and then either tumble drying or line drying according to the product’s instructions. Our testers took notes on how easily the blankets shed fibers, especially on black clothing, and whether the shedding improved with time or machine washing. Using them in real-life settings such as the living room couch, they also noted whether or not the blankets attracted things like dust, lint, or pet hair. They observed the hand feel for each one, noting attributes such as silky, furry, fuzzy, or smooth. Finally, they rated the blankets for quality, fabric, comfort, warmth, and overall value. Faux fur blankets come in various sizes, from small accent pieces that closely resemble real animal pelts to throws you can drape in your lap and oversized versions that can fully envelop you. Before purchasing, be sure to take intended use and product dimensions into consideration, lest you end up with permanent cold toes. Though there are faux fur blankets made to mimic just about every kind of animal—chinchilla, mink, fox, wolf—most manufacturers aren’t focused on naming the fur they’re emulating, our expert, designerOlga Naiman, observes. Her advice? “Don’t choose your fur based on the animal it is mimicking. Choose it for the feel and look of each piece, and the height of the pile and the heft of the throw." Faux fur blankets are versatile pieces. Naiman says to first decide on the effect you want to achieve: “Ask yourself, do I want a soothing piece that beckons me in or a contrasting piece that activates the space? Do I want the fur to stand out or simply blend into the palette of the room and add richness?” If you want something subtle and luxurious, “staying within the color palette of the room will not highlight the fur itself, but it will add richness to the space," Naiman says. On the other hand, you might want your blanket to take center stage. In that case, we offer one word of advice: contrast. Ultimately, no matter whether you’re trying to suggest understated sophistication or achieve a more primal note, a faux fur blanket can improve your interior design. FAQ How do you wash a faux fur blanket? Not all faux fur blankets have the same washing instructions, so it’s crucial to consult the manufacturer’s instructions on the tag. Many faux fur throws are designated dry-clean only, but if your throw is machine washable, you’ll want to select the delicate cycle and fill your machine with cold water and mild detergent. (Top-loading washers are recommended for this large task.) Stick with spot cleaning when you can. Beyond the product’s included instructions, it’s important not to use fabric softeners, which can make faux fur hair stick together. Similarly, avoid detergents that are combined with conditioners. How do you dry a faux fur blanket? Drying your blanket properly also means consulting the manufacturer’s instructions. Often, youcanuse a dryer; however, faux fur blankets absorb a lot of water and you’ll probably need to tumble on low heat or “air fluff,” so be prepared to run more than one cycle. A hairdryer is another potential tool in your arsenal, but you’ll still need to avoid applying heat, so stick with the cool setting. Using good old-fashioned sun, a washing line, and a fan is another solid possibility—although this can be time-consuming, especially if you have an extra-large blanket. Do faux fur blankets shed? Faux fur blankets can shed, but there are a few things you can do to prevent this, saysJen Stark, founder of Happy DIY Home. “First, make sure to choose a blanket made from quality materials that are resistant to shedding,” she explains. “Second, look for a blanket with a thick pile, as this will help to prevent shedding.” Finally, though this may seem counterintuitive, make sure to machine wash the blanket regularly. This helps keep it clean and free of any potential shedding, says Stark. How do you soften a faux fur blanket? So, fabric softener is out of the question. Now what? First, brush your blanket gently. Next, in a spray bottle container, mix a teaspoon of conditioner diluted with 2 cups of water, then spritz your blanket while continuing to brush (gently).
