There’s a reason this West Elm Faux Fur Brushed Tips Throw is raved about by everyone who gets their hands on it. Not only is it going to be the softest thing you’ve ever touched but each blanket is made of ombre colored faux-fur so it totally looks like the real deal. Both colors (cream and gray) are the ideal neutral tones to match your space’s décor regardless of your home’s décor. Bonus points: West Elm also has matching blanket and pillow sets, so you can spread the coziness throughout your entire home.
Regardless of your home’s aesthetic, this Pottery Barn Faux Fur Ruched Throw Blanket has loads of different colors and textures to choose from, so you’re bound to find one that fits your vibe. From black and brown-toned faux chinchilla hair to a crisp, white alpaca, each blanket looks and feels like the real deal. The fabric’s blend of modacrylic and polyester is super durable (and soft), and it comes in three sizes, so you can find one that’s right for you.
If you’re on the lookout for a faux fur throw that’s going to withstand multiple cuddle seshes, your kiddo's pillow and blankie forts, coffee spills and wash cycles, all without costing a small fortune, then the Tuddrom Store Faux Fur Throw Blanket is your best bet. It’s made with strong, 100 percent polyester and held together with ultra-durable stitching, so you won't have to worry about this guy coming apart at the seams. Did we mention that this guy is fade- and shed-resistant? All this durability and coziness for the bargain price the $22—now that’s hard to beat.
Velvety soft and so thick and cozy, snuggling up with the Pinzon Faux Fur Throw Blanket on the couch is for sure going to become the best part of your day. Its two-sided design offers luxe faux fur on the front and an ultra-soft microfiber backside, while the different color options are crafted to emulate the look and feel of real fur. But the coolest thing about this one is that each blanket is individually dyed, meaning no two are alike. Just think of it as the snowflake of throws.
If you’ve ever wished to have a blanket that mimics the feel of your fave UGG slippers, this one is for you. One side of the UGG Firn Faux Fur Throw Blanket offers silky-smooth faux fur, while the other is made up of a micro mink fabric, resulting in a throw that is both parts stylish and extra soft. And we know that the price point isn’t necessarily the smallest number you’ve ever seen, but a blanket that feels this luxurious makes this pick undeniably worth it. Think of it as the ultimate self-care gift to yourself: You deserve it.
This Pottery Barn Nottingham Faux Fur Plaid Throw mixes things up with a faux fur side that’s accompanied by a plaid design on the front, resulting in a throw that is going to make it feel like you’re in a woodland cabin even if you’re holed up in a metropolitan apartment. Plus, there are three different colorways to choose from: a classically cozy red and black, a grey and red, and a white and grey option.
If you love the look of fur blankets but not the process required to make them, this Graced Soft Luxuries Oversized Faux Fur Throw Blanket looks and feels the part, without any real fur involved. This synthetic throw has a realistic appearance to it, accompanied with the softness, comfort and quality of fur sans the unfriendly production required to make them. It measures 60 inches x 80 inches, which makes it the perfect size for couches and beds alike. We especially love its unique marbled colors and that it's machine washable.
Regardless of your home’s aesthetic, this style has loads of different colors and textures to choose from, so you’re bound to find one that fits your vibe. Available in both 60 inches x 50 inches and 70 inches by 50 inches, The Connecticut Home Company Faux Fur Bed Throw Blanket has nearly 40 color options. From a beige tie dye to a vibrant purple shag, each blanket looks and feels like the real deal. Plus, you’ll love the extra-soft material that provides warmth while still being breathable enough that you won't overheat during toastier months.
When we see the words “weighted” and “faux fur” in the same sentence, we know that the comfort level is going to be off the charts. We love weighted blankets for their ability to relieve stress and help you sleep better. Upping the ante with a weighted throw in ultra-plush faux fur makes things even better. The oversized Uttermara Faux Fur Weighted Blanket with faux-sherpa lining feels like you’re wrapped up in a cloud of cruelty-free goodness. It comes in 15 or 20 pounds, but if you aren’t sure which is best, choosing the one that’s roughly 10 percent of your body weight will be the perfect fit. Our only con is that it isn’t machine washable, making spot removal a little bit tricky, but a throw this comfortable makes it worth it.
There is something about a long pile faux fur blanket that feels so luxurious. We love the Horimote Long Pile Faux Fur Blanket for its shaggy fur, accompanied with a faux suede backside that is going to make leaving your bed in the morning much more difficult. Choose from the array of colors: pink, brown, gray, gold, white and peacock, and drape this bad boy over the back of your couch for a chic addition that instantly makes the room feel so much cozier.
When you think of a fur blanket, bold, bright hues probably don’t come to mind. Think again. If you’re looking to brighten up your space with a pop of color, you can’t go wrong with one of these vibrant Anthropologie Sophie Faux Fur Throw Blankets. This option offers a plush, simple design that has a realistic fur texture but comes in a range of fun colors that are free of gross, harmful dyes and are eco-friendly. Win!
If you want to cut a colder day's chill with a furry throw but don’t want to overheat, the Threshold Ruched Faux Rabbit Fur Throw is the way to go. It’s made with plush fabric that looks and feels like fur but is still lightweight enough to keep you from sweating through your sheets at night. It offers three different colors—neutral, cream and gray—that will coordinate with everything in your bedroom and the simple style helps give your dwelling an extra homey touch.
With thick, micro-woven fibers and three heat settings, the cozy Hyde Lane Faux Fur Electric Throw is bound to keep you warm on the chilliest of nights. Not only is the heat meant to keep you comfortable, but it may also help you manage body aches and pains, since heat dilates the blood vessels to promote circulation. You can also easily control the heat of your electric blanket with a handy LED controller.
There are six vibrant, funky colors to choose from here, all of them reminiscent of tie-dye. We're betting it's just the accessory to bring your kid's bedroom together. One side of the Cocoplay W Faux Fur Throw Blanket is made of faux fur, while the other is shu velveteen; both materials are lightweight, durable and super plush, so your child will stay warm and cozy without overheating. The blanket is also meant to last, since the material is shrink-resistant, anti-fade, wrinkle-free and anti-pilling—even after multiple rides in the washing machine.
