A faux fur blanket has a deep, soft pile made from acrylic or polyester fibers. Styles range from a flat plush to a bubble pattern with high and low waves, to a long pile that looks like animal fur. Thickness matters: GSM is a measure of fabric weight, and a few listings reach 1000.
The six blankets below are mostly throw size, from light bubble fur to a 5 pound heavy throw. Fabrics, sizes, GSM and care come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these blankets ourselves. Anti-shedding wording is the makers’ own and we do not repeat it as fact.
