Faux Fur Throw A Gorgeous And Practical Coverlet

By Jose Morris


There is very little on the earth more soft, warm or beautiful than real fur. Since the earliest stirrings of human tribes, animal skins have been utilized to stay warm and cozy in wintertime. Skins have been used as clothes and blankets for many millennia. The modern counterpart of this extremely practical and comfortable cover is a faux fur throw.

Many wild cats, bears and other mammals are now endangered with very few breeding in the wild or zoos. Hunting animals for their pelts is abhorrent to a lot of people and owning a real blanket or garment made of fur is frowned upon in most societies. Thankfully, the modern fibers available can recreate the numerous colors and textures without the need for hunting or farming these beautiful creatures for their hides.

Whether you prefer the pure beauty of polar white or the funky style of a leopard print, imitation fur can look and feel just as good as the real thing. Synthetic fibers emulate the natural hair and create the same amount of warmth with the same soft feel. Such a fabric can be used to cover a couch to make it warm and snuggly in wintertime. While cord is hard-wearing, it does not invite you to cuddle up, the same way as leather is practical but not as soft as a furry blanket.

The range on offer is even wider than nature can provide. Purple polar bears might not exist, but if you love the texture of that fabric and want to match your drapes then there are companies that can fulfill your wish. Many companies have a wide range of styles, colors and sizes to meet all needs. You may be looking for a cover for your sofa, a blanket for a king size bed or even something for your pet to keep them warm in winter.

Even just a quick look on the internet will bring up a number of ranges on offer and give you a guideline for costs. Many of the manufacturers and retailers ship overseas so check costs for shipping when working out the final price. While most sizes are available to suit standard beds or couches, there are also manufacturers who can make your cover bespoke so you will get exactly the shade, size and pattern you want.

Most of the coverlets are backed with a different material than the furry front. There are lots of options to choose from and it is worth taking a little time to think about how you will be using your coverlet. Satin or silk backing may slide off leather while a more durable suede-like fabric is more appropriate for pet bedding.

The absolute ultimate in comfort and warmth is to have a throw which is double-sided. These can be manufactured using the same faux fur on both sides or a complementary one. You could select a leopard print for one side and a plainer chinchilla style for the other side. It is worth noting though that just like the natural counterpart the manmade fabric is quite heavy so when you double the furs, you also double the weight of the finished cover.

Looking after your purchase can normally be easily achieved with dry cleaning or by gentle hand wash. The supplier normally provides care instructions which reflect the exact item you have bought. If you are planning on using your purchase for pet bedding then it is worth picking one that is easy to wash in a machine using a gentle setting such as the wool cycle.
