The 12 Best Faux Fur Blankets of 2024
Faux fur blankets are a great addition to any living room or bedroom—they’re super cozy to snuggle up with, and they add a luxe touch to your space. The best faux fur blankets will cloak you in soft, warm comfort without being scratchy or shedding everywhere, and they come in all kinds of styles, ranging from colorful to realistic.
“If you want a more ‘real’ look, going with a blanket with more pattern or variation will look better than, say, a solid color,” says Alicia Cheung and Eva Bradley of Studio Heimat. “Beyond that, I would pick a pattern that complements the color scheme in your room or home.”
To determine our top picks, we extensively researched faux fur blankets considering factors like material, style, size, and care to assemble an array that’s chic and realistic. We also consulted Cheung and Bradley for expert tips on how to shop for faux fur blankets.

It's machine-washable and comes in three sizes.

It may be too heavy for some people’s tastes.
The UnHide Marshmallow stands out for its extreme softness, warmth, and comforting weight. This faux fur blanket is made out of 90% recycled materials that are designed to resemble chinchilla fur, but it’s cruelty-free.
UnHide’s faux fur blanket is machine-washable, so it’s a great companion for movie nights and breakfast in bed since spills can be cleaned up easily. Plus, the polyester fabric fibers are very durable: They don’t shed or clump (even after a long night of watching TV on the couch), and they don’t attract pet hair, either. Plus, the reverse side of the blanket has a velvet-like finish that feels silky against your skin.
This blanket is definitely on the heavier side: It’s made with thick fabric that weighs nearly 10 pounds, and it measures 60 x 80 inches. Its size can make it a bit hard to fold and store, but the heftiness makes it super comforting to curl up with this blanket, perhaps in your reading nook, and be completely enveloped in fuzzy fabric. For this reason, the UnHide Marshmallow may not be the right fit for anyone looking for a lightweight blanket.
Dimensions: 50 x 60 inches, 60 x 80 inches, 90 x 108 inches | Material: Recycled polyester | Machine Washable: Yes

The fabric is ruched, which gives it some extra style.

It’s prone to shedding after being washed.
If you've been searching for a plush faux fur blanket that doesn't break the bank, consider the Better Homes & Gardens Ruched Faux Fur Throw Blanket. (Better Homes & Gardens is owned by Wade Review’s parent company, Dotdash Meredith.) Its fluffy fabric has a ruched texture that adds some extra style to your sofa, and it's available in four color options to match your space.
This throw blanket has a lot of things going for it outside of its price. For one, it’s unbelievably soft and cuddly, perfect for curling up on the couch after a long day. While some faux fur blankets are heavy and difficult to store, this one is lightweight while still being cozy. Note that this blanket only comes in one 50 x 60 inch size, so it may be too small if you were hoping to use it as a bed blanket.
This blanket is machine-washable for easy cleaning, but since it’s not the most high-quality pick, you may notice shedding and other sides of wear from your washing machine. Still, if you don’t mind giving it a little extra TLC, this blanket is a stylish way to add some extra coziness to your home.
