Question 1

Is faux fur as warm as real fur or wool?

Accepted Answer

For most uses, yes — modern faux fur is engineered to trap air the same way natural fur does, which is what creates the warmth. The plush and luxury pieces in this collection insulate better than most wool throws, though they are heavier per warmth-unit than cashmere or alpaca. The trade-off is breathability: faux fur is the warmest fiber here, but the least breathable.

Question 2

How is faux fur made? Is it sustainable?

Accepted Answer

Faux fur is woven from synthetic fibers — typically acrylic or polyester — knit and finished to mimic the look and feel of natural pelts. The recycled faux fur pieces in this collection use post-consumer recycled polyester, which keeps plastic waste out of landfills and reduces the production footprint compared to virgin synthetic. Look for "Recycled" in the product name.

Question 3

How do I wash a faux fur throw?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener and bleach — both can mat the fibers permanently. Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting (or air dry) and shake the throw out periodically so the fibers fluff back up. Faux fur does not handle high heat — never wash hot or dry on high.

Question 4

Will the faux fur shed?

Accepted Answer

A small amount of shedding is normal in the first week or two as loose surface fibers work free — this stops once the surface settles. Heavy or continuous shedding usually means the throw was washed on too high a heat or with fabric softener. Stick to cold-gentle wash, low-heat dry, and the throw will hold its plush surface for years.

Question 5

Are faux fur throws pet-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — faux fur is one of the more pet-friendly throw fibers because it washes well, holds up to regular use, and does not absorb pet odors the way wool or cotton can. The trade-off is that pet hair clings to faux fur more visibly than to flat-weave fabrics. A lint roller or rubber pet-hair brush handles routine cleanup between washes.

Question 6

Should I treat a throw blanket like a sofa accessory or a bed layer?

Accepted Answer

Both — a well-sized throw drapes across the foot of the bed or the arm of a sofa, and the same piece can move between rooms as seasons change. Throw blankets are smaller than bed blankets (typically 50" x 60" to 60" x 80"), so they suit single-person warmth and decorative styling. For full bed coverage, choose a bed-sized blanket instead.
