Faux Fur Throw A Gorgeous And Practical Coverlet

By Jose Morris


There is little in the world softer, warmer or more beautiful than fur. Since the early beginnings of humankind animal pelts have been used to keep warm and snug against winter weather. Hides have been used as clothing and blankets for thousands of years. The modern equivalent of this practical and comfortable covering 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.

Nature gives us a huge variety of furs from the lush colorings of a tiger to the pearly beauty of a chinchilla; however technology can give us an even greater range. Choose to match your furry comforter to your drapery and you might find that blue tigers do not exist but you can get what you want with an imitation fabric. There are companies who have extensive ranges of styles, sizes and colors to meet your every need. You could even get a small version to match to keep your four-legged friends warm and cozy too.

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.

Along with the wide variety of patterns and colors, the backing for your blanket can also vary. Some are backed with the finest satins or silks, while others have more durable suede-like fabric. Take time to think where you will use your purchase and whether it will need regular cleaning.

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.

Taking care of your purchase can easily be achieved by dry cleaning or gentle hand washing. Your supplier should provide care instructions depending on the exact model you have chosen. If you are going to use your purchase as a pet bed it is worth selecting one that can easily be machine washed on a gentle setting as pet bedding often requires more frequent washing.
