Is this throw warm enough to sleep under?

It adds warmth as a layer on top of bedding, but the polyester pile traps heat and does not breathe like cotton or wool. It works best as an accent or a lap throw, not as your only blanket on a cold night.

Can it be machine washed?

Treat it as gentle-care: cold water on a delicate cycle or hand wash, then air dry. Heat and tumbling rough up the faux fur and cause matting, so skip the dryer.

Will it shed on my clothes and sofa?

New faux fur often sheds loose fibers for the first few uses. Shake it out outdoors and brush the pile lightly; shedding usually settles after a few weeks.

What size is it and where does it fit?

It measures 50 by 60 inches, a standard throw size. That covers a lap and most armchairs, and drapes across the foot of a queen or king bed.

How does it compare with a fleece or knit throw?

It is softer and more decorative than fleece, but fleece and knit throws wash better and breathe more. Choose this one for looks and texture, fleece for everyday durability.
