Best Throws & Blankets — Fleece + Mid-range (2026)

Consider your sofa's dimensions when choosing a fleece throw. A generous 130x180cm throw will drape comfortably over most standard sofas, while smaller throws around 100x150cm are suitable for armchairs or smaller seating areas.

Most of these fleece blankets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softener, as it can reduce the softness over time. Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry for optimal care.

While comfortable, these mid-range fleece throws are primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight may cause fading and damage; however, some designs are treated with a water repellent finish.

Fleece is made from synthetic fibres – typically polyester – which create tiny air pockets that trap heat. This insulation process keeps you significantly warmer than natural fabrics of similar weight, offering excellent thermal comfort.

It's normal for fleece to experience slight shrinkage after its first wash. Washing on a cold cycle and tumble drying on low will minimise this effect. Always check the care label for specific recommendations from the manufacturer.

Yes, we have a range of fleece throws with varying weights – from lightweight options perfect for summer evenings to heavier ones ideal for colder months. The product descriptions will clearly state the GSM (grams per square metre) which indicates the density and warmth.

Many of our mid-range fleece throws are soft and comfortable enough for children, but check the care label carefully before purchasing. Some may have embellishments or dyes that could be harmful if ingested – always supervise young children when they’re using blankets.

You'll find a wide variety of colours and patterns, including classic stripes, geometric designs, solid hues like grey, cream, and navy, as well as bolder options. We regularly update our selection with seasonal trends to ensure you always find something stylish.

To protect the intricate patterns, hand wash your fleece throw gently in cold water with mild detergent and avoid scrubbing vigorously. Alternatively, use a mesh laundry bag during machine washing on a delicate cycle to minimise friction and maintain the design's clarity.

Fleece is generally considered hypoallergenic as it doesn’t harbour dust mites or other allergens like some natural fibres. However, if you have severe allergies, always check the product description to ensure it hasn’t been treated with any chemicals that could trigger a reaction.
