FAQ
Is polyester warm?
Yes, polyester provides excellent warmth due to its ability to trap air. However, it's not as naturally insulating as wool or down; that’s why these budget options are best suited for mild to moderate temperatures.
How do I wash a polyester throw?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fibres.
Are these throws suitable for children?
While soft and comfortable, it's always important to supervise young children with blankets to prevent suffocation hazards. These are best suited for older children who can be supervised.
Do these throws shed?
Like many polyester fabrics, these throws may experience some shedding initially. Washing them several times will help reduce this significantly. Regular brushing can also assist.
What sizes are available?
Currently, we offer these blankets in Small (50in x 60in), Medium (60in x 80in), and Large (70in x 90in) sizes. Please check the product details for precise dimensions.
Are they hypoallergenic?
Polyester is generally considered hypoallergenic, but individuals with severe allergies may still experience reactions. We recommend checking the fabric composition carefully if you have specific sensitivities.
Can I iron a polyester throw?
Yes, you can iron a polyester throw on a low heat setting, preferably while it's slightly damp. Use a pressing cloth to prevent scorching.
Are these throws durable?
Polyester is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. However, like any fabric, repeated use and improper care can affect longevity; follow the care instructions carefully.
What colours are available?
We currently stock these blankets in a range of contemporary colours including Charcoal Grey, Navy Blue, Blush Pink, Cream White, and Sage Green. Stock levels may vary.
How do I store a polyester throw when not in use?
Store your throw folded neatly or rolled to prevent wrinkles. Avoid storing it in damp environments as this can lead to mildew growth.
