Shade of color is off a bit….
Color: Browngrey, Size: Throw-50"x60", Color: Browngrey, Size: Throw-50"x60"
I ordered two blankets to replace the queen size blanket I had originally, one being a throw blanket for the chase portion of the couch and the larger twin size blanket for the back rest of the couch. PROS: the blankets are beautiful!! They’re soft and luxurious with fluffy fur on one side and a velvety smooth mushroom/sage color on the other side. The sizes work perfectly together giving good coverage for such a large couch. I haven’t had any issues with shedding which was my concern. Washability seems easy enough. I’m gonna have to be careful with the drying process as to not damage the synthetic fibers.
CONS: the color…. It’s not what was advertised at all. I ordered the brown/grey. what I got was more of a SANDY TAN/DARK GREY. (They use a color filter on the example photos which doesn’t translate well in person) At first I hated the color but it slowly grew on me! Works well with the rest of the living room decor and gives our space a cozy elegant vibe. I included photos of different times throughout the day to showcase how different lighting affects the color of the fur.

10/10
Color: Browngrey, Size: Queen-80"x80"
Honestly I love this blanket and want to buy a few more.
Its thick & warm like it could be real fur.
I just don’t know how to wash it but thats a given for faux fur.
I bought the queen & it fits perfectly on my bed. I have started using it as a couch cover during the winter and it is very comfortable & soft.

Nice after fluffing & brushing
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
Thought it was scruffy and not soft enough but followed the directs to fluff and wait 24 hours, which helped. The kicker was brushing out the rough spots with a hair brush. Lovely now and definitely a bargain comparatively.

This is What You Need on Those Cold Winter Nights!
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
This Touchat 1000GSM Faux Fur Throw Blanket is absolutely incredible and one of the softest, coziest blankets I’ve ever owned! The thickness and quality are immediately noticeable the moment you touch it. It feels luxuriously plush, warm, and incredibly comforting.
The faux fur texture is beautiful and looks very high-end, adding a stylish and elegant touch to the room while also being amazingly functional for cold nights. The blanket has a nice heavy weight to it that makes it feel extra cozy and relaxing without being too overwhelming.
I love curling up with this blanket while watching TV, reading, or sleeping. It provides outstanding warmth and comfort and feels like wrapping yourself in pure softness. Even after use, it maintains its fluffy texture and doesn’t shed like some faux fur blankets do.
The quality truly exceeded my expectations. The stitching is well done, the material feels durable, and it looks far more expensive than it actually is. It would also make an amazing gift because it feels so luxurious and comforting.
Highly recommend this blanket to anyone wanting something extra warm, thick, soft, and beautiful for their home. Absolutely worth every penny!
