Amazon Basics Faux Fur Throw Blanket, Not Heated, Grey, 150 x 200 cm

I bought this throw for my new sofa to protect the sofa from my 1 year old holy terror of a cat who hasn't learned not to scratch furniture yet. My other, older cat is trained to only use their scratching posts. Since I have recently moved house money is tight until I finish the house. So, while I actually wanted to buy a Woolen Arran blanket (at almost £120) I bought this Amazon's BASIC throw instead thinking 'well If it doesn't look good the dog can have it to cover his bed'. When it arrived I couldn't believe the quality of it. It is very soft, cosy, larger than expected and I looks really great covering the sofa. It is excellent value for money. The only issue I do have with it is it doesn't hang all the way down to the floor (I have arthritis in my knees so my new sofa is quite high to make it easier for me to get up off) and, while it covers the tops of the arms it doesn't hang down to the floor at the side of the arms ~ but it is STILL larger than I thought it would be ~ so, it is leaving the side of the arms bare and the very front of the sofa bare - and therefore open to attack from Prince Lestat De Lioncourt the cat - I have had to cover these area with another 2 throws that I already had which make if look a it mismatched. That said, I am going to buy another 1 of these same 'Amazon Basic' throws and sew one half of the new one to expand the width and the other half to expand the length. Nobody will know it is 2 throws sewn together because there is no pattern and my mother has a computerised machine that makes sewing thick fabrics like this very easy so, if you don't have that type of sewing machine I would not recommend trying this yourself. It will look exactly the same albeit larger. For a normal height of 3 seater sofa I would not need to do this. It is a pity I have to cover my new sofa AT ALL since it is very stylish and I decorated the living room to match the retro style of the sofa but, this throw is so nice in appearance and so soft that it still looks great. Once my youngest cat has learned not to scratch the sofa I will use it as a bed throw in my guest bedroom. Very happy with my purchase and have no idea why it is labelled as 'Amazon Basics' since it is excellent quality on the front and on the back lining.. I definitely recommend this throw for cosying up on a cold evening , for protecting a chair or sofa and for on a bed in a Boho style bedroom. 5☆

I'm really surprised this is listed as a frequently returned item. I am writing the review now as I am intending to order another couple, having purchased 1 last year to give it a try as a spare for throwing over myself on the couch. I have loads of throws draped for aesthetic purposes but wanted one I could actually use without having to reposition everything and this is beyond what I expected for an Amazon Basic item. It feels so soft and silky, looks much more expensive than it is and is soon warm. I've always shied away from. These types of throws because they can look really cheap in my opinion if not well made. This does not. The issue I have now is that I adopted a cat and she's visited all the throws and claimed this one so I want a couple of spares for me and any visitors over the winter. I would definitely recommend, it adds a touch of luxury for a non luxury price and will become your (and your pets) new fav throw!

Big, heavy, cool and luxurious. Keeps us cool in the summer and cuddly in the winter. Washes very well. In our case had to fight the cat for it

Beautifully soft and luxurious to the touch. Light weight and quite thin but that's fine for me, ideal spring and autumn cover. My main problem is the size, It maybe a king size 150 x 200 but there is no hang over so more a double or large single. For the price it is ok, and makes a good sofa throw rather than a bed cover. Just wanted to add that I have bought another of these :) It is such good value and so nice that I wanted another for my guests when they stay, and I couldn't possibly give them mine......it's mine! Further comment: When I purchased this throw it was £23 and not I see the price has risen to £35 which is a 54% increase, this seems a bit much.

I bought one on the strength of reviews and I was not disappointed. The weight and quality of this blanket are superior to others I’ve looked at for three times the price or more. Exceptional value and a throw or a top layer on a bed. I’d highly recommend this. The size is perfect as a top layer on a uk double size bed. I ordered it in ivory which is a nice neutral colour and goes well with most of my other things. Very soft.

Faux fur throw Just received both and its lovely soft and a velvety backing just the right weight and size great quality I'm very happy thank you

Fantastic blanket, great quality, for the price, looks really nice too, i would definatley buy another, i love it.

I just needed a throw - the evenings are drawing in and I am as tight as a gnat's chuff when it comes to putting the heating on, so with a good throw I should be able to get near to Christmas before my gnarled fingers approach the thermostat. This throw looked okay, was very large, and was cheap, so I spaffed £22 on it and figured it didn't have to be amazing to justify the price. But what I received was SO MUCH better. Akin to a throw my ex-wife bought from John Lewis for £60, except that this one is even softer. Surely it is made of kittens! And big, and weighty, so that it provides a great deal of warmth to go with its softness. It is the sort of opulent throw that would be in a Cadbury's flake advert, with a fine young thing reclined and ready. And, of course, it is pathetically undersold - AmazonBasics is all about okay quality at great prices - I often buy AmazonBasics but not because I get quality like this. This is just terrific. Recommended, obviously
