Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Which throw blanket size is best for a standard UK 3-seater sofa?
The 127 × 152 cm (50″ × 60″) Medium Sofa Throw (£46.99) is ideal for styling across a single cushion section, while the 152 × 203 cm (60″ × 80″) Large Blanket (£54.99) is best if two people want to share it on sofa movie nights.
2. How do you keep a fleece throw blanket from slipping off a leather sofa?
Use the Tailored Third-Fold and tuck 15 cm of the top edge firmly behind the back cushion, or anchor the corner of the throw beneath a heavy 40×40 cm cushion.
3. Are your plush fleece throw blankets machine washable?
Yes—machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat to keep the 300 gsm microfiber pile cloud-soft.
