All of the softness, none of the animal cruelty.

POV: It's a chilly fall night, you do an Irish goodbye from the bar that you didn't really want to go to in the first place, and you finally make it back to your humble abode where you instantly remove both your tight pants and your dry contacts. You take a hot shower to wash away the day, and snuggle up on the couch with your cuddle buddy. No, it's not a person. It's your faux fur blanket, and you love it more than you could any human being. You experience bliss in its purest form.

If that ^ got you feeling some type of way, it might be time to invest in your own emotional support faux fur blanket (a bit of a mouthful, yes, but it's a thing). These super-thick, hella-cozy throws are designed to look and feel like the softest of animal pelts, but are completely synthetic and therefore cruelty free. Which we l-o-v-e!

If you think your bed/couch/office chair/literally any space in your home could benefit from the addition of a faux fur blanket (news flash: it could), you've come to the right place, because I've rounded up the best of the best that your hard-earned money can buy. Here's a lil sneak peek before we get into the good stuff:

Tempted? I know I am. Scroll down and prepare to hibernate.

It may be more accurate to call this a cloud rather than a blanket. I mean, really—look how gosh darn fluffy she is! This blanket is a little on the expensive side, but it looks waaay more expensive than it is. It was also made using soft and silky hypoallergic fibers that are actually breathable, so you won't overheat if you decide to take a nap under it (as unbelievable as that may be).

Size: 50" x 60"

Colorways: ivory (pictured), nickel, and mushroom

This cozy throw is one of Pottery Barn's best sellers, and for good reason: it's potentially the softest thing your skin will ever feel. Not only is it incredibly thick and silky smooth, but it's also "ruched for a cascading ripple effect," according to the product listing. And while it's technically not a weighted blanket, it is pretty hefty thanks to the substantial ultra-plush pile.

Size: 50" x 60"

Colorways: ivory (pictured), grey, grey ombre, caramel ombre, tobacco, black, steel blue

I mean, I'd pop this 15 lb. bad boy on my couch based on the aesthetics alone, but did you know weighted blankets can actually be good for your health? Research has shown that weighted blankets can relax the nervous system, in turn helping to improve sleep, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. So yeah, I'll take two of this cutie (which is also really large and super fluffy)!

Size: 60" x 80"

Colorways: cream (pictured), dusty rose, grey, pink, slate blue, Moroccan grey, Moroccan teal, Moroccan white

If you've never cuddled up under a heated blanket, you've never experienced true bliss. Sorry, not sorry. With just the push of a button (which is discretely located on one of the corners), this baby starts getting toasty—kinda like a nice hot bath at the end of the night, but without having to wait for your tub to fill up. There are five heat settings, so you can find the perfect temperature for you, and a function that makes sure it turns off after two hours (because yeah, it's going to put you to sleep).

Size: 50" x 64"

Colorways: snow leopard (pictured), grey, tan

Sometimes you want to add a new piece or two to cozy things up for fall but don't want to spend a million dollars, ya feel? Of course, Homegoods always has our backs in these situations, and this super-soft blanket is a super affordable way to make any room feel cozier in a snap. It's also available in a variety of pastel colors, so it'll fit the vibe right into spring.

Size: 50" x 70"

Colorways: mauve (pictured), blue, blush, purple

There are situations where you can have too much of a good thing, but this isn't one of them. This almost-too-soft-to-be-true blanket is almost seven-feet long and five-feet wide, making it perfect to snuggle up under with a partner (or two). Throw it on your couch, bed, or office chair, or simply wrap yourself up like a human burrito and wear it around the house for the ultimate cozy vibes.

Size: 60" x 80"

Colorways: solid ivory (pictured), blue, camel, marbled grey, marbled ivory, solid grey

We already knew that Ayesha Curry has great taste in men and home decor, but who knew her faux fur blanket game was this strong?! This throw shows off one of the biggest trends of the moment—tie dye—in a way that's way less "childhood craft" and way more "high design." And for just under $40 a pop? You should probably buy one in each of the three colors.

Size: 50" x 60"

Colorways: cream (pictured), blue, grey

Animal prints are cute, but they're even cuter when they're free of cruelty. If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to cuddle up to a literal snow leopard, snuggling up in this blanket is probably as close as you'll ever get—it's soft, thick, and incredibly warm. The pattern is also subtle and muted, so it won't clash with your couch/pillows/entire apartment aesthetic.

Size: 48" x 80"

Colorways: snow leopard (pictured)

Size

To share or not to share, that is the question. If you have a partner or kids at home, chances are you're going to want to buy a faux fur blanket that takes up a decent amount of surface area, so you can snuggle up. We noted which blankets are perfect for a partner, above.

Breathability

If you're in the market for a faux fur blanket, chances are you're looking for something that can keep ya warm and toasty. However, if you're looking for a faux fur blanket because of the style and actually would prefer not to overheat, there are also options for you. Hit up the pros and cons sections to see which blankets have breathable fibers.

Laundry instructions

Let's be honest: if something is "dry clean only," there's a solid chance it will literally never be washed. Ever. Luckily, there are some faux fur blankets out there that can actually be machine washed—and even some that can also be machine dried. We noted which blankets are easy on the laundry care in the pros and cons sections.
