Heated throws / Roundup
Faux fur heated blankets
The heaviest pile in the category, the one fabric that sheds, and the five listings that tell you very different amounts about what you are buying.
We earn a commission on some links here, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend or the order the picks appear in. How we are funded.
The Bedsure Fluffy Bubble is the pick and it is not close on the numbers: 650 GSM of faux rabbit fur, the heaviest fabric figure anywhere in our registry, and a published 100 W, which makes it the only faux fur throw in the category you can cost before buying. The Westinghouse is the alternative that publishes GSM on both faces plus ETL and FCC. The MAXEVE is the one that states a temperature range. Two of the five publish no fabric weight at all.

650 GSM of faux rabbit fur over a 200 GSM velvet back, and still a published 100 W. The thickest fabric we have recorded anywhere, from the only brand that prints a draw on everything.
Where the wattage comes fromThe listing states a power rating of 100 W on a standard 120 V AC, 60 Hz outlet. Bedsure publishes a figure on every product we track and this faux fur throw is no exception.
100 W x 8 h = 0.80 kWh, x $0.1834/kWh = $0.15 per night

What it does well
- Publishes 100 W, so the running cost is knowable — nothing else in faux fur does
- 650 GSM face, the heaviest fabric figure in our whole registry
- ETL certified with the brand's 74-test figure stated
- Six heat levels and six timer steps on a single controller
Where it falls short
- No warranty term, which is true of every Bedsure product we track
- The listing tells you not to sleep on top of it, which rules out one common use
- A 650 GSM pile is a lot of blanket to get into a domestic washing machine
- Eight hours is the shortest ceiling of the faux fur options here
Who this is forSomeone who wants the deepest pile available and still wants to know what it costs to run.
Skip it ifSkip it if you want to sleep under it all night. The maker says not to lie on top of it and the timer stops at eight hours.

Who this is forSomeone who wants the look of a fur throw and will accept shedding to get it.
Skip it ifSkip it if you want low maintenance. Air-dry only plus early shedding is more upkeep than any other throw here asks for.
How we ranked these
- Published pile weight first. GSM is the only fabric figure anyone in this category prints, and on a fur-pile product it is the difference between plush and thin.
- Then shedding, because it is the complaint about this fabric and exactly one listing in our whole registry volunteers it.
- Then the ordinary specs: wattage where it exists, certification, heat settings and the shut-off ceiling.
- Not ranked on softness. Every listing claims it, nobody can check it from a spec sheet, and we have not handled these.
- Not assessed: how the pile holds up over a winter. No maker publishes a durability figure and we have not run one through a year of washes.
We have not handled these products and we do not claim to have. The full method, including the rubric weights and what we refuse to claim, is on our methodology page.
The pile weight ladder, and how wide it is
Faux fur is sold on feel, which is why most listings describe it with adjectives. Three of these five put a number on it instead, and the spread between them is larger than anything we have recorded in any other fabric.
| Throw | Face | Backing | Rated watts | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedsure Fluffy Bubble | 650 GSM faux rabbit fur | 200 GSM milk velvet | 100 W | ETL |
| MAXEVE faux rabbit fur | 380 GSM faux rabbit fur | 220 GSM sherpa | Not published | UL and FCC |
| Westinghouse faux fur | 350 GSM faux fur | 180 GSM sherpa | Not published | ETL and FCC |
| Beautyrest Zuri | Not published | Not published | Not published | UL |
| Serta shaggy faux fur | Not published | Not published | Not published | ETL |
Quoted from each listing's own feature bullets, read through the Amazon Creators API on 2026-10-03 (Serta on 2026-09-21). For scale, the heaviest flannel face we have recorded on a bed blanket is 290 GSM.
650 GSM is roughly twice the heaviest flannel in our set. That is the entire argument for this fabric: a heavy pile is warm before you switch it on and holds the heat the element produces, so it reaches a comfortable temperature at a lower setting. We are not going to put a number on that saving, because quantifying it would mean measuring throws we do not have, but the direction is not in question and it is the same argument we make on fleece, flannel, sherpa or plush.
The two listings that publish nothing are not necessarily thin — the Beautyrest Zuri in particular is a familiar brand at a larger 50 by 70 size. They are simply products you cannot compare on fabric, which on a page about fabric is the relevant fact.
The thing the fabric does that nobody wants to discuss
Long-pile faux fur sheds. Anyone who has owned one knows it; almost no listing says it. Across every product in our registry, exactly one volunteers it, and it is the Serta shaggy throw, whose own first bullet states that the fabric will naturally shed within the first few washes and tells you to air-dry rather than tumble.
The MAXEVE goes the other way and claims its design resists shedding. That is a claim rather than a measurement — there is no test, no standard and no figure attached to it — so we record it as what the maker says and no more. The other three say nothing in either direction. Our honest read: assume some shedding in the first washes on any long-pile product, follow whatever drying instruction the maker gives, and treat the Serta's candor as a reason to trust the rest of its listing rather than a reason to avoid the blanket.
One of the five publishes a wattage, and it is the heaviest one
The Bedsure states 100 W on a standard 120 V outlet, which works out at about 15 cents for an eight-hour run at the current US average rate, or under two cents an hour for a four-hour evening on the sofa. The other four publish nothing, so no running cost exists for them and we will not invent one.
That the thickest blanket here is also the one with the lowest-sounding draw is worth a sentence, because it is counter-intuitive. Rated wattage tracks the length and design of the heating element, not the fabric wrapped around it. A heavier pile does not cost more to run; if anything it lets you run a lower setting. The arithmetic is on what an electric blanket costs per night.
Washing a fur-pile blanket is where they differ most
All five detach the controller first, which is universal. After that the instructions diverge sharply: Westinghouse specifies a 30 C wash and no dry cleaning, bleaching or ironing. Bedsure and MAXEVE state machine washable with a gentle cycle, MAXEVE adding low-heat drying for the sherpa back. Serta says air dry rather than tumble, specifically to limit shedding.
Read that as a spec rather than boilerplate. A 650 GSM pile holds a great deal of water, and a blanket that must be air-dried is a blanket out of action for a day or two in midwinter. The general rules, including the one that destroys heated blankets, are on how to wash a heated blanket.
Where each pick is the wrong buy
- Bedsure Fluffy Bubble — the heaviest pile and the only published wattage, on an 8-hour ceiling and with no warranty term stated.
- Westinghouse — GSM on both faces plus ETL and FCC, and a warranty it mentions without ever naming a term.
- MAXEVE — a published 86-113 F range and a 19-foot cord, from a brand with no model history and a shedding claim nobody has tested.
- Beautyrest Zuri — ten inches longer than a standard throw and UL certified, on the least informative listing of the five.
- Serta shaggy — the only maker honest about shedding, and it is air-dry only with five settings and a three-hour ceiling.
We have not handled any of these blankets, felt the pile or washed one. Everything above is quoted from what each maker publishes, which is the whole method and is written out on our methodology page.
Questions people actually ask
- Do faux fur heated blankets shed?
- Long-pile faux fur generally sheds in its first few washes, and one listing in our whole registry says so itself: the Serta shaggy throw states it plainly and recommends air drying rather than tumble drying. One other claims its design resists shedding, with no test behind the claim. The rest say nothing.
- What is the thickest heated blanket you can buy?
- Of everything we track, the Bedsure Fluffy Bubble faux fur throw publishes the heaviest face fabric at 650 GSM, roughly twice the heaviest flannel we have recorded on a bed blanket. Thickness is only comparable where a maker publishes GSM, and two of the five faux fur throws here publish none.
- How much does a faux fur heated blanket cost to run?
- Only one publishes the figure needed to answer that. The Bedsure states 100 W, which is about 15 cents for eight hours at the current US average rate. The other four state no wattage, so no honest running cost exists for them.
- Can you wash a faux fur electric blanket?
- Yes, with the controller detached first, but check the drying instruction before you buy. Westinghouse specifies a 30 C wash, Bedsure and MAXEVE state a gentle machine cycle, and Serta says to air dry rather than tumble in order to limit shedding.
- Is faux fur warmer than flannel on a heated blanket?
- A heavier pile holds heat better with the power off, and faux fur is the heaviest pile in the category. Nobody publishes a measurement comparing the two, so we will not claim a figure. What is checkable is weight: 650 GSM faux fur against a 290 GSM heaviest flannel.
