Weighted faux fur blankets for comfort on hard days

About Pookie Originals
Pookie Originals makes faux fur blankets sold under a single fabric name, SnuggleStretch™, aimed at anyone after something heavier and softer than a standard throw for the sofa or bed. The brand was founded by Alice, who wanted a blanket that felt more grounding after a difficult stretch involving redundancy and burnout.
The range consists of one core product, the SnuggleStretch™ Blanket, offered across a rotating set of named colourways rather than separate models. Current and recurring shades include Dame Kat Slater in leopard print, Out Of Office in taupe, A Blighty Summer in a grey and white blend, Burnt-Out Millennial in tan and cream, Sunday Scaries in brown, The Moira Rose in pink and Very Demure in beige. Each is double-sided, faux fur on both faces, with a four-way stretch built in for draping over a body or a sofa arm rather than lying flat like a conventional throw.
Manufacturing detail is not published, but the fabric itself is described as an in-house development rather than a bought-in material, engineered for weight and minimal shedding compared with standard faux fur. Pookie Originals sells directly through its own website, is registered as a trading name of Purposeful Brands Limited, and is based in London.

Questions about Pookie Originals
What is the SnuggleStretch fabric used in Pookie blankets?
SnuggleStretch is Pookie Originals' own engineered fabric that combines ultra-soft faux fur with a four-way stretch. It is designed to offer gentle weight and breathable warmth across all the brand's blankets.
Will my Pookie Originals blanket shed faux fur?
The double-sided fabric sheds only minimally, with perhaps a little shedding noticed at first that lessens with use. It is designed to remain soft and full even after repeated washing.
How do I wash my Pookie Originals blanket?
The blanket is machine washable but should be washed separately from other items on a cold wash, then air dried only. A tumble dry on the fluff or air setting with no heat can help restore fluffiness.
Will sold-out Pookie Originals colours come back in stock?
Popular colours can sell out quickly, and while Pookie Originals restocks loved shades where possible, it also introduces new colours regularly. Signing up to emails is the way to be notified when a colour returns.
How long does Pookie Originals delivery take?
Pookie Originals aims to dispatch orders within two to four working days using Royal Mail Tracked 48 hour delivery. The overall aim is to get orders to customers within five business days of ordering, though busy periods may cause delays.
Does Pookie Originals ship outside the UK?
Pookie Originals currently ships to the USA via DHL Express, taking around five to eight working days, with duties and taxes covered by the brand. Other international destinations are being added, and availability is shown at checkout.
How do I return a Pookie Originals blanket?
Customers have 14 days after receiving an item to request a return and a further 14 days to send it back, provided the item is unused and in its original packaging. Returns must be authorised by email before sending, and a tracked, insured service is recommended since items are the customer's liability in transit.
Who pays for return postage on a Pookie Originals order?
If the item is faulty, Pookie Originals covers all return costs, but for other returns the customer is responsible for the cost of sending the item back. A tracked and insured service is recommended in both cases.
What happens if my Pookie Originals order arrives damaged?
Customers should inspect their order on arrival and contact Pookie Originals immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or wrong, so the issue can be evaluated. In these cases the brand covers all related costs.
