Product Insights
The Simons Maison Contrasting Trim Polar Fleece Throw, at $25, offers a longer length (180 cm) and decorative trim not found in cheaper mass-market fleeces, made from 100% reprocessed polyester that matches virgin fleece in warmth, moisture wicking, and durability while using 45–85% less energy and emitting 30–60% fewer CO₂ emissions. However, it may pill over time and shed loose fibers initially, which can be managed by pre-washing, using a Guppyfriend bag or filter, air-drying, and cold water wash.
- Length
180 cm long, outmeasuring comparable throws by 10–30 cm.
Why this is supported
At 180 cm, this throw is longer than Simons' Solid Fleece (
Solid fleece throw 130 x 150 cm Simons Maison
modesens.com) and High Pile (
High pile fleece throw 130 x 160 cm Simons Maison

- Value
At $25, it offers longer length and decorative trim absent from £5 mass-market fleeces.
Why this is supported
At $25, this throw is priced between Simons' $20 Solid Fleece (
Solid fleece throw 130 x 150 cm Simons Maison
modesens.com) and $28 High Pile Fleece (

How this throw stacks up against similar budget options — ikea_daggk_por_and_dunelm_soft_fleece_baselineThis throw's contrasting blanket-weave trim and embroidered logo are unique design elements that position it as a decorative accent piece.
While this throw costs $25 CAD and is made from 100% reprocessed polyester, conventional polyester fleece throws from mass retailers are priced at

- Material
100% reprocessed polyester with equal durability, warmth, and moisture management to virgin fleece.
Why this is supported
The recycled polyester fiber has a significantly lower environmental impact:
Recycled polyester (rPET) uses 45–85% less energy and produces 30–60% fewer CO₂ emissions than virgin polyester, according to life cycle assessments reviewed by Periyasamy & Militky (2020).
natuclothes.comAt the same time, mechanical testing confirms that
R-PET fabric showed very positive results in the tensile strength, abrasion resistance that provided promising potential to be used as a new feedstock for technical textiles, as well as fashion clothing.
irispublishers.com, so durability is not compromised. For warmth, the pile construction

Moisture management works identically. Wicking speed, dry time, breathability — all within 2-3% of virgin poly performance.
ty-fashion.comHowever, like all fleece, it sheds microplastics:
Release of fibers during tumble drying was approx. 3.5 times higher than during washing
link.springer.com, though using a Guppyfriend bag can trap 86% of fibers. Additionally,

- Warmth
Warmth matches virgin-polyester fleece of same pile height.
Why this is supported
Research from textile experts shows that warmth in fleece comes from the air trapped in its pile, not from the fiber origin.
Warmth without weight: The pile traps air, providing insulation with less bulk than many natural fibers.
textilsl.comThis means a recycled-polyester throw insulates identically to a virgin-fiber fleece of the same pile height.
- Moisture wicking
Wicks moisture and dries within 2–3% of virgin polyester.
Why this is supported
Performance testing confirms that moisture management in recycled polyester is virtually identical to virgin polyester.
Moisture management works identically. Wicking speed, dry time, breathability — all within 2-3% of virgin poly performance.
ty-fashion.comThis throw therefore keeps you dry as effectively as a virgin-fiber fleece.
- Durability
Tensile strength and abrasion resistance are on par with virgin polyester.
Why this is supported
Mechanical testing of recycled polyester fabric shows it performs comparably to virgin polyester.
R-PET fabric showed very positive results in the tensile strength, abrasion resistance that provided promising potential to be used as a new feedstock for technical textiles, as well as fashion clothing.
irispublishers.comThis throw can withstand everyday use without thinning or tearing.
- Environmental impact
Uses 45–85% less energy and produces 30–60% fewer CO₂ emissions than virgin polyester.
Why this is supported
Life-cycle assessments show that recycled polyester has a significantly lower environmental footprint.
Recycled polyester (rPET) uses 45–85% less energy and produces 30–60% fewer CO₂ emissions than virgin polyester, according to life cycle assessments reviewed by Periyasamy & Militky (2020).

- Care
Wash in cold water, avoid fabric softeners, tumble dry low to maintain softness.
Why this is supported
The product's Q&A states that you should
wash in cold water and avoid fabric softeners; tumble dry on low heat to maintain softness.

plasticsoupfoundation.orgPrewashing the throw three to five times removes manufacturing residue, as studies confirm that
the amount of microplastic fibers released from the fleece fabric increased continuously until the third to fifth washing cycle, after which the released amount was nearly constant.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govTogether, these practices keep the blanket softer and longer-lasting.
- Pilling
Some pilling may occur over time as this throw is not anti-pill.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified this from the product Q&A:
The product is not labeled as anti-pill, so some pilling may occur over time.
How well does the polar fleece resist pilling after multiple washes?- Shedding
Loose fibers shed during the first few washes; wash separately before first use.
Why this is supported
According to the manufacturer,
Polar fleece can shed some loose fibers during the first few washes due to the brushed surface, but this typically decreases after initial laundering. We recommend washing separately before first use to remove excess lint.
Does this throw shed lint or fibers, especially during the first few washes?Research explains this is due to manufacturing residue:
- Microplastic reduction
Shedding is reduced by pre-washing 3–5 times, using a Guppyfriend bag or PlanetCare filter, air-drying, and using liquid detergent.
Why this is supported
Research confirms that microplastic shedding from fleece is highest in the first 3–5 washes due to manufacturing residue:
The standard and new methods confirmed that the amount of microplastic fibers released from the fleece fabric increased continuously until the third to fifth washing cycle, after which the released amount was nearly constant. Furthermore, a large proportion of the released microplastic fibers was shown to have originated as residue from the manufacturing process.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govTumble drying releases about 3.5 times more fibers than washing, so air-drying is recommended:
Release of fibers during tumble drying was approx. 3.5 times higher than during washing.

guppyfriend.usTogether, these practices form an evidence-backed routine to minimize microplastic pollution from this throw.
- Microplastic control
Air-drying eliminates the main microplastic source; a Guppyfriend bag cuts washing release by 86%.
Why this is supported
Research shows that microplastic release peaks during the first few washes:
