Rabbit Fur Mat

A rabbit fur mat is a soft, fluffy rug with a plush pile that looks and feels like rabbit fur. Most mats sold online today are made from faux (artificial) rabbit fur, which is a synthetic fabric such as acrylic or polyester. Faux fur gives you the same luxurious look and softness at a much lower price, without using animal products. Always check the product description to confirm the material before buying.

Real rabbit fur is costly because of the pelts and the labour involved. Faux rabbit fur mats are much more affordable and are available in most budgets, with price depending on size, pile thickness and fabric quality. Larger sizes and thicker, denser pile cost more. Compare the pile height, backing quality and size rather than going by price alone.

Yes. Rabbit fur mats are soft, warm and comfortable under the feet, and they add a luxurious look to a bedroom or living room. They work well beside the bed, under a coffee table, on a sofa or in a kid’s play area. They need regular care to stay fluffy, and they are best placed in low-traffic areas rather than entrances or kitchens.

Shake the mat out and vacuum it gently on a low setting to remove dust. Spot-clean spills straight away with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Many faux fur mats can be washed in a machine on a gentle, cold cycle, but check the care label first. Air-dry the mat in shade, and comb or brush it lightly once dry to restore the fluff. Do not use hot water, bleach or a high-heat dryer.

Some shedding is normal in the first few weeks, and it reduces with gentle brushing and shaking. To prevent matting, avoid heavy foot traffic, brush the mat with a soft brush or wide-tooth comb and keep it dry. If the fur does get matted, gently detangle it with a comb and a little fabric conditioner, working from the tips towards the base. A good quality mat with dense pile sheds and mats far less.

Pick the size according to where it will go. Small mats around 2x3 ft suit bedside areas, chairs or vanity stools. Medium sizes of about 4x6 ft work for under a coffee table or a bedroom corner. Larger sizes of 5x7 ft or more suit living rooms and under a bed. Measure the space first, and leave a border of bare floor around the mat so it looks balanced.

Yes. A rabbit fur mat can be used as a soft, decorative layer on a sofa, chair or bed, and it is also popular as a photography backdrop and a baby or pet play mat. On a sofa or chair, a mat with a non-slip backing stays in place. On the floor, a non-slip pad underneath keeps it from sliding on tiles and polished floors.
