Product Overview
Say hello to the ultimate guest room upgrade. The Mitre Essentials Polar Blanket is more than just a throw; it’s a statement of comfort and quality. Crafted in a gorgeous, deep chocolate brown, this king size fleece throw blanket provides that extra layer of warmth and luxury that guests truly remember.

Expert Review and Insights
The Mitre Essentials fleece is a real workhorse in the world of hospitality bedding. It strikes that difficult balance between feeling genuinely plush and luxurious for the guest, while being tough enough for the back-of-house. The anti-pilling finish is a standout feature, as it keeps the throw looking presentable for far longer than standard fleeces.

- Top-Tier Feel: It feels surprisingly high-end, providing excellent value for its price point.
- Drying Time: While quick-drying for a fleece, it's naturally slower than pure polyester options.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Tenby needed to replace their tired, pilling bed throws to refresh their seaside guest rooms. They chose the Mitre Essentials GU395 throw for its reputed durability and luxurious feel.
"Our old throws looked worn within a few months. These Mitre ones are a different class entirely. They wash beautifully, stay incredibly soft, and the rich brown colour has really lifted the look of our rooms. Our housekeeping team loves how easy they are to care for."
Eleanor Vance – Head of Housekeeping
The hotel saw a notable increase in positive guest comments mentioning room comfort and has reduced its annual linen replacement budget by over 25%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- On arrival, remove the throw from its packaging and allow it to air out for an hour.
- For ultimate softness and hygiene, we recommend a pre-use wash at 40°C.
- Drape artfully across the foot of the bed or fold neatly on a shelf for guest access.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash with similar dark colours to maintain the rich chocolate brown hue.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the polyester fibres and reduce absorbency.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting to protect the fibres and keep the fleece fluffy.
- Thanks to the anti-pilling finish, no special brushing or de-bobbling is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this king size fleece throw blanket heavy?
A: It's designed to provide substantial warmth without being overly heavy or cumbersome, making it easy for guests and staff to handle.
Q: What does 'blanket stitched ends' mean exactly?
A: It’s a durable type of stitch that wraps around the edge of the fabric, securing the fibres and preventing the ends from fraying through repeated use and washing.
Q: Can I tumble dry this Mitre Essentials GU395 throw?
A: Yes, absolutely. We recommend using a low heat setting to keep the fleece soft and fluffy for as long as possible.
Q: Will the chocolate brown colour fade in the wash?
A: The fabric is dyed to be colour-fast. When washed correctly at 40°C with similar colours, it will retain its rich hue for a very long time.
Q: What is the exact material?
A: It’s a carefully selected polycotton blend, specifically chosen to offer the ideal balance of guest comfort and commercial-grade durability.
Q: Is the material suitable for people with sensitive skin?
A: The fleece is very soft to the touch, and polycotton blends are generally well-tolerated by most people.
Q: How does this compare to a 100% polyester fleece?
A: The cotton in the blend gives it a softer, more breathable feel than pure polyester, while still retaining the quick-drying and durable benefits.
Q: How effective is the anti-pilling finish?
A: It's extremely effective and designed for commercial use, meaning the throw will resist forming bobbles and maintain its smooth appearance through many wash cycles.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhat Does 'Anti-Pilling' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever noticed those tiny, annoying fabric bobbles that appear on well-used jumpers or blankets? That's called 'pilling'. It happens when fibres on the fabric surface rub together and get tangled up, especially during washing and drying. An 'anti-pilling' finish is a special treatment applied during manufacturing that makes the fabric surface much smoother and more resistant to this tangling. Think of it like a protective shield for the fleece. For your business, this means the throw stays looking smart, smooth, and new for much, much longer. You won't have to replace them as often, and your rooms will always have that crisp, professional look that guests expect.
