Korean mink blankets

Korean mink blankets are important to the United States (U.S.) from overseas.  These usually have fancy color designs such as peacocks and dragons.  Despite the name, there is no animal fur used in the mink blanket.  These blankets originated in Korea, however the Chinese also manufacture these blankets as a popular bedding item.  Korean mink blankets are very reasonably priced, and are also a good choice for those with allergies. 

The acrylic fiber blankets are very colorful, with very unique designs (such as animals, unicorns, or flowers).  There are many different grades, as the higher grade blanket lines will be much softer.  The plushness of the blanket is from the special acrylic fibers used in the manufacturing process.  When you are purchasing a blanket be sure to ask the retailer to check the picture to make sure it matches the physical blanket.  Keep in mind that sometimes they may accidentally use outdated pictures (or the manufacturer may have changed designs without information the blanket distributors).

Some of the brand names include Solara, Dolphin, Dragon, and Solaron.  If you have never seen or felt a Korean mink bed cover, they are extremely plush (similar to stuffed teddies).  Keep in mind that when you bring your blanket home, you may want to wash it first before you use it (sometimes there is a starch like substance on the blanket).

I remember as a child, owning a korean blanket (I didn't know at the time however there was a specific name for these).  I believe it may have been an "Asian" thing, as our family friends also used these in their houses as well.  The Korean mink blanket has a much different feel compared to regular down comforters. These blankets feel more “alive” because of the fiber design, and it is similar to hugging giant teddy bears. If you do not know where to buy these blankets you can try searching online for the best price, value, and selection. If you live in an area with a high ethnic Korean population you can also try going directly to the store so that you can see the Korean blanket in person.
