Choosing a Minimink should be the easy part.
The harder question is often:
Which one should I choose?
From our original baby blanket through to our wonderfully indulgent double-sided blankets, each Minimink has a slightly different purpose.
The right one depends on who it's for, where it will be used and — perhaps most importantly — how much Minimink you want to curl up under.
Here's our guide to finding yours.
For a Baby or Young Child
Faux Fur Baby Blanket — approx 100cm x 100cm
This is the original Minimink size and a beautiful choice for abies and younger children.
Its distinctive design features three corners and one rounded edge, and its compact size makes it easy to use around the home or take with you.
It's a lovely option for:
· prams
· nurseries
· cuddling on the sofa
· travelling
· younger children
It's also one of our most popular choices for a new baby gift.
Best for: babies, toddlers and gifting.
For a Growing Child — or a Smaller Throw
Children’s Faux Fur Blanket — 110cm x 140cm
Want something a little larger?
The Children’s Faux Fur Blanket gives growing children more room to curl up while still being easy to carry around the house or take in the car.
And despite the name, it isn’t only for children
Its 100cm x 140cm size also makes it a practical lap blanket for adults who want something smaller than one of our full-size throws.
Best for: children, car trips, sofa snuggling and adults wanting a small lap blanket.
For the Sofa or Bed
Large Faux Fur Blanket — 200cm x 150cm
This is where things get seriously cosy.
At 200cm x 150cm, our Large Faux Fur Blanket offers considerably more coverage and works beautifully on a sofa or bed.
It can also be used as a throw across a double or queen bed.
It’s a great choice for older children, teenagers and adults, and makes a wonderfully generous blanket for curling up at home.
It can also be used as a throw across a double or queen bed.
Best for: teenagers, adults, sofas and beds.
For Maximum Indulgence
Large Double-Sided Faux Fur Blanket — 200cm x 150cm
If one side of thick faux fur isn’t quite enough, there’s always two.
Our Large Double-Sided Blanket has faux fur on both sides, creating a much heavier and more indulgent blanket.
This is the one for people who love the feeling of a substantial blanket around them — particularly during cold Australian winter nights.
Because of its additional weight and construction, care requirements differ from our standard cotton-velour-lined blankets, so always check the individual product care instructions.
Best for: adults, teenagers and anyone who loves a heavier blanket.

For Even More Coverage
Extra-Large Double-Sided Faux Fur Blanket — 250cm x 150cm
Our largest Minimink.
At 250cm x 150cm, the Extra-Large Double-Sided Blanket gives you considerably more coverage while retaining the luxurious weight and softness of faux fur on both sides.
It’s particularly lovely across a larger bed or for anyone who simply believes there’s no such thing as too much Minimink.
Its size and weight also make following the specific care instructions particularly important.
Best for: larger beds, couples and serious blanket lovers.

What About the Dog?
We know.
You bought it for yourself.
That doesn’t necessarily mean it will remain yours.
Over the years, we’ve received plenty of photographic evidence that dogs — and cats — have very definite opinions about Minimink.
If you’re deliberately choosing one for a pet, consider the size of your pet, where the blanket will be used and how easily you’ll need to wash it.
For most households, one of our standard machine-washable, cotton-velour-lined blankets will be the most practical choice.
What Makes a Minimink Different?
Whichever size you choose, Minimink blankets are designed with the same philosophy we’ve had since 2003:
Beautifully soft. Practical enough for real life. Made to be lived with.
Our standard faux fur blankets combine thick, ultra-soft faux fur with a soft cotton velour lining, creating something luxurious enough to feel special, but practical enough to actually use.
They’re found on beds, sofas, carried around by children, packed for trips and — rather frequently — claimed by pets.
And judging by the stories our customers have recently shared with us, some become part of the family for decades.
Still Not Sure Which Minimink to Choose?
Start with who it's for and where it will be used.
For babies and young children, keep things compact. For older children and adults, move up to the Large Blanket. And if what you’re really looking for its weight, indulgence and as much faux fur as possible, that’s where our double-sided blankets come in.
