Why use a fouta as a sofa throw?

The fouta is much more than a simple beach or bath towel. Thanks to its refined weave, softness and natural aesthetic, it becomes the ideal sofa throw to dress up a living room with elegance and practicality.

Whether you're looking for a bohemian, minimalist or Mediterranean touch, fouta adapts to all interior styles. In this article, find out why it's an excellent alternative to traditional sofa throws, and how to choose and care for it.

1. A fouta to protect and embellish your sofa

One of the primary advantages of using a fouta as a sofa throw is that it protects your furniture while adding a unique decorative touch.

✔️ Protection against dust and wear: A fouta covers the entire sofa, preventing the accumulation of dust and stains.
✔️ A breathable textile that's pleasant to the touch: Unlike synthetic plaids, fouta is 100% cotton and provides a feeling of natural comfort.
✔️ Easy to wash and care for: Unlike thick covers, it can be machine-washed at 30-40°C and dries quickly.
