What Is Minky Fabric?

If you're in the market for new bedding or blankets, you've probably run into minky fabric at least once or twice. This soft-to-touch fabric comes in different textures and patterns, making it the go-to for bedding, sewing projects, plush toys, and more. You may not know it, but you likely have stuffed animals or baby blankets made with this ultra-soft fabric.

Whether you're in the market for new minky bedding or want to learn minky fabric, you've come to the right place.

So, what is minky fabric? Here's everything you need to know:

What is Mink Fabric?

Manufacturers use mink material in baby blankets, clothes, plush toys, and bedding. Anytime you wrapped yourself in an ultra-soft blanket or played with a plush baby toy, you probably felt the silky touch of mink material.

Unlike fleece or thicker blankets, mink is one-sided, making it a great year-round option for bedding. This fabric is durable and made to last for years, making it a standard choice for all of Beddy's bedding. It is also our customer-favorite and most popular option, especially for kids! 

In addition, although you'll find mink fabric frequently in baby clothes, toys, and blankets, it is not limited to only baby items!

What is Minky Material Made of? 

An ultra-plush, soft fabric made with 100% polyester fibers, minky fabric is a synthetic material similar to fleece but comes in more styles, colors, and options and is durable and made to withstand everyday use for years.  

Benefits of Mink Fabric

Ultra-Absorbent 

Mink fabric is ultra-absorbent, dries quickly, and is a major component in baby clothes, toys, and blankets. The material also washes more efficiently, so all you need to do is throw it into your washer, and you're good to go.

Soft, Warm, and Breathable

The fabric is ultra-plush and soft, and it's the go-to choice for anyone looking for soft bedding and blankets or who lives in colder weather. Even though mink fabric is warmer than cotton, it's suitable for most climates. 

Versatile and Variety

Minky fabric is available in many different textures, patterns, and colors, so you can find bedding or a blanket that pairs with the bedroom décor, and you never need to sacrifice style for comfort.  

Minky Texture and Colors

Minky is made with a synthetic material, meaning it can be designed and dyed into virtually any color or pattern. Most minky blankets have a dimple dot pattern with some added texture. 

At Beddy's, you can choose between cotton or minky-lined bedding, which features a distinctive dimple dot pattern and all the comfort you need. Our minky-lined bedding is the most popular option we have available.
