I'm buying my 6'3, 200 pound boyfriend a 60x80 blanket. I'm making it on Snapfish.com and it is a collage with all his football pictures on there from his senior year. I'm struggling on what type of fleece. What is the difference between plush fleece and arctic fleece? If you have pictures of the fleece fabrics that'd be great!

Looked on the Snapfish website, and their fleece follows the standard descriptions for each type. Check the second image on each web page to see the loft of the solid color base material type.

Arctic fleece is a medium weight fabric with a low loft to the material. This is the type of fleece fabric bought to make tie blankets. It is sometimes sold under the name blizzard fleece or Polar fleece (trademarked fabric). Enlarge the image in any of these links to see the loft of the fabric.

Plush fleece has a high loft (plush) which can feel as silky as fur. The density of the weave can give the material a heavier feel. Is sometimes sold under the name microfiber plush, minky, or miroplush fleece. Enlarge the image in any of these links to see the loft and soft silky plush.

Both types of fleece are made of polyester, are light weight and warm, and are easily washed. Do not use fabric softener on the fabric as this will clog/block the breathable nature of the fleece.
