My daughter was tired of her old bedding and needed something not too kid like but also something fun and fantastical as she adores the magic. This bedding was absolutely perfect.  It's mermaid scale pattern is fun and the pastel colors are soft with metallic shiny edges. At first glance she was in love. 

I threw it all in the wash machine first thing and it came out just fine. No issues. She really likes the pillow that comes with it, a little accent pillow that gives it a pulled together look. The pillow case is also patterned on one side and a pretty blue on the other which matches the comforter. 

The comforter itself is a very soft fabric, which surprised me as most kids comforters are a bit rougher fabric. It's warm for bed time and over all she is absolutely thrilled. I would even enjoy this for my own bed. It's definitely for any age.
