I got this blanket as soon as the winter sets in. When it arrived, I first fell in love with its pattern. Then later that evening I put it on the bed and I couldn't believe how comfortable it was! The sherpa sides and the plush are both super soft too, and I am kept warm with it! I have washed and dried it too and the results were amazing after. I took it out of the laundry and looked at it, it was as if it was still that same blanket the day it arrived. Fluffy as ever! Just wanted to leave a warning though, it may seem a bit difficult to get the folded blanket out of the bag which is zipped. As for me, I fear tearing it apart so I did wrestle for a bit, carefully, finally separating the blanket for the wrapping and the reward was amazing! For anyone out there who is still looking to get warm on chilly nights of winter, I advise you to purchase this now, I recommend this!
