I love this comforter. My previous comforter was incredibly warm and thick but as I am a hot sleeper that didn't really appeal to me. It also took forever to completely dry when washed. Glad to say that this comforter washes and dries nicely. I washed it prior to use and the color did seem to blend in one spot from the dryer but I'll live. It is suprisingly warmer than I expected but the material isn't too heavy and I think that helps me stay comfortable while sleeping. I am planning to purchase another in a different color. It's a great price as well.
