I purchased this for my eldest son, the twin xl. I ran the comforter through the wash and dryer before I gave it to him. It came out perfect, not like most other comforters that look beat when you pull them out of the dryer. We love cotton in this family, other materials irritate our skin, plus my eldest son and I have allergies, so this comforter couldn't be more perfect for him. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and me. I also love how the comforter is good for all 4 seasons, I hate having to buy bedding all the time to keep up with the weather.
