I washed it, and all of the fluffy stuff is all bunched up in some of the parts and it looks all bumpy. When I felt around, there is some spots that have nothing. Just two pieces of material. I am almost certain that I will not be able to use it when it gets cold. I double checked the bag, and there are no special instructions for washing, and I washed it like I have always washed every other blanket or comforter I have owned and have never had any troubles.
