This is a lovely, soft fluffy bedspread! It is nice an thick, and the backing and the chenille top is very soft. It washed up great. As with all chenille fabrics, it sheds a lot the first couple of washings. That is what makes it fluffy! Check your dryer lint trap every 10 minutes while drying to clean it out to speed drying. I am so happy with this bedspread. And the cats are crazy for it, one of them is always lounging on it.
