The coverlet is very soft. The color is nothing like the picture online though. It is a true ivory like other reviewers wrote. It is not a light grey-ish color as pictures. I wish it was more similar to what is shown online. It also doesn't drap as much as the picture, although I was prepared for that based on other reviews (I have a king sized bed). Overall it is very soft but the color isn't what I was wanting. For the price (purchased it on sale) I will keep it until I find something else.
