This blanket is very lightweight and very soft to the touch. I do not use a top sheet, so this blanket will be making direct contact. I also tend to sleep hot at night, so this blanket will be perfect when the nights turn chilly offering warmth but also be comfortably light weight which is necessary for me. It appears to be made of good quality at an affordable price. It comes in light gray, dark gray, black and white and is available as a twin size blanket or throw. I would highly recommend this blanket to family and friends.
