As for someone with a meniscus and knee problem, its best to use a lightweight quilt. I have been searching for one and read the reviews about it. I decided to purchase this quilt because of the quality and lightweight that is suitable for me. I dont want to have a problem carrying a heavy one so this quilt is perfect for me. Also, it helps me sleep tight at night and gives comfort so far. It really helps a lot. Given that it has the best color and pattern that I like, I am so in love with it. And So grateful to find this quilt.
