This blanket is really nice material, it is for sure cotton and I can tell cause it helped keep me cool throughout the weekend I hurt my knee this weekend while moving into my new place and so therefore had to be in bed resting and this cover was comfy to nap and stay cuddled in… I love the color, it is as pictured and I love how it looks with any lighting as you can see in the pictures day and night. I will definitely get more of these in other colors… oh and my cat also loves it.
