We purchased this blanket instead of an electric we were considering.  It is very warm and luxurious and makes you want to stay in bed.  It is also very nice in appearance and easy to manage as the square sections pattern is beneficial in lining it up with the mattress.  Great color, feel and warmth.  A much better choice than an electric, cheaper and no wires to deal with.  Cannot speak to washability as ut is brand new.  Highly recommended.

Pros: Luxury appearance, comfortable feel, warmth & economical price.  Easy to manage.
Cons: None identified.
