True to size. I had a black bed skirt which went well with the comforter. It is not very thick, so not super warm. I have not washed it yet so hopefully it stands up to the test. The material is good for our dog, who loves to sleep on the bed. No picks and easy to wipe clean. The color is a brighter red than I expected but I like it. So far I am happy with it and the price was very good.
