This blanket is perfect when paired with a flat sheet for year round use in south Florida. The material breathes well and keeps you warm without getting overheated. I searched for a while to find a cotton blanket that my cat wouldn’t be able to unthread when kneading, and so far the thread damage has been very minimal. I also like the color I chose (white). It’s a very crisp, clean, ultra white and I like that I can bleach it in the washer. It’s held up very well and maintained its shape even after numerous washes. This is a blanket that will last a long time and get lots of use.
