This is a very, very lightweight blanket, much lighter than a typical cotton one. Be aware that the white is not a true white; more like vanilla. Unfortunately the bedspread of the bed for which I ordered it is true white. Furthermore, it is labeled for full/queen size, and it does fit the full sized bed, but I have my doubts about putting in on a queen bed. I will probably pass it on to my daughter who lives in the South and perhaps can use a lighter-weight blanket. For a queen bed or for cooler summer nights, I recommend looking for another blanket.
