This is a beautiful quilted coverlet that fits very nicely on my recliner. My granddaughter loves to snuggle and occasionally has a leaky diaper or spilled sippy cup and it is nice to be able to throw it in the washer and dryer. And yes it has been washed and it did fine. The cover is very soft and is reversible . One side is a floral done in soft tans and blues.The reverse side is striped with same colors, There is also an elastic strap that helps hold the head piece from falling forward.
