I purchased this blanket for my son's college apartment bedroom.  After washing and drying it, I loved it so much that I decided to replace all the blankets in every bed of our home.  It is so light, yet so warming.  You don't feel like you wrestled a 300 lb. bear all night while sleeping under it.  To make this purchase even better, I recently vacationed at a 5 star hotel in New Orleans's French Quarter and noted that their beds were made with a very similar blanket!
