This comforter is indeed comfy as advertised! The softspun material is highly apparent immediately after touching this blanket that makes it oh so cozy! It feels like a cozy warm flannel yet it is even softer and more smooth feeling. Kind of like a microfiber. I got the grey plaid pattern and am currently using this comforter as a couch blanket (no chintzy throw blankets in my house). This pattern matches my Christmas decor color scheme perfectly and adds a whole other dimension to that feeling of Christmas magic. My whole family has already piled together under this cozy comforter in the glow of our Christmas tree and roaring fire, making memories I'm sure to last a life time.
