This blanket is comfortable and breathable, and is exactly what I was looking for for warm nights. However, the other reviews were most certainly correct: It takes at least two washes before the fluff stops coming off and the chemical smell dissipates, and it pulls VERY easily due to the loose weave. I don't have any pets, I washed it on gently cycle, and somehow there were already pulls when I put it on my bed. Would not recommend for people with pets. But if it's on sale and you're looking for a light blanket to sleep with in the spring/summer, this works great.
