I've been having night sweats and other issues as a result of being in the warmest room in the house, so I wanted something light but warm in the mornings when it's cooler. Because of the horrible smell, I washed it right away and was very pleased with how it washed. It's not as soft as I had hoped, but it's very lightweight and heavy enough for my purposes. Also, after numerous surgeries, I dislike anything pushing on my legs, and this did not do so. The only drawback is that I wish it were softer. However, the light blue color is lovely. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.
