Finally found the perfect bedding (for me at least). The velvet side is so soft and gives some nice visualtexture interest to the room. FWIW, the blush color  velvet texture is magic at hiding cat hair!

I tend to sleep hot, so this thin quilt is just right. My husband prefers more substantial blankets so he added a weighted blanket (and a heated blanket in winter) to his side.

I got the king for our queen bed because our mattress is super thick - the king is perfect with enough overhang on all sides, but doesn’t puddle on the floor.
