I purchased this for myself and my husband .. We absolutely love it .. The weight is perfect .. It almost has a slight weighted feel to it .. Extremely cuddly .. We live in AZ so I wasn't looking for sonething too bulky .. It's perfect .. We love it so much we are purchasing one for all our kids and grandkids .. I haven't washed it yet .. But it does appear to be very well made and I have no doubt it will hold up fine .. Great quality product for a great price !
