I started off as using this as a blanket and my comforter underneath it. But I actually really like it. As the full bed spread, it is a comforter type. But still feels like a quilt. So it serves the purpose of 2 things which I really love. I haven't washed it yet to see how that process can be. That might be the only downfall with this VS a quilt. But I do recommend that the quality is really good.  I would buy it again
