I already had a queen size of this blanket, so knew I would like the king size. It is perfect for couples where one sleeps hot and the other sleeps cool. It has a very slight loft but is warm enough. We live in the San Francisco area and sleep with the windows open all year and it does get cold in the winter. The crinkle sound goes away with washing as I discovered with the queen size. I was happy with the service from Wayfair and would not hesitate buy from them again.
