I love the soft plushy side, and then it has the quilted side on the other. The weight is perfect for an adult or large/older child. I got this for myself after struggling with sleep, I've found that this blanket has helped tremendously. Its soft, not to heavy, and actually works well with my very light comforter. Its about a throw or twin size approximately so it works for me so it doesn't actually bother anyone else in the bed.
