Marshmallow Sherpa is the perfect description for this super soft and fluffy blanket. I like that this blanket is machine washable. Out of the package, the blanket washed well and hardly had any lint in dryer. The size fits my full bed perfectly with a little extra blanket to spare. The blanket would be a light-medium thickness to add a touch of extra warmth. This blanket is so soft, my son likes to wrap himself like a burrito to be fully surrounded in its glorious marshmallow-like fluff. You can't go wrong adding this blanket to your bedding collection!
