Bought the orange one. The fabric is soft smooth, lightly velvety, not the sheen that the site images imply. Came tightly packed in its own bag. If you kneed it like dough, crumbling the insides by gripping from the outside (dont open it) then it will fluff up to full size in a day. I added more fill, bought from this site, and will add another bag of that fill. Still worth the price overall, compared to the very expensive options on this site and others.
