I'm one of those people who can't sleep without a blanket on — which can be difficult when you live in one of the hottest states in the U.S. This quilted cotton quilt is the perfect thickness to keep me covered and not overheat. It's nice and soft and the pattern of the quilting was not irritating on my skin. The color is lighter than I was anticipating but that's the only real issue I had immediately with the quilt. So far it seems to be holding up well and isn't pilling like my previous comforter did soon after I bought it.
