This blanket is super soft! I got the cream colored one (forget the actual color name) and it's a very nice cream. The throw pillows were also unexpected so for the price I think it's a great deal. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because if you run your hand across the fur stripes you can feel the mesh backing and see it very blatantly. Even if the banker is slightly bent you can see the mesh backing. I don't like the way the mesh looks or feels. I ordered this as an accent piece for my daughter's nursery and to get cozy under during nighttime feedings. It will definitely serve that purpose, and no one is touching the pillows so the mesh isn't a big deal. All in all, soft & comfy! Just not "run your fingers through" type quality.
