This is an exceptionally soft blanket. I was looking for a summer, light weight blanket. The Sleep Dr. says 68 degrees is perfect sleeping temperature and I agree. I keep my bedroom, portable AC at 68. I tend to throw this off of me, when I first go to bed, as I am nearly always hot! However, by early morning, I tend to pull it up over me as it gets a little chilly. Living in New Mexico, the nights tend to get cooler as it gets later (or earlier).The blanket is two ply. The outer is a more smooth, pretty coral pink color and the inner is the soft, cream color, faux fur. Very soft. The photograph is accurate. It is the softest feeling fur! For this type of poly fabric, it is higher quality. More plush than most and one of the better, poly blankets, I have seen. The two layers of fabric are only stitched (and over-stitched) together, only at the side edges, which I like. They are not stitched together in any other way, thus, my little dogs love sleeping on it! They can scratch and make up their sleeping areas since the fabric is ‘moldable', not being stitched together. Those of you who have little dogs, who 'make their beds', will know what I mean! They like the faux fur side best to sleep on. I like the feel of that side best, as well! I thought of getting rid of the top sheet, so I can feel the softness of the faux fur, but decided against it. Need that sheet only, to cover me, in case I get hot under blanket and have to throw it off.I normally have used cotton blankets and still use only 100% cotton sheets. I found that cotton blankets are too heavy on me. I cannot stand the weight of blankets, on me. This feels so light, which I like.My blanket gets washed at least, weekly and holds up beautifully. It is still just as soft and looks about the same as new. I do use a fabric softener in wash. I ordered the queen size. When searching for the right size, I found most were smaller than this one. This is an ample size and covers my bed well with some hang over the side. It is plenty large.This blanket will be perfect for me, in the winter, more so than summer. Again, I like warmth but not weight and this is perfect for that. I wish it were possible to have a blanket like this, but even lighter weight for summer. With the two ply fabric though, don’t know if that is possible. Am going to get one for my Mom. She has Alzheimers and is in special home for that. She is always cold and think with this blanket, she won’t be. It will be perfect for her! For me, for summer , I will use it for now and keep an eye out for a quality, lighter weight summer cover. Sorry dogs! If you are not hot all the time, this should work great for you, even in the summer.The price on this blanket is good for this quality. I would highly recommend it.Like just about everything else I see, it is “Made in China”. Nothing against them. Our fault, for 'out sourcing' so much to them, instead of manufacturing most things in our own country, as we used to. We have helped them prosper… now we are struggling. Seems we have lost our ability to manufacture. Probably too late to change it now. I find this sad. I still look for “Made in the USA” tags every now and then and try to buy those when possible.This blanket is just wonderful! Good heft but not too heavy just warm enough and is really soft. I'm waiting for this color to come back in to send as giftI am very pleased with this item. It is exactly as described. The feel is superbly soft and the quality is great. I snuggle up under it on a cool night.I bought this blanket for my grandson. It is so soft and cozy. He absolutely loves it. Think I may need to order one for myself!I ordered this blanket because it looked very cozy and fluffy! My mom used to swath me in a fuzzy homemade quilt with a piece of it touching my cheek to help me fall asleep. Thirty-Two years later, I still do the same exact thing. I love pulling a soft and fuzzy blanket up to my face to help lull me to sleep.Upon arrival, I couldn't believe how soft it was! I was blown away!!! I couldn't keep myself from petting repeatedly. My husband finally said, "Do I need to give you a moment?" Rude, but I get the point that I was probably looking like a weirdo petting a fuzzy blanket.This blanket could easily sell for twice the price it is currently running for. It looks very high-class.I decided when I pulled it out of the package yesterday that everyone is getting one of these as Christmas presents. It will make the perfect gift for any occasion!I will update my review when I wash it and see how it holds up.Keep in mind this is NOT an electric blanket. I typed in electric blankets in Amazon search and this showed up. I read the description and I purchased it and then realized that I didn't even look up the wattage and saw that it wasn't an electric blanket after reading a review. It was too late to stop the order nonetheless, it was shipped to me on time. When I received it, I was impressed by it. It feels so good against my skin and it does keep you warm to an extent. Since I purchased this after our coldest blizzard weather I really can't say right now just how warm it can keep you. I give it 4 stars because it wasn't written clear that it wasn't an electric blanket. NOW it says it isn't in the description area next to the picture below the price and it also doesn't say on the blanket (a tag) how to wash it. I'm guessing cold water and no bleach? Other than that I am pleased and I will purchase again in other colors.Not worth the money even if it was 15 dollars cheaper it still isn't worth itnice color and weight very soft will make a great gift looks pricey, but wasn't
