Vellux1B07056 Original Insulating Core Hotel Style Solid blanket Machine Washable Soft Cozy Warm Thermal Durable Pet Friendly All Seasons Layering Bed Sofa Blankets, Twin, Blue

Ever since my mother first bought one of these for us decades ago I have loved these blankets like no other. They're thick without being heavy and very warming in layers with a duvet over them.I don't know why people are mentioning a smell. There is no smell. But then the first thing I do with these is wash and dry them. On that first wash and dry there's a bit of fluff that comes off in the dryer filter, and presumably whatever smells people are mentioning. After that they're soft, and even though I generally live a life of luxury in most things around me, I really can't stand heavy blankets or things feeling weighted down on my feet while in bed, and these are my favorite.Absolutely perfect.I would have preferred plain white, but I'll settle for Ivory since they don't seem to make it.From years of experience I know these will last for years.I replaced an older one in the green color because I prefer more neutral colors, but that blanket is still going. When you wash and dry it and fold it it's fairly thick and makes a fantastic place (when folded) for the cat to sleep in comfort. He loves it, and the blanket isn't so precious or expensive that I can't take it out in the garden and put it on my teak bench so he can lay on it outside. He loves it there too.Highly recommended, and like all things manufactured, I would definitely encourage anyone to wash and dry before using to remove any trace of chemicals (and odor) involved in the production process.

My parents have used these blankets since I was a kid and they are impossible to find unless you look on Amazon. They are so warm, soft and lightweight. I love that they are not so heavy but keep you warm! The color is nice and size is good. Vellux blankets wash/dry well too. Highly recommend!

This is the perfect blanket, not to heavy, not to light.Very comfortable. Thus was a good purchase for me

I needed new bedding for our new king-size bed (upgraded from queen) and was very excited to find a Vellux blanket at a good price. In my experience, these are nice warm blankets and great quality. Wisconsin winters mean warmth is top priority in a blanket, not softness. I personally like a blanket with a little weight to it, but apparently that is contrary to the norm, as all the blankets seem to be advertised to be lightweight. By the time I make my bed, though, with sheets, two blankets, and a quilt, I have a bit of weight to make me comfortable, but not so much that my husband is uncomfortable.So there is one problem with this blanket, and it is very specific to a very specific kind of person. My husband has a strong aversion to cotton balls and anything with a similar texture. I have learned that this is not as rare a phobia as one might think. Fleece is always risky with him. Some fleece is soft enough that he never bats an eye, and some fleece has a texture that causes him to avoid it. And then there's this fleece. When I pulled the blanket out of the package, I immediately noted that it was an unusual texture, but I suspect it will soften with washing. However, we needed to get the bed made right then with no time for washing. When I started to unfold the blanket, I noticed how the fleece sticks to itself, almost like velcro, and even made a sound similar to what you hear when pulling velcro apart. When I finally had enough unstuck to toss to my husband (he was helping me make the bed), he grabbed it and immediately dropped it like it was a hot coal. The only way he could bring himself to touch that blanket was with gloves on. It probably sounds silly to some people, but if you or someone you know shares this aversion to cotton balls, you will completely understand what a big deal this is. I got lucky that this blanket is well-sandwiched between the sheet and a soft blanket, so once the bed is made, there is no reason for him to touch it. And I am hopeful that a wash or two will soften it enough to allow him to touch it without panic. For now, though, I am praying that the velcro quality of this blanket will keep it stuck to the other blanket well enough that it won't accidentally touch him in the middle of the night.Basics: Blanket is warm, fits bed okay - not nearly as much drape on sides as I would like, only about 4-5" on each side, and the length is such that there isn't a great amount to tuck in, so hopefully the top blanket (longer) will keep it tucked. Texture of blanket is unusual, definite concern for people who have aversion to cotton or other textural issues.

WOW! This blanket is soooooo cozy! It's soft, warm but not hot, and beautiful. It also holds the scent of my fabric softener for a long time. I look forward to cozying up under it and no matter what time of night I wake up, I'm always so amazed at how amazing this makes my whole bed feel compared to my last heavier knitted blanket. I thought I'd prefer a heavy blanket but am glad I tried this one because it's fantastic. I bought a second one because hubby doesn't like much over him at night and I tend to stay cold, so I doubled up the blankets and never get too hot when he throws his half of the top one over me. It seems somehow to hold the perfect temperature. Cozy!!! And it never wrinkles. I give it 5 stars and it would make a wonderful gift too!

I love these blankets. I have 4 of them. They get softer each time you wash them. I love that they are lightweight, but keep you warm all at the same time. I have read some of the complaints here about how when this blanket when washed falls apart... Well I use non toxic Seventh Generation Fragrance Free detergent and Seventh generation Fragrance Free fabric softener sheets only when I do wash. Using toxic chemicals that are in most laundry detergents and softeners are not good for washing anything you own. These are my favorite blankets... Buy them, you will love them!

Stands up to normal wear and tear and washing. Still looks brand new. Nice and cosy.

Me gustó el precio y la calidad, quise comprar otra pero le duplicaron el precio.
