So soft and cozy....but you get what you pay for.
Edited (at end) to update how it’s held up over time.....
This was one of my very rare Amazon purchases that was made without research and comparison. I had been on the lookout for a nice blanket to go on my bed (as a throw to drape on the bottom), saw this in a lightning deal and was pressured by that pesky timer (you know the one that tells you your time is running out to get the deal) to go ahead and purchase it.....I 100% believe I could've held out and found a better option for the same price or a little more but hey, too late now. And honestly? If it only lasts a few months and stays this soft, it will be well worth the $11.
1. Size: 5 of 5. Its the perfect throw size. No complaints in this dept.
2. Color: 5 of 5. Exactly as pictured. Perfect grey.
3. Softness/Cozy-ness: 5 of 5. Its surprisingly soft, like I can't quit feeling on it soft....I probably shouldn't love a blanket (softness wise) as much as I do this one.
4. Thickness: 4 of 5. I did not want a thick throw so it works out that this one is thin. But its that kind of thin that feels like its cheaply made or poorer quality. I am worried it won't hold up well.
5. Quality/Craftsmanship: 4 of 5. All stitching is perfect, I can't find any defects anywhere. But because of the material I can't give a 5 because I do predict after a few washes it will look worn/used more than it should.
Overall, it is super soft and thin enough to be used as a throw. If you were buying this as your bedding (twin/queen/etc), I don't believe it is thick enough to keep you warm overnight. I would in no way describe it as fleece or as flannel (as the packaging says), it is as soft as sherpa but without the thickness. For $11, I am overall happy w my purchase, but I wouldn't pay $15+ for this blanket. We will see how it stands up overtime.
Update: This is where I come back and tell you my predictions were total crap bc this throw blanket is still hanging out comfortably at the end of my bed after MANY washes....but that wouldn’t be totally true since my 10yo daughter is a blanket klepto and has stolen this one (along with the 5-8 others I’ve purchased before/after this....I seriously don’t know where she stores them or why she needs them all) because as she says, “it’s so much softer than all the others”. So despite it appearing “cheap”, this throw is a freaking champ. As soft as ever with no holes or defects at all, despite being washed at least twice a month.
