Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using this blanket for just over a week now and have enjoyed it since first opening it.I sleep hot, so the most important thing I was looking for was a lightweight blanket that would breathe. My main comforter is a "Natural Comfort" all seasons fill and is much too hot and unbreathable when the window's closed in a 73F house at night. There's another blanket on Pacific Down that's very similar but it was triple the price, so I decided to give this a chance to try it out before upgrading to a higher quality blanket in the future. Since I'm obsessed with temperature, here's an idea of the settings I've been using the blanket in so far: -Warm outside (~75F+) window shut. ~71-74F in the house with a tiny fan on. -Colder (nice) outside, ~50F, window open. House at 71-74, fan on again. Here are some of my thoughts: PROS: -It -is- comfy! It's decently soft and feels good to sleep under. -It keeps me, who's very sensitive about my sleeping temperature, at a good warmth/coolness during the night even with the window shut! -It breathes. I haven't woken up in the middle of the night feeling too hot at all since we bought this, when previously I couldn't get a decent night of sleep for weeks due to being too hot. -The sateen edges feel great! -Has been comfortable to sleep with (without any other sheets/etc) in temperatures ranging from the low 50F's to mid 70F's! CONS: -Not much of a problem, but it's not as white as it shows in the photo. I picked the ivory option and instead of looking a nice grayish off-white color, it's got a much stronger yellow look and is a bit more matte instead of shiny, which makes it look a little dingy. But it was only 30 bucks, so I don't mind. I don't think it's as pretty as it was in the picture but it's a good blanket to try out before upgrading to a high quality expensive version. -As the temperature sank below 50 the other night, I woke up to take a drink and noticed that I was a bit too cold. It wasn't cold enough to wake me, but the blanket may not be able to keep one warm enough in temperatures 40F and below, which is normal from a lightweight blanket. Once the temperatures are consistently below 50 at night then I'll bring back out my old Natural Comfort all seasons fill comforter. -The main part of the blanket (the middle, not the sateen edges) isn't as soft and luxurious as it looks. It's better than average but you can feel the subtle roughness of fabric when touching it. When you've got it on your body/sleeping with it then it's not noticeable, but running your fingers over it will confirm that it is indeed a $30 blanket. I'll be using this until it gets a bit too cold, when winter truly hits, then i'll switch back to the other comforter. I'd recommend this blanket to anyone who sleeps hot and wants something that'd normally cost 60 bucks at bed bath and beyond for half the price. I may buy a full-size for my boyfriend since he's taken a liking to it and has tried to steal it a few times! I'd say it's 5/5 for a relatively cheap blanket, met all of my expectations and surprised me with how well it worked!
