Amazon.com Review
This dreamily soft blanket from Martex feels just like velvet, but is remarkably lightweight and easy to maintain. It is made with millions of nylon surface fibers and two layers of insulating polyurethane foam for maximum warmth and comfort. The plush surface won’t mat or pill no matter how many times the blanket is washed. Plus, it won’t fade or lose its velvety softness. This blanket is used in many hotels around the world because it’s hypoallergenic and withstands frequent washings. Because it’s breathable and lightweight, it’s perfect for use in all seasons. Since it’s available in a range of stylish colors, it will compliment any décor. This blanket would add a special touch of luxury to your guest bed, but once you experience its softness, you’ll probably want one for your own bed, as well. --Susannah Detlef

My Favorite Blanket
This a wonderfully soft blanket that is light yet warm. I have one for every bed in my home and I even have one for the RV.

I found that some colors were less expencive than others so be sure to look at them all. Also, the size is a little small; if you have a queen bed you will want to order the King size, but if you have a full bed the full/queen will work fine.

Poorly sewn
After only one washing, the hem began unraveling and I will have to sew it back in. I preferred blue bell color, but ordered china blue because blue bell was unavailable in King size - but they actually shipped the blue bell (in King) by happy mistake! Other than the hem unraveling, I am happy with the blanket. It will not be too much trouble to fix it - but if you are looking for quality sewing you may be disappointed.

The product is ok
The blankets are fine but not as good quality as the ones I purchased about 19 years ago. They will suffice, however.
