This was a “splurge” purchase when I got some extra money I didn’t expect. I bought one for myself, and one for my twin sister. Is it worth $80? Not sure. Do I feel fancy having it? Yes. It is very soft. I haven’t washed it yet, so time will tell. There are ones out there that are MUCH higher than this one, so I feel good about splurging a bit. It also has my poodle’s “ all paws up” recommendation.
