I bought 8 of these last Christmas for g-children and husband.They were so thrilled until they began to wash them.They all did not stay soft and fuzzy .they knotted up and were hard. I was so dissappointed and sad that this did not turn out as a nice cuddley throw for them to take to college.Did anyone else have this trouble ?I would like to let the company know And if they would replace them.I got them in Roanoke's Sams Club and see they have them again this year.

I bought this several months ago after randomly seeing it at Sam's club. I saw the color first, a medium teal that went great with my house, but then I felt it and knew I had to have it. This is my "couch lounging " blanket. I have 5 dogs and they all love it. One will climb and Tetris her way in to whatever small space she can fit into just to lay on it. I will be buying more of these ASAP, maybe one specifically for the dogs as well. Go buy one. For $15, you couldn't ask for a warmer, cozier blanket. I also wash it often, as well as dry. It's definitely retained its softness. It doesn't look as pretty as before the first wash, but the feel has not changed.

I bought my husband this for Christmas just so I could use it, I love the way it felt in the store, and it feels even better next to your skin it's absolutely wonderful and as it turns out my husband bought me one for Christmas so now I don't have to share. The most important feature that I love is that it's incredibly soft but also it's bigger than your average size throw, and you can wrap all up in it. I hope Sam's Club has them again next year because they will make perfect gifts...

I’ve bought these blankets for the last 3 years. My first purchase I couldn’t believe how warm and soft they were! After washing them several times I’m quite impressed on how they’ve held up. The following year I bought them as gifts and people ranted about them. My 2 year old blankets are still in great condition but I’ve changed up the colors a bit so I’ve purchased a few new ones. I’ve just washed them one last time, I’ve passed some (real) homeless people and temperatures have been in the 30s at night so I’m gonna find a few to keep warm with them.

I purchase new ones every year. I use it all year long. Perfect size to cuddle with your love one. I really enjoy giving as gifts to my family as well. I hate telling people where I get them because I am afraid they will sell out before I get my yearly stock pile.

I have been buying these throws for years and I have loved the thick fuzzy sherpa but the last 4 that I bought were not the same. They are thinner and the sherpa is not as good of quality. The biggest critic in my house is my cat and he is not impressed.

These are warm and toasty. I don't actually use these for myself because they get a little too warm and toasty. They do, however, make superlative cat beds. I have a lot of cats and so have purchased a lot - I mean a lot - of these blankets. They wash and dry very easily and wear very well. The only issue, and it's a small one, is they tend to shed just a little bit when they're new. Bringing a new one out from from the packaging is like Christmas for them.

Sams changed the style of blanket, I had this saved in a wish list and Sams recently swapped the old style for this new, completely different one. Here's a link to the old one. The internet remembers. https://auctions.samsclub.com/catalog/product/view/id/32380

I purchased the holiday variant with the trucks. Day of arrival, I ripped open the package and there before me was a super thick and plush blanket. My first thought was "OoooO yummy"! My second thought was "Is it gonna pill or shed"? So straight into the washer it went. Warm water on the medium load setting (my small load setting wasn't enough water to cover it), 1 tide pod and half a cup of scent beads and dried it like I do everything else and it came out of the dryer "PERFECT".  This is the best 15 bucks I've spent all year.  I was reluctant to buy this throw at first because I read Some reviews saying that fabric softener caused their blanket to become matted and hard.... I honestly don't think it's the fabric softener! I have a queen size blanket of the same material that came out matted in spots after I washed it. SO in comparing the 2? I think it's due to not having enough room in the washer. I had to stuff my queen in my washer and set it as a full load and there still wasn't enough water in it for it to swish like it should have. Whereas this blanket/throw with the cute lil trucks?  I set my washer on small and stood there watching (yes, top load machine) and then set it to a medium load so it would have enough water to swish. 

I purchased several of these last year when winter kicked up and they were/are soft and durable. The versions from last year got me to rate this 5 stars. This year I ordered 3 more for gifts and to not wear out the others. I was saddened to see the same print on the blue blanket on one side but not the same Sherpa material on the other, which makes all the difference. Its like the printed pattern material gets used twice and this new version comes without the sherpa texture. Worst of all I ordered another thinking it was a change on the blue blanket only, but that one also came out without the sherpa material. Not happy at all about this change, nor will they be getting used the same (if at all)
