I purchased four of these wonderful blankets last November. They are washed regularly as we have two dachshunds that love to snuggle in these too. They have retained their shape and even though they have been washed at least 15 times each, (probably more) they are nice and soft and their color has not faded either. I do not understand why some are saying they lose their softness upon washing,(I wash in cold water and throw them in the dryer on a regular cycle) and have had no problems except for an occasional burr that the dogs have added which does give the blanket hard spots until I am able to find them and pull them out of the luxurious softness of the blanket. The bottom layer is starting to show some pilling so it probably would be advisable to dry on low and finish drying on a rack, but with all the hard wear mine get and the lack of tender care the blankets receive, I think these blankets are excellent!

Buy this blanket. You won’t be disappointed!! I’ve bought dozens of these over the years as gifts, and I keep 3 of these around our house. I bought one as an office party dirty Santa gift this year, after doing the same last year.... Well, needless to say, it was the only item that was fought over multiple times...since the coworker who picked it last year was raving about it still being her favorite blanket. I’m 5’5”, and it’s large enough to wrap around my feet and come up to my chin. It washes well - keeps its warm, thick, and fluffy shape over the years, unlike a lot of other blankets I’ve owned in the past. It’s large enough to use as a twin comforter - not too hot and not too cold. I hope Sam’s never stops selling these! In fact, I hope they eventually make this in a King’s comforter size, because I will buy it!

I bought this blanket last year and I have had to wash it many times and it is still as soft as the day I bought it! If you are looking for a BIG, fluffy, soft blanket, then I highly recommend this one. It was well worth the money I spent on it, and I will be buying more this year.

Needed a new blanket for the southern California fall/winter (haha). It can get down to 40°-50°, and that's cold for us (sorry to people who live in states where it's actually cold!!) This is soooo warm and soft. It's barely big enough to completely cover both of us in a queen size bed, but I bought 6 in total so I think I'll be fine. I washed it right away, dried on low and it stayed fluffy. Worth the price as other lesser quality blankets can cost $20+

Ive bought 12 of these to date. They wash beautifully. I have had Sam's send them to my family members as gifts for free since im a plus member. I am using them as covers for my leather couches and throws on the beds. I like to keep a couple on hand for quick gifts.

I have bought several other fleece throws that shed SO much they fill up the dryer vent with each wash & continue to get lint on the furniture. This throw is MAGIC! I bought it today and washed and dried it. The dryer vent was EMPTY, literally nothing to clean out. It is also extremely light but still cozy and warm. It is a great throw but can also fit on a twin bed pretty well.

I just bought 2 of these and feel like for the price I need one in each color. They're extremely soft !!! And super warm the only downside is they get little fuzzies everywhere but it's still worth it to me completely. Also they're lightweight and not heavy like some of the fuzzy blankets are

I bought three of these and I'm ordering more. They are exceptionally soft and cuddly, long enough to actually use as a blanket, and delightfully inexpensive as well! I can't imagine a more welcome gift! I plan to heed the warnings of others who left comments and NEVER PUT THIS IN THE DRYER. I haven't tried washing it yet, but there seems to be general agreement that it turns hard and nubbly once you put in the dryer. Line dry or air fluff only. I'm taking no chances. I'm washing it on cold as well. Others report that it retains its softness if you are very careful with the laundering.

Went through the Texas winter hell. -2 degrees, no heat. Just my fireplace and these blankets. I think I have four. They are soooooo warm. LOVE THEM. we were mostly cozy when our house was in the low 40s. Awesome blankets. Large size and very soft.

Saw them and IMMEDIATELY thought about my senior relatives and the coming chill. I ordered a BUNCH for gift giving. They arrived today... OMG...BEAUTIFUL, FLUFFY, COZY, SNUGGLY..I don't need one, but I want one for myself too nice to pass up. The relatives are going to be blown away.. I'm really loving the plaids.. And the price just does it..
