I have washed mine, (4 of them) and so have the ones I've given for gifts by the giftee. No problems at all. I can say it is helpful to run thru the dryer right after purchase before use; it gets rid of any loose fuzz, and prevents what some call tangling. Do not use fabric softener. Just bought 4 more today for gifts!

I got addicted to this blanket when I was visiting a family member over Thanksgiving. Once I returned home, I wanted to buy my own. I was unable to order online but I was lucky enough to find one at my local club. It is perhaps the softest blanket ever.

My boyfriend has a blue one on his bed and after using it for the first time I am in love! I steal his blanket all the time and this Christmas I finally received my own!! Definitely recommend this blanket. It keeps you warm and surrounds you with comfort. It even holds up well after washing if you follow the instructions. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!

I bought one of these last year and the kids loved it, so this year they each get one of their own, plus a new one for me in that pretty solid mauve color that matches my bed linens perfectly. I've had more expensive throws that aren't nearly as nice as these.

I bought the plum blanket which was already soft to the touch but when I unwrapped it, it had an awful odor. Im not good at returning items but I washed it and it became fluffier. I love this blanket and plan on buying some more but if they have a smell the next time, im definately returning them.

I usually pass on buying blankets, but got hooked on this particular item after my first purchase. PROS: Super warm, plushy soft and thick pile, variety of patterns (pre-holiday period) great for gift-giving and larger than typical throw size. CONS: Limited pattern selection as they are sold out! Loved my blanket so much, bought 5 more for family members (mainly to keep mine from going MIA.) :)

I bought this and another one after a really cold snap, in case it got bitter cold and we lost power. I pulled it out one day when my favorite throw was in the wash, and boom, I have a new favorite. Super soft silky micro fleece with plush Sherpa backing, it's light, warm, super cozy. For emergency use I'd need two but I love it and will check back next year, as someone mentioned that they are on sale at Thanksgiving.

Last year I brought one of these throws. I got home and realized how comfortable this throw was. I am very tall and this covers me up. This keeps you very warm almost hot.. I went back to Sam’s and bought four more. Today I brought six throws to give as Christmas gifts.

I can’t stop buying these blankets. I’ve been buying them for years and I just want them all! They are extremely soft and large. Wash them as little as you can to keep them soft, but at this price, it’s worth buying more! My cat and kids can’t resist stealing them either!

I was a little skeptical about ordering this blanket given its low cost. I am so glad that I did. When I opened the package, I was a little disappointed. The blanket seemed thin. However, it had been vacuum packed, so it took a little time and shaking to loosen it up. It’s not a heavy blanket, but it is heavenly warm. The oversize throw also ensures that you are covered from shoulder to feet—and then some. Most blankets just fall short. I liked this so much that I ordered a second one! Now my husband and I can be equally comfy and cozy!
