I am so very happy with these blankets. I always seem to have an affinity with fleece or anything that is a fleece. At least that is what I think is now my new love. In the past few years during winter, I have been keeping my thermostat at62F and during a sunny day, I would always let some sunshine come through my open front door on my full-length window storm door. A comforter has always been enough for me before and I am not into adding sheets on top or blankets. Then I felt that this has becoming insufficient for me. Even though my sheets are now fleeced as well as my comforter and even though I have used top sheet, I feel the need for a blanket. A fleece blanket, specifically. And so I decided to purchase this and I was so amazed when I received it! This got to be the softest blanket I ever had! I love this so much because it is lightweight too. To be honest, I was very hesitant of buying this at first but all those quickly disappeared as I crawled into bed with that blanket for the first time, it was perfect! I did not shiver nor shake for 3-4 mins while the bed warmed up. It made me fall asleep right away, soundly, and comfortably. I have been having a great good night's sleep because of this and would wake up still feeling warm and a bit toasty and as soon as I throw the covers back I would feel the exact same cold that this fleece blanket had protected me from overnight. I would love to buy more and more of this if I have a huge space to store it. As of now, I would buy my couch because I find it beautiful enough to display. Not to mention that there is nothing like snuggling up on the couch with a pillow, or blanket while reading your favorite book on a cold, snowy February. Update: I just got my newly ordered throw for my couch. I got a powder blue to compliment my royal blue couch. Its contrast is dazzling and beautiful! I could say that I probably have ordered almost all types of blankets, I've got some of those overall blankets, the ones that feet and arms, those that you wear almost like a sweatshirt, but all I can say, there is nothing even greater than just lying on the couch underneath a warm, soft and fuzzy blanket on a cold, snowy Saturday with your favorite book, sipping your hot tea and with your dog or cat also curling up with you under this blanket. I cannot say enough how pretty this is and so very practical too! It is the best gift for the bride-to-be, even for those that are not, during holidays like Christmas or for someone's birthday, or a gift for granny or mommy.
