Very soft and comfy, but not thick at all
Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King, Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King
The blanket is very soft and comfortable. Its also the correct size. However We were looking for something thicker and heavier for a winter blanket. This isn't that. Its pretty thin and lightweight. Fine for spring - fall but not great for winter. We ended up using it underneath our other comforter. It also has an awful smell when you first open it and it takes a few days for that smell to wear off.

Sooo soft
Color: Sherpa Red, Size: King
Was not expecting for this comforter to be this soft, true red in color. Even after washing it held up so well. It’s very warm for those cozy nights.
