Mainstays, Modern Gray, Polyester Sherpa Bed Blanket, Full/Queen

This Sherpa blanket is so soft and luxurious we could not wait to cuddle up with it. The taupe color goes perfect in any of our bedrooms. It is medium weight so it's not too heavy for the cool Fall evenings. The queen size fit our Queen bed perfect. The blanket is made of 100% polyester and holds up well in the washer and dryer. It comes wrapped with a ribbon and would make a perfect gift for any occasion. This blanket is a must have for cool nights. Would definitely recommend.

This item is part of a Walmart Spark Review. The first thing I noticed opening the package was the blanket is a bit darker then the photo. It is still a very nice neutral color. We have a cat and he gives it a 5 Star rating for making biscuits because it is so pleasingly soft. As soon as I took it out of the casing he was kneading it with pure love. I washed the blanket and was really expecting it to shed a lot. To my surprise there was almost no fiber in the lint trap. I even ran the dryer a second time to make sure it was dry as it dried very fast. Again no fibers. The fact it is barely shedding any fibers is a major bonus to me. The blanket pretty much looks the same on both sides. The only way to know which side is the inside is the edging is turned over and sewn but you still have to look close. Long term I do not know if this blanket will mat at all. Based on the initial washing my best guess is it will remain exactly like it currently looks and feels. We have owned other Sherpa type blankets and they mat quickly after each washing. Soft and fuzzy, warm and cozy. There will be a fight over this blanket when winter hits. A photo is included but even my camera can not give a true color depiction. The reason I went with the taupe color is with a pet you are less likely to see any hair on it. Our cat is actually very similar in color. Just something to think of if you own a pet and hate seen light hairs on something dark.
