DownTown Company Granny Blanket - 100% Natural Egyptian Cotton Blanket with Pure Cashmere Softness, Imported from Portugal - Premium Throw Blanket for Bed, Sofa, or Couch – Queen Size, White Color

The media could not be loaded.  I really love this blanket. It's incredibly soft, like a cotton ball and just the right (mid) weight. So much nicer to have cotton against my skin than yucky acrylic. Edited to add: I've now had this blanket for a couple weeks and I recently washed it. I am sorry to say, it lost a lot of its softness. It no longer has that mink feeling. It feels more like a regular cotton blanket. It's still nice, but not special and I wouldn't have spent so much on it if I knew the texture would change after washing.

Super soft, seems oversized, sheds a little but overall very happy with this purchase!

Extremely soft blanket. My girlfriend loves it. But, I received it with a lot of loose fibers that rub off during sleep. Had to wash and tumble dry it a few times to get rid of the loose fibers. It still peels off a bit from time to time but that's to be expected from this sort of material. Overall, a very soft and warm blanket.

It did it for my mother's birthday. I live on the other side of the Atlantic and because of the high shipping costs, I now prefer to rely on online shopping in the US for gifts to her. That means I don't see what I buy and have to wish for the best. It doesn't always work out. But this little blanket is, as the comments said, very comfortable and soft. She had a need for something like it. It was perfect.

...and boy was I wrong.We LOVED that blanket. And I was pretty much at the point of tears recently when I saw that it was FINALLY starting to fray around the edges and get a little thin after who knows how many times through the washing machine.So I went digging for a replacement, but figured they didn't make them anymore, so I was buying all these OTHER random blankets and trying them... and was DEEPLY disappointed. I mean, heck, most of the ones I bought showed up in a package that was maybe the size of two college textbooks. How could any blanket be anything close to decent if there was no BULK to the thing?I cried in a corner about it for a while, and my wife came to me, haloed in a heavenly light, and said, "Hey, moron. Have you considered looking at the TAG on the blanket we have now to see if they still make them? Hm?"And it occurred to me... that no... I had NOT. So we checked. "DownTown?! PFFT. Who has ever heard of them? There's no way they're still making these... and even if they do, I bet you they will suck. Because it seems like ALL bedding quality has gone WAY down hill these days."But we found them! And they were still stupidly expensive! So... I dunno... maybe?!And we bought it.And it showed up. It was this giant, heavy package that looked like it was closer to a full BACKPACK full of textbooks. So... already I'm pretty excited. I open it up and it's thick and glorious, just like I remember ours was when we bought it 20 years prior. Put it on the bed, went to sleep with the windows open and the thermometer reading 45 degrees, and honestly I don't think I've slept this well in years.I know it all sounds silly, but seriously... this thing is just SO great. In a world of these low-quality bedding materials, it is SO great to know that someone out there is still making a high quality item. And, yeah, it's pricey, but if I have to buy one of these every 20 years, I think maybe I won't worry too much. And this is totally a blanket to use year round. It's oddly not so hot that you can have it on you in the warmer months, and yet one single blanket kept me warm and cozy even with my windows open on a 45 degree night.SO happy. Planning to buy some extras for my kids at Christmas.

We had a blanket similar to this one. It, however, go sent to Goodwill by accident. It had a feel, cuddle factor, and texture that were unique with respect to our other blankets. I went through Amazon's entire collection of medium weight cotton blankets looking for one right one. I found it, but I had to do it with out touching it. When It came to our door, I opened it up right away to see if I made the right decision since it was more costly than other blankets. It was the right decision. Both I an my wife love the blanked. It is actually better than the one we gave away. We're very pleased with it. It not too cool and not too hot, it's just right for a good night's sleep.

If we could rate this blanket 1000 stars we would! Extremely soft with the perfect weight. I bought one and ended up buying a second one. You won't regret it.

We used this blanket for my son's bed, he likes a soft blanket. This is very well made and surprisingly soft for cotton. Think the inside of a cotton sweatshirt. It was particularly soft when we first got it, but then it started to pill badly, so we had to wash and dry it. Massive quantities of lint came off in the dryer, I had to take the lint out 3 times during the cycle, totally full. After washing, no more lint. It's still soft, but not quite as soft, just like after you wash a sweatshirt. I would definitely recommend it and it's a very quality product. Worth the money and I expect it to last a long time.
