The material is very silky and cool to touch and the colors are nice too. This blanket is lightweight and is great quality. This works even better than just covering with thin sheet all night and all year long.

The cooling feature is amazing which has everything to do with the material. The blanket has two sides, one is cooler than the other. They operate almost exactly as iso chill golf shirts.

My dog has a serious fixation with always wanting to be swaddled in a blanket. It's like sleeping with the cold side of the pillow all night, except it’s a blanket!

It's impossible to get every wrinkle out of the sheets, so it always looks wrinkly. Can't dry clean it and can't put it in the dryer. Doesn't cool or heat anymore than any other blanket.

Vinegar helps soften and cut lint amount. Doesn't seem to be a problem with dogs, if the nails are groomed.

The weave of the blanket is tight like a waffle blanket should be. The weight is sufficient to make me feel secure but light and breathable. It will likely stay on my bed under a down comforter for the winter as well.

The picture online appears lavender. I have several cotton blankets that are much softer than this one including the ones i purchased at walmart's at a much cheaper price! It's warm but very scratchy.

I'm not sure how long this blanket will last at this rate of disintegration. Followed instruction for washing and still it got discolored and fuzzed out.
