The texture on the downy side feels very good. It keeps us cool and it is so comfy! It's really silky and has a pretty design on it.

It's well-made, effective, and most importantly, it helps me get the restful sleep i need to feel my best. What a wonderful invention. Surprisingly enough it even works to cool down a hot flash spell!

My cats like to tunnel under it and managed to pull it of the bed.

Even distribution of weight. Fabric is soft. Beads stay exactly where they're supposed to-- no falling out or migrating to the edges. The weight feels brilliant and really helps me sleep.

The blanket itself is great. The color is as advertised. The recipient likes it a lot. Don't hesitate, buy this.

The glass bead blanket weighs more than 20 pounds. It is an enormous health hazard, not only for myself, but for my wife, baby and pets who are likely to get some of these beads stuck in their paws and will then attempt to lick or bite them.

Blanket smelled like wet sock. Tag on blanket says 100% polyester. Not an ounce of cotton is stitched into this blanket.

It was disappointing to find that the blanket wasn't more sturdily made. The plus side is that i'm sleeping better, which in reality isn't sating all that much.
