I have dysautonomia and pots and heat intolerance and get very ill when overheating. The cooling side keeps me cool all night. It is lightweight and i will probably use this as my winter blanket.
This blanket is silky and light, and works like magic to keep me cool at night. It definitely has a cooling effect on one side initially. After using it for about 5 months - it is much cooler than not using it.
One side is made out of what would be used for cheap workout pants. The entire surface of the colling side has large, hard pilling. However, this is my fault -the blanket does look as pictured.
Blanket is now extremely uncomfortable and not cooling. I have an oscillating fan, but it doesn't make much of a difference. The cooling part works but be prepared for this blanket to look and feel absolutely hideous in about 2 months.
Waffle weave fluffed up adds softness and comfort, it's great. They aren't the softest but they have breathability which helps me sleep comfortably. It's not rough or itchy, more like a little stiff like linen.
Not a bad choice to keep between a sheet and a duvet though for cold nights, or for a spare bedroom. My blanket is not super soft now, but i do believe that it will soften up with a few more washings.
The size is perfect. Came quick. It is perfect! Thank me later.
The color is an exact match with the cheap * curtain panels i bought from walmart 5 years ago for $10 usd ea. The quality, look and feel are really upscale. It is pure white and looks so clean and refreshing.
This blanket is not the sized that was advertised. It shrunk between 10” and 15” both length and width on the first wash. It's heavy for a cotton blanket, which is ok for some but not for me as i like fluffy cotton blankets.
It's not as structurally “waffled” as pictured &. It feels rough on the skin, coarse, and scratchy. Also, the cotton seems stiff and not very comfortable.
