The contrasting white with beige looks great with my decor. The blanket is vacuumed packed to a smaller but hefty size. The waffle knit fabric is a beautiful color and looks/feels really nice.

Cold water gentle cycle, dried on delicate lowest possible setting. The seller needs to look up the true definition of waffle weave.

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.
