I like this blanket alot. It's not heavy. Let's my skin breath. It seems to me that it's more like a glorified throw. My photos show it in natural daylight and at night with ambient lamplight. My husband is a bit hot blooded and he likes it because our microfiber and polyester comforters made us both hot and i'm not hot blooded but I do get hot flashes. So far, no hot flashes at night. Maybe it helps as the blanket is thin as well.I really like the weave. That's what caught my attention initially. We have had it about a month and it looks the same. No unraveling or tearing. No pills. Will return for more Eddie Bauer products.
