 STAY AWAY!!!! December 31, 2008

I can say Amazon is awesome with shipping!!!I have to say though I am very disappointed in the quality of this blanket. I have several of these blankets from 10 years ago that are thick and plush. I purchased the Navy and washed it on the hand wash cycle in the wash. The thing still smells and I swear I could have made my own blanket from what was left in the wash and in the lint trap of the dryer(twice I had to clean it out). This blanket was bought for my four year old who has allergies and adopted my blanket I keep on my bed. The blanket I just received is thin, still sheds after being washed and stinks, I am afraid to let him use it. I hope no other people make the mistake and purchase this item. Shame on me for thinking I was getting a good deal, the next day I log in to make a review the price had also dropped. This blanket just sucks!!!

Very Poor Quality & Horrible Chemical Odor! The blanket arrived smelling terrible. It had a strong chemical odor that I assume came from the manufacturing process. I had to launder it twice to get the odor out. I dried it in my automatic dryer both times, and it left a lot of fuzz in the lint filter both times. The blanket was very thin to begin with, and even thinner after the two launderings/dryings. After putting it on my bed and using it only a few nights, I discovered a tear in the middle of it. This blanket is NOT the same "Vellux" that was sold 20-25 years ago. I have had 3 of the original "Vellux" blankets for 20-25 years, and they are still in good shape. They are much thicker and sturdier than this "Vellux" blanket I purchased from Amazon in November, 2008. It is very thin and not at all sturdy, as evidenced by the tear after only a few nights' use.
Great way to beat the cold! December 22, 2008

I saw this blanket adverstised and it looked so soft. My daughter was leaving for college in New England, so I wanted to get her something to keep her warm. This blanket was a hit! Not only is it a favorite of my daughter's but I'll order one for myself as soon as I decide on a color. You'll love it as much as I do.
Great product but colour not accurate... December 18, 2008

Great product, exactly as I expected but it is more of a cream colour rather then white. Still highly recommended.
 An Otherwise Great Blanket... December 17, 2008

While Martex blankets look good, feel soft, and provide a fair amount of warmth, there is one major drawback - they shed like crazy! Any contact with the blanket will cause its small, glistening strands to adhere to your clothing. This, as you can imagine, is quite annoying.
