Amazon.com Review
This dreamily soft blanket from Martex feels just like velvet, but is remarkably lightweight and easy to maintain. It is made with millions of nylon surface fibers and two layers of insulating polyurethane foam for maximum warmth and comfort. The plush surface won’t mat or pill no matter how many times the blanket is washed. Plus, it won’t fade or lose its velvety softness. This blanket is used in many hotels around the world because it’s hypoallergenic and withstands frequent washings. Because it’s breathable and lightweight, it’s perfect for use in all seasons. Since it’s available in a range of stylish colors, it will compliment any décor. This blanket would add a special touch of luxury to your guest bed, but once you experience its softness, you’ll probably want one for your own bed, as well. --Susannah Detlef

Year Round Comfort
I love this "Martex Vellux Blanket". It has the look and feel of luxary at a reasonable price. It adds a nice extra layer of warmth that could be used with a comforter in the winter or by itself in warmer weather.It washes up beautifully. I washed it in cold water before I used it and it did not fade or shrink and was even softer then when it came out of the package.Be sure to check your lint trap after drying though,I had quite a build up of fuzz after the first washing.

The cranberry is a beautiful shade.It is even deeper than the picture here depicts and adds quite a festive look for the holidays. I am mixing and matching it with the whimsical flannel "Snowman Plaid Print" sheets and comforter and it made an easy and inexpensive seasonal decor.

This full/queen size is ample enough for a queen size, and may even be a little big for a full.It came with laundering and storage instructions and was packed in a plastic zip case.The instructions had the "WestPoint Stevens Inc" name on it, so you can be pretty assured of a quality item.

Nice for a new look, for comfortable cozy warmth for your bed, for holiday visitors, or just to wrap up in in front of the fireplace or TV.And at this price you could get a different color for every season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping.....Laurie

VELVET SOFT - SUNSHINE WARM
While Martex calls this blanket "Vellex" I found it closer to velour - it's extremely soft and light in weight yet provides maximum warmth.

A plus for the appearance of this blanket is that it's equally at home in the bedroom or den. There's a wide variety of colors so you can easily find one to fit your personal color scheme.

We keep ours folded on the sofa for quick naps or extra warmth when reading or watching television.

Great blanket!
Wonderfully soft, no pilling, available in great colors!! Ever try to fall asleep with too few/too many covers? You need this blanket! Wonderfully light, use it by itself, or on top of the coverlet for those spring nights, or as a second blanket during the winter! You can't go wrong!
