Cotton Loft Damask Cotton Filled Throw

I wanted a medium weight comforter-like throw for my 2.5 year old son's bed, and this is it! He's still in a toddler bed, so twin-sized blankets are far too large. I like that this feels like a good comforter-- woven cotton, not fleece or velour, etc. I tried a thermal blanket before, but it was a little too lightweight and sometimes my son would nap on top of it and wake up with "waffle face." I also like that it's lightly filled, but not especially stuffed, which is fine for our California bay-area nights and his warm pjs. My son and I also both like the navy color. I washed it in warm water and dried it on medium heat before putting it on his bed. I haven't had to wash it since, but it looks great after a month. If in six months it's ratty and falling apart, I'll try to re-review and update my comments.

Nice throw, so soft could be used for a baby blanket. I use it on the sofa when I'm watching TV. Color is light green and very pretty.

We purchased the brown color and used two twin sized on our new Cal King bed for the winter months. They didnt look as neat as I would have liked but I think this is due to the comforter we used (see my review on that). The product on it's own is ok, but it is almost too soft, as it tended to attract lent and dog fur, so it wasn't very clean looking. I like a cotton duvet cover, but one that has a little bit more of a crisper feel.

I had to return both Cotton Damask Cotton Filled Throws - navy blue and red. I opened the package for the navy blue one and immediately noticed the filling all over the throw. I washed and dried the item hoping it would come out clean - but obviously it was worse. I returned both rather than deal with the red one. It is an inferior product and should not be sold at Overstock.
