I just received this beautiful comforter as an early Christmas present. It is so much better than it appears on this website. It is amazingly soft and quite warm. You can't really tell from seeing something on a website on in a catalog how nice something will be and you hope it will be nice. This has surpassed my expectations. The color that I received was Eggplant. It is a very pretty shade of purple.I have felt other Microplush blankets in stores, this one is much nicer than all of them. The Down filling inside helps make it even softer and a lot warmer. Very important things for cold Michigan winters. I look forward to using this wonderful comforter for many years to come.The top side is Microplush and the underside is a smooth microfiber type material. That smooth underside warms up after a little while against your skin, but the Microplush really helps warm you up, and the Down filling inside helps trap the warmth. The edging is a very pretty satin which adds to how nice this comforter looks. This will make a beautiful addition to anyone's bedroom. The quality of the material and the quality of the stitching is excellent. It is a bit larger than other King size down comforters I have seen, I have a Twin size bed, I fold King size bedding over so it is twice as thick. Especially nice when all sizes are the same price.Thank you so much, I absolutely LOVE this comforter! If you are hesitating buying this because you are not sure it will be as nice as it looks, go ahead and buy this one, you will not be disappointed.
