- Original King Blanket - Soft Nylon Insulated Blanket for Bed Couch - Lightweight Machine Washable All Season - Pet Friendly Durable Wont Pill or Lint - 108x90 – Beige

This Vellux Original blanket is the same model that I remember using in my youth. I still love the softness and subtle structure of the blanket. It is lightweight and provides a medium amount of warmth. I use it layered between my bedspread and top sheet.

this is the best blanket I have ever purchased. Very soft and also very warm. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I love the Vellux blankets as they're light weight but warm. I would order them again and again as they're great. They launder well too

I needed new bedding for our new king-size bed (upgraded from queen) and was very excited to find a Vellux blanket at a good price. In my experience, these are nice warm blankets and great quality. Wisconsin winters mean warmth is top priority in a blanket, not softness. I personally like a blanket with a little weight to it, but apparently that is contrary to the norm, as all the blankets seem to be advertised to be lightweight. By the time I make my bed, though, with sheets, two blankets, and a quilt, I have a bit of weight to make me comfortable, but not so much that my husband is uncomfortable. So there is one problem with this blanket, and it is very specific to a very specific kind of person. My husband has a strong aversion to cotton balls and anything with a similar texture. I have learned that this is not as rare a phobia as one might think. Fleece is always risky with him. Some fleece is soft enough that he never bats an eye, and some fleece has a texture that causes him to avoid it. And then there's this fleece. When I pulled the blanket out of the package, I immediately noted that it was an unusual texture, but I suspect it will soften with washing. However, we needed to get the bed made right then with no time for washing. When I started to unfold the blanket, I noticed how the fleece sticks to itself, almost like velcro, and even made a sound similar to what you hear when pulling velcro apart. When I finally had enough unstuck to toss to my husband (he was helping me make the bed), he grabbed it and immediately dropped it like it was a hot coal. The only way he could bring himself to touch that blanket was with gloves on. It probably sounds silly to some people, but if you or someone you know shares this aversion to cotton balls, you will completely understand what a big deal this is. I got lucky that this blanket is well-sandwiched between the sheet and a soft blanket, so once the bed is made, there is no reason for him to touch it. And I am hopeful that a wash or two will soften it enough to allow him to touch it without panic. For now, though, I am praying that the velcro quality of this blanket will keep it stuck to the other blanket well enough that it won't accidentally touch him in the middle of the night. Basics: Blanket is warm, fits bed okay - not nearly as much drape on sides as I would like, only about 4-5" on each side, and the length is such that there isn't a great amount to tuck in, so hopefully the top blanket (longer) will keep it tucked. Texture of blanket is unusual, definite concern for people who have aversion to cotton or other textural issues.

This is the blanket I grew up with that is so hard to fund. 100% Nylon as expected. Perfect. Keeps you just warm enough and cool enough at the same time. Good quality, very happy. Tip: wash on cool delicate and dry on low. It will take a couple cycles. Always clean out lint trap between cycles. There will be small fine puff balls in the trap, this is expected.

Super warm and soft. Great for lounging on sofa or on bed. Great price

Bought this blanket to use when camping out on the sofa looking at movies and ended up using full time on my king-size bed instead. It is super plush and warm to say it is so light weight and is listed as a King size throw. It didn't shed after several washings and still has the same intensity of color as when bought. If you are looking for a light weight year round comfortable throw / blanket that fits nicely on your bed and as a throw this one is well worth it. Definitely would buy again.

i'm compelled to write my first review in my more-than-a-decade on amazon. this blanket (in its current version) is truly awful. i've loved the vellux brand my whole life. i had my last (good) vellux blanket since the 90s and only got rid of it as a result of an unfortunate dog-and-skunk incident. the martex label (currently owned by 'westpoint home') is now made in china (despite westpoint's claims and according to the tag on the blanket itself). it's significantly thinner than its older, american counterpart. that spongy foam feeling that the old blankets had? gone. worse yet is the smell. the new blankets reek of formaldehyde. the smell does *not* wash out -- which is curious because the *entire rest of the blanket* did. a single laundering was enough to destroy the new martex vellux blanket. what happens is that the nylon flocking comes completely undone from the paper-thin foam core in little, smelly fabric pills that get all over the washer. the remainder of the blanket pills up and falls off in the (no heat!) dry cycle. all that was left of my first westpoint martex vellux blanket (moss green, if it matters) was the flimsy grid and a few bits of formaldehyde-smelling nylon. because i have so greatly loved this product in the past, and because this particular blanket was so easily and weirdly destroyed, i re-ordered it -- a replacement for my replacement. i counted on this whole situation as having been just an awful fluke. nope. westpoint martex vellux blanket #2 fared no better. in fact, westpoint martex vellux blanket #2 broke my dryer. maybe i'm a chump, but it's only because i am so very loyal to the blanket of my youth (and twenties). i'd even be willing to try a vellux blanket again someday, so long as it's not westpoint's mertex vellux (manufactured in china). a complete disappointment.

I love this blanket, it's as warm as thick duvet without the weight. 100% recommend it.

these are so soft and light, love the colour

Bought for my granddaughters as a Christmas present.

Maravilhoso

Been using this brand and line for over 15 years. Just find the product is no longer the same quality as it was back then. Still good but not as warm and soft like before.
