Vellux C106245 Plush Full/Queen Tornado Gray Blanket

I bought this blanket because I had one for many years which recently gave up the ghost to a new puppy. It's most compelling feature was its ruggedness, but synthetics break down and I think I got my $$ worth out of it since it lasted 20 years or so. It was not warm when it was cold; it was not cool when it was hot. It did not breathe. It did wash up well, however. Mostly I stick to natural fibers for sheets and blankets.Anyway, I needed a new one for the dog situation and ordered one of these because it is Vellux and after reading all the info on Amazon. Well, the darn thing is comfortable, soft and seems to breathe and adjust to the ambient temperature, providing just enough weight and warmth to make for a restful sleep, even when it's quite warm. It washes well, the color (Sage) is true and clear. I like it so well I bought another. Time will tell if it is as rugged as its predecessor, but I may not care since it's so much better in all other ways!

I had purchased a Vellux "original" and hated it, so was hoping this version was much better. It is! Soft, warm, and the full/queen size does indeed fit either size bed! I wouldn't call this blanket "lightweight" but I prefer a blanket you can feel on you anyway. This one feels great, washed and dried like a champ, and seems like it will last a long time.

My husband was a buyer for Gimbels years ago - which was when we first discovered Velux blankets. Soft and strong - lightweight and easy care. In the past few years, we tried to replace them and the quality had deteriorated. Little holes developed and they didn't hold up. THIS NEW VELLUX blanket (beautiful beige) is better than we remember. Softer. Very cuddly. Lightweight but warm enough. I hope it holds up better than the past ones. It seems more substantial. Fingers crossed because we really like it a lot.

I bought 2 of these and they were worth every penny. The quality is really good, they’re super soft and cozy. Would buy again.

Soft warm and well made

I’ve loved these blankets for many many years. Sure they’re foam - who cares! - they feel fabulous, are lightweight and are just the perfect warmth & weight. The other one I bought recently is navy blue; love the color; only caveat is every little flotsam & jetsam shows up on it. Will keep one on my bed fir the rest of my life.

If you’re looking for a warm, fluffy, and lightweight blanket, you can cuddle up in, then this is not the blanket.However, if you are looking for a thick, warm, and wool like blanket, that will save you from a blizzard… Then this is your blanket!

It's a darned shame they will no longer being making the Original Vellux blankets, as they are head and shoulders above the other kinds. The copy-cat ones that are still called Vellux blankets are made with some kind of microfiber or something and for someone like me, with curly hair, it turns it into a fly away mess with the static electricity, no matter what I do. The Original ones are made of nylon and don't do that. I have tons of them, but now they are going away, like every other good product that comes on the market!
