Review on Premium Full/Queen Taupe Cotton Blanket by Elite Home Products: Grand Hotel Collection by Shannon Maher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They shrink: Duvets and bedspreads

These duvets shrink quite a bit, so go up a size or wash in cold water and line dry the air. I have a king and it fits my queen bed well. I have washed and dried several times and always on the hottest settings due to dust mite sensitivity. Shrinking means the blanket becomes thicker and stiffer than it was before it was washed. They can be stretched a little when lying on the bed. I have found that they shrink to a point and then stay there. They also lose a lot, but over time they become less. I only noticed this in the lint trap in the dryer, not when I layered the blanket over another material. I usually go through a break-in period and am very happy with it.

Pros
  • Testers give high marks for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as good as they say
