Review on NEWLAKE Bedspread Stitched Embroidery Paisley by Holly Walker

I have Pets, so I need washable bedding, and I like to sleep, so it has to be breathable and made from natural fibers. Washing: technically 5/5 - yes you 'can' wash and dry it, practically 2/5 wash The instructions say not to tumble dry, but since it's 100% cotton I did it anyway. Now my queen size comforter barely covers the sides of the mattress (with a platform bed, no box spring). I was supposed to get a double bed for my double bed, but I really didn't want the hassle of having that much weight in the washing machine. Every time I wash and dry this comforter, the lint filter is full of lint. It also fades easily with each wash. Breathability: 5/5 This blanket has a lot of weight for me and I can even add a thin cotton blanket in the colder months without getting too hot and sweaty. Very pretty! Pets: 3/5 (just because it needs frequent washing and I don't know how long it will last) It has withstood the claws and fangs of a large dog and two cats amazingly well, showing off its black not gray hair. It washes and dries pretty well despite shrinkage, slight fading and a TON of lint. For an inexpensive blanket, I'm satisfied, but it doesn't exceed expectations.
