🛏️ Soft and Warm Full/Queen Vellux Blanket - Insulated for Home, Bed & Sofa - Navy, Pet-Friendly Review

This is not our first purchase of a Vellux blanket. The first 2 we owned lasted many years. That's one of the reasons we bought another one. Unsurpassed in warmth and softness, Vellux duvets are also lightweight. They are suitable for several seasons - keep you warm but not too hot. Purchased as a queen size, this duvet offers good coverage in both the length and width. Vellux washes like a dream. Retains its shape and softness through multiple washes and tumble dry without shrinking.

I had my first vellux duvet for about 8 or 9 years when it finally started to pill in the wash. So I bought another one less than a year ago.

It went to the wash today, cold wash/cold rinse, and I couldn't believe the amount of flock just peeled off the base. It goes in the trash and I'm looking for something else…

I didn't have the problems described by others. At first there was a very very slight smell when my face was close to the ceiling but it went away.

You can't compare it to anything either, after all a fairly deeply saturated blue color. It's pretty bright on its own, but I was hoping for the deep…

If you've ever had a Vellux comforter you know how thick and soft it was - it's not the original comforter. First I opened the plastic bag and the first thing I saw was a hole - in one place there was no herd. Even without taking it out of the box, I saw that it was really thin and the fibers were completely different from the original. Do you remember thick plush fibers? Well, now it's just thin, spiky flocked fabric. You know those cheap bows you see on spiky Christmas velvet? Here is the…

After the sheet was washed before use, it found a way to absorb every ounce of lint in the dryer. I thought I just got used to it. About a week later I washed it again which resulted in even more dirt building up all over the sheet. Not wanting to continue sleeping on a bed that looked like it had been made by a madman, I tried washing and drying it again. No improvements. I gave up on the fact that the washing machine could help my sheets look cleaner and attempted to manually remove the dirt…
