Love it! Both sides, soft, cool and cozy
I am a very HOT sleeper and I love this blanket! I have a couple other cooling blankets including the Rest brand which is now extremely expensive. This blanket is just as good as Rest's, if not better because it has two different sides. The cooling side does stay very cold to the touch and the microfiber side is very cozy and snuggy without overheating me. I like the weight of the blanket it's not too heavy but it's not too light or thin. Even my cat loves this blanket! She has a lot of blankets/ places to sleep but often I find her on my bed curled up on this blanket in particular. Just be sure to always wash in cold water and dry without any heat. I wash mine in cold and either use the no heat cycle of my dryer or more often air dry it, hanging it over my bedroom door with a fan pointed on it. Because of the material it dries quickly.

Edredón de pluma de ganso
Color: White/All Season, Size: Queen
I’m extremely happy with this comforter. The quality is outstanding — it feels soft, fluffy, and luxurious, just like a hotel duvet. The cotton fabric is breathable and comfortable, making it perfect for all seasons. It keeps me warm at night without feeling too heavy or overheating.
The stitching and overall construction are very well done, and it looks beautiful on the bed. It also arrived well packaged and expanded nicely after opening. The Queen size fits perfectly and gives the bed a clean, elegant look.
For the price, this is an amazing value. Highly recommended if you want a cozy, high-quality comforter that feels premium!
