BEDSURE a seller that is located in CHINA
The product is made in CHINA
The product arrived in a box with a label, stuck on it not like packaging. You would see if you were buying a blanket at a retail store.
Upon removing it from its airtight inner sealed bag, it had a very strong chemical odor to it, and it was very smashed. I placed it in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes and it really did help to remove the odor and fluff the blanket up.
I'm a little confused why this blanket is only for a woman and girls? At least that's what I had for when I read the title of the listing so I guess if you are a man, you cannot have this blanket kind of odd and if I were the seller, I would change that because it definitely will affect search results...
I used the blanket on top of my bed as an actual comforter. My bed is a full-size bed. I ordered a queen size blanket, and it covers it nicely.
It is probably one of the softest blankets I have ever felt in my life and yes, I would recommend this if you were in the purchase for a nice large, soft, cozy blanket!

Great size, comfortable blanket
Color: Off White, Size: Full
I Love this blanket. It’s so soft and I sleep with it every night. It’s held up well since I’ve purchased it months ago. There’s very minimal shedding/ lint. I would give it a good wash and dry to help with that before using. Great value for money would purchase again. I have a full size bed and it fits very nicely.
