Great cotton blanket - be sure you understand what that means before you buy!
This blanket is exactly what I was looking for and I think if you really understand what a pure cotton blanket is before purchasing, you will have no issue. With respect to some of the negative reviews, I agree the description is misleading when it describes the blanket as "soft." A pure cotton blanket is not going to be soft - at least not in the traditional sense. The blanket has some stiffness to it, and it has some weight to it though I would not say it is heavy by any means. It is thin, as I'd expect it to be - and in combination with the weight, this provides warmth in cooler months and stays breathable in warmer months (this is why I like, and the reason I buy, cotton blankets). In response to reviews that said the blanket is more like a tablecloth... it is not that thin, truly - but don't expect to receive a soft, fluffy blanket because that is not what this is. It is, as some reviewers have stated, very much like a hospital blanket.Details and Measurements, for reference: I ordered the blanket in white and it is pure white. I make this point because another reviewer ordered white and described what was received as ecru. I assume that must have been a mix up with the shipment because what I received is definitely a true white. The blanket did not pill after washing, and I did not find significant lint in the dryer lint trap.I'm using this blanket in a guest room and if the description is correct and the blanket is supposed to measure 90X90, it's either off, or it shrunk when I washed it. Note - I did NOT follow the instructions (must be washed in cold water, gentle cycle, as much water as possible). The blanket, after washing in warm water with other items and tumble drying low, measures about 92X82. The queen size mattress I'm using it on is about 10" high and the blanket falls about 12" from the top of the mattress on either side. It falls about 16" from the top of the mattress at the foot of the bed, enough for me to tuck in securely. So I think it works fine and I'm happy with it. That said, I purchased the same blanket in gray for another guest room with a queen bed, so I will measure the blanket before and after I wash it, and this time I will follow the instructions to see if it makes any difference and update this review accordingly.One comment about Utopia - I received an email thanking me for my purchase, offering tracking information for the item, and requesting that if there was any reason I would not rate the item as 5 stars, to please let them know and they would try to make it right. Now, I am rating the item 5 stars so I can't say how responsive they might have been if I were to have a problem, but I thought it was very proactive and customer friendly to reach out in this manner so I thought I'd mention it.

Hooray it's COTTON
Love that this is cotton - not fluffy - not polyester or fleecy - not creating static - not quilted - not padded like eiderdowns just plain cotton with slight pattern in the weave. Difficult to describe the weight for those only used to wool or synthetic products as cotton not available much now - hospital blanket is correct - other nearest would be heavy linen like old fashioned cooking apron. Some cushions are covered in this type of material. 2 or 3 would be perfect to replace a duvet. 1 could go over duvet for extra weight. Covers a double bed with plenty to spare top, bottom and sides. Have not found any others of such a good size and such a low price. Bought one then another. Brown nice deep colour. Would have liked other options too. White not practical for me.

Insane price increase
I bought this back in 2018 for £19.99 (king size) from the same seller. At that price this is well worth it. Now I see it listed for £114... definitely not worth that price. Someone might think it was sold at a lower price to get good reviews then the price was inflated afterwards.I've always needed a blanket on the end of my bed to cover my feet due to being a silly height. I have this doubled over, tucked in on 3 sides, and it still isn't enough to keep feet warm. I think this blanket is more about decoration than performance. It has lasted 3 years well though, and I can see it lasting many more. I see the title has the word "quilt" in it; I may be wrong but I only see this as a single layer fabric so not sure it meets the definition of quilt.5 stars for a £19.99 product, reduced to 2 stars for the massive price increase.

Light warm natural cotton cover.
Bought this for a light warm covering after a knee operation. It is beautiful made entirely of cotton covering a king size bed comfortably. It is light and natural so just what I wanted and I will leave it on as an extra covering in the winter months. Very good value for money. However I haven’t washed it yet so it may shrink. It was delivered within a day through Prime so I am delighted !

Perfect dust cover for beds during work
We purchased two of these (one king-size and one twin) to keep beds dust-free during building work. They have done the job perfectly. Unlike plastic sheets they remain where they are put, removing the need to re-position them.
