I bought this for my son's girlfriend and she loves it!! She said it is really soft and the perfect size to curl up with on the couch to watch tv. She loves Manatees which is why I thought it would be perfect for her. She was diagnosed with cancer almost a year ago and said this is her go-to blanket on days of her treatment and the day after when she doesn't feel good. She said it is nice and snuggly and it n me she's her feel like I'm giving her a hug!
