I love this "Martex Vellux Blanket". It has the look and feel of luxary
at a reasonable price. It adds a nice extra layer of warmth that could
be used with a comforter in the winter or by itself in warmer weather.It
washes up beautifully. I washed it in cold water before I used it and
it did not fade or shrink and was even softer then when it came out of
the package.Be sure to check your lint trap after drying though,I had
quite a build up of fuzz after the first washing.The cranberry is a
beautiful shade.It is even deeper than the picture here depicts and adds
quite a festive look for the holidays. I am mixing and matching it with
the whimsical flannel "Snowman Plaid Print" sheets and comforter and it
made an easy and inexpensive seasonal decor.This full/queen size is ample enough for a queen size, and may even be a little big for a full.It came with laundering and storage instructions and was packed in a plastic zip case.The instructions had the... Read more

i'm compelled to write my first review in my more-than-a-decade on amazon. this blanket (in its current version) is truly awful.i've loved the vellux brand my whole life. i had my last (good) vellux blanket since the 90s and only got rid of it as a result of an unfortunate dog-and-skunk incident. the martex label (currently owned by 'westpoint home') is now made in china (despite westpoint's claims and according to the tag on the blanket itself). it's significantly thinner than its older, american counterpart. that spongy foam feeling that the old blankets had? gone. worse yet is the smell. the new blankets reek of formaldehyde. the smell does *not* wash out -- which is curious because the *entire rest of the blanket* did. a single laundering was enough to destroy the new martex vellux blanket. what happens is that the nylon flocking comes completely undone from the paper-thin foam core in little, smelly fabric pills that get all...

While Martex calls this blanket "Vellex" I found it closer to velour -
it's extremely soft and light in weight yet provides maximum warmth.
A plus for the appearance of this blanket is that it's equally at home
in the bedroom or den. There's a wide variety of colors so you can
easily find one to fit your personal color scheme.We keep ours folded on the sofa for quick naps or extra warmth when reading or watching television. |
