Utopia Bedding Cotton Waffle Blanket Reviews Summary

Texture and Comfort

Pros:

• "Beautiful blanket. Soft and light weight."
• "It is perfectly soft and comfortable and the waffle weave is a very nice, light texture (I have sensory issues)."
• "Soft, comfortable, and lightweight. Exactly what I was looking for!"
• "However after washing, the blanket was super soft!"
• "Huge size perfect for our king size bed and so so so comfy!!!"
• "The waffle weave not only gives texture and dimension, but it’s pretty."
• "It's soft and feels cozy and keeps me warm and comfortable while I sleep."

Cons:

• "I regret buying this... it's just okay. It's a bit scratchy for a blanket."
• "The fabric was rough as well."
• "This is not soft at all."
• "If you're coming from a microfiber blanket you're going to think this blanket is stiff and not soft."
• "It's a bit scratchy for a blanket, and not the kind of blanket I thought I was buying."
• "But if you're looking for a soft cozy blanket this isn't it."
• "When I see waffle textured products I think of warmth and insulation. This blanket is much too thin. More like a heavy sheet."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This Utopia Bedding Store brand waffle weave blanket is made of 100% cotton... it is ring spun and made of high quality cotton."
• "It is very high quality and I think would be a great medium weight throw/ blanket."
• "I love that it is 100% cotton, it is very comfortable and actually very comforting as well."
• "Its really heavy and you can tell its durable."
• "Haven't had any problems with stitching coming loose or frayed strings left hanging."
• "The quality is excellent and it is warm coupled with other blankets and cool used with just a sheet."
• "The quality is very good."

Cons:

• "Now it doesn't fit either way on the queen bed like it did before we washed it."
• "BUT after the first wash straight out of the packaging it's blotchy with areas of color loss."
• "I ordered the plum/purple color in a king. The blanket had color bleeding in many spots and it looked horrible."
• "The quality is quite cheap and the waffle texture is easily destroyed."
• "Most of the seam didn’t hold in the wash. As well as a bunch of lighter splotches showing up all over it after being washed."
• "I washed it, dried it, then immediately discovered several pulled threads, and some large clumps of tangled, wadded-up pulled threads."
• "This discoloration happened after only one wash and dry."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "The twin size that I bought is much larger than other lightweight blankets I looked at, giving full coverage even as he moves around."
• "I like the blanket just wish it were a little bigger. When I make my bed I only have about 4 inches overlap on the sides."
• "I ordered the big 120x120 size for my king bed and even after washing it, it is still massive."
• "The queen size fits perfectly on our queen bed and is on year round."
• "I’m glad I purchased the king for my queen bed because I think it worked out better."
• "This blanket covers the sides and foot of my adjustable split king bed perfectly."
• "I have a twin size mattress, but I got the full size blanket and it fits perfectly with a little extra drop which is what I wanted."

Cons:

• "I bought the queen-sized blanket in navy, but it’s roughly 6-8 inches too narrow for my mattress."
• "The queen size is a bit too small for the queen bed I have and I should have gotten a king."
• "If you tuck in the sides you can't tuck in the bottom. If you tuck in the bottom you can't tuck in the size, why? because it isn't big enough for a queen size bed."
• "It just barely covers the bed. It is too small to be considered a queen sized blanket; it would be better suited for a full sized bed."
• "The king size I received is not a king at all. It is too small."
• "It’s definitely small for a king bed. If it was bigger I’d love it."
• "Queen bed width is 60”, so a 90x90 size might work for a very short mattress (less than 9”) if the blanket did not shrink on washing, but this one shrinks significantly."

Washing and Maintenance

Pros:

• "Love everything about it. Washed beautifully, with no shrinkage."
• "I promptly washed and dried the blanket and it still looks great, it did not curl up or shrink."
• "It washes well. I wash in cold water on delicate cycle and dry on low with no fabric softener."
• "Came out of the washer and dryer without shrinkage or color loss."
• "It washes beautifully. I bought the Navy blue and it has retained it's deep color."
• "It’s a high quality item for a great price and perfectly fit into the beach house."
• "We are happy with how they wash and dry as well!"

Cons:

• "I ordered this blanket and put it in the wash. Came out blotchy with pink hues."
• "When it went into the dryer the chemical smell now even stronger mixed with a burning smell."
• "I washed one of the blankets on a cold, gentle cycle...The color of the blanket also faded significantly."
• "I’m not sure what the issue is with the fabric but it became very heavy in the wash to the point where the machine couldn’t complete the spin cycle and gave an error code."
• "Other reviewers are correct. The color became splotchy with the very first wash, before i could even use it once."
• "I put them in the wash and the blanket completely discolored in areas."
• "Didn't realize just HOW MUCH IT HAD SHRUNK UP until we went to put it on the bed again."
