Tools and Hardware Reviews of Martex Vellux Full/Queen Blanket, New Navy
Customer Review: Soft & warm, but doesn't hold up
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wish I could give this blanket a great rating, but unfortunately the fabric doesn't hold together. First noticed when blanket was a month old, one spot where the outer material has disappeared. In the spot you can see an inner weave material, but the outer material is gone. During the next several months, more of these places have appeared. I can't directly put a cause on the problem- seems to wash & dry well, no excessive lent. The blanket is used gently. I don't know! I wish I had returned it when the problem was first noticed, but time passes fast. For this problem I have to rate it at 1 star. If it didn't have this problem with holes- I would give it a 5 star. The blanket is lightweight, very soft, and keeps you warm.Customer Review: The best blanket, period.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this blanket as a gift to my mom in India a couple of years back. Was not even sure if this would suit the climate in India.
Almost every time I go back, my mom asks me to get a new one - either for herself if she wants a different color or as a gift to someone else. Anyone who uses this blanket once will not want to use anything else. It has the best qualities of cotton (light weight and smooth texture) and also keeps the right amount of warmth with good air circulation.
Overall, a highly reccomended blanket.
Customer Review: These are great blankets

Started to use these blankets 20 years ago when the allergist recommended them. They aren't as cozy as some other materials, but they last a long time with multiple washings. They don't lose their shape and are great for someone with allergies.Customer Review: Vellux Blankets Are SO Warm and Luxurious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my navy blue Vellux blanket for our Queen size bed for several years now. It's amazing at how this blanket holds warmth! In fact, we use it as a bedspread. Sometimes, it gets a bit *too* hot!
It feels velvety and sensual and looks that way, too. We've washed it lots of times and it's never faded...not once. It's quite a bulky blanket, though, so you'll likely have to wash it all by itself. It's not heavy, it's just, well, *substational*.
We loved it so much, we bought our son a twin sized one for his bed!
If you're looking for an attractive blanket that's warm and soft, Vellux is a wonderful choice for your bedding needs. It's well worth the price!

I was hesitant to purchase this blanket after reading the negative reviews, but I'm glad I purchased 2 and will be purchasing 2 more. The blanket MUST be washed before using as it does feel stiff right out of the package (as most things do). There was no excessive lint after washing and drying; perhaps different colors shed more than others.
Purchased the light green, washed them, used them for a couple of hours, and I think they are wonderful. Light-weight and hold in body heat very well.
As far as the complaints about 'unfinished edges', there is no need to finish a selvedge edge, hemming would only add bulk. Regarding the negative comment of 'I can see my hand through it': This can be achieved by pulling it tightly over your hand and finding an extremely bright light.
If there is such a thing as a perfect blanket, this is the one.
