Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love a blanket, so I was genuinely excited to be given the opportunity to review a Bedsure GentleSoft Blanket and even more excited that I got to choose the size and colour from the vast array on offer!
The Bedsure GentleSoft Blanket is available in several different size options; Throw/Single, Twin/Double, Queen and King, so there’s an option out there to suit everyone’s needs. In addition, there are 24 colour options to choose from ranging from soft pastel tones (such as Crystal Pink and Dream Blue) through to darker, bolder colours (including Navy, Black and Dark Grey), again, it would be so easy to match into your home décor. After much deliberation, I opted to try a King Size, Light Purple one.
Fortunately I didn’t have to wait long at all for it to arrive, within a few days my package arrived and I couldn’t wait to check the Bedsure GentleSoft Blanket out. The blanket was really well packaged, in an outer cardboard box which was fully recyclable and inside it was shrink-wrapped in a plastic sleeve. It arrived in pristine condition. On first sight, the size of the blanket appeared too small to be a king-sized blanket, as it was so tightly wrapped. However, as I opened the shrink-wrapping, the blanket expanded before my eyes.
All I needed to do was shake it out and pop it into position on my bed. The blanket is lightweight, which made it easy to spread over the bed and manoeuvre into position. I was really impressed with the size of the blanket as it fitted over my bed in its entirety, pillows and all – the King Size blanket measures 230 x 270cm, so it was absolutely huge, which I thought was brilliant, as so often blankets and throws come up on the smaller side and only cover the main part of the bed, not the pillows. As we have a dog, who will jump up onto our bed at any given opportunity, regardless of whether he’s been out in the rain and plonk himself down, wherever he sees fit, this blanket is perfect as it covers the whole bed, so I no longer have to worry about dirty paws!
The blanket is ultra-fluffy and super soft, which is a must for me. I’m always obsessed with stroking blankets, when I’m out in a home décor store. Made from 100% polyester, it has a ribbed/striped design, which I liked as it gives it an edge over plain, flat blankets, making it feel more modern and giving it a luxurious look.
I really loved the colour ‘light purple’ which was a soft lilac colour and fitted in perfectly with our bedroom décor; I’m so glad I chose this particular shade.
It can be machine washed and tumble dried on a low setting; at the time of review I hadn’t washed the product, so can’t comment further on this aspect.
It has an RRP of £34.99 for the King Size blanket; other sized blankets retail from £17.99. I think the RRP represents good value for money and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone else who likes luxurious items for their house, with an affordable price tag. I think this blanket would be perfect as a gift for any occasion and particularly with Father’s Day looming, there’ll be plenty of dads out there who’d appreciate such a thoughtful gift. The smaller blanket sizes would be perfect to protect a sofa or as a blanket to throw over you on a cold, winter’s night to keep you cosy and warm.
I, for one, will definitely be purchasing more to use as a blanket on our sofa and for the other beds in our house; I can’t wait to decide which colours and sizes to choose!
