I was looking for a grey throw for my bed that was both goodlooking and very comfortable for our two cats. Without a soft, comfy blanket or throw at the end of our bed, the cats will try to sleep on our chests or heads, which means no sleep for us. Well, the cats absolutely love the throw and spend most of the night on it and lots of time during the day. At the same time, the throw is really great looking. It's soft, but sophisticated and adds a finishing touch to our bed. It washes and tumbles dry really well.
