Bloomingdale'sMy Down Blanket - Exclusive

Shrinkage - Very Disappointed!

I bought this down blanket to be a lighter layer than our down comforter which is often too warm. Before putting it on the bed I washed it according to the instructions on the label, and it shrunk to a point where it might only work on a queen or a double bed. The published width of the blanket is 98 inches vs. a standard King mattress which is 76 inches wide, which would mean that it should hang down 11 inches on each side. The generous width is the entire reason I chose this blanket rather than other options! After washing and drying on low with tennis balls in the dryer as instructed, it gave up a lot of down in the dryer and it hangs down maaaybe 2 inches on each side. This is a shocking and very disappointing amount of shrinkage - it looks absolutely ridiculous on the bed and once 2 people are under it it doesn't come close to reaching the edges of the mattress. Do not recommend.
