Does this blanket hold up well in the laundry?

Yes - surprisingly well. It's very light weight, so don't expect a heavy blanket. I use it to cover and protect my couch (we have dogs) and it's the perfect weight.

I wash them every week along with the sheets and it's been several years, no pilling, no wear, no fraying of any kind. This blanket holds up extremely well.

I don't know yet. I put it on a spare bedroom bed so it doesn't get used much. I was happy with the size and weight. I bought two.

Yes! I've had mine over a year and i wash it at least once a month. It still looks brand new.

The better buy is the "J & M Home Fashions 108-Inch by 90-Inch Fleece Blanket" sold here on Amazon for $19.99 w/free shipping.

I have had no problems with any piling and shedding as of yet. We have used the blanket for about 2 months now. I have a sheet between us and the blanket and a light blanket on top. I do not regret buying it at this time.

I purchased the blanket 6 months ago and used it since and not washed it yet. There is a chemical smell when you first open the package but it disappears in about 2 days if you just air-out the blanket. I have sheets below the blanket and a comforter over the blanket, so it doesn't get dirty. I've found that these type of blankets last longest if you don't wash them too often. I wash mine 2x a year but I don't have kids, dogs, no smoking, no eating in bed, etc., so things stay pretty clean. Hope that helps!

I have tossed mine in with a load of clothes on warm several times and they seem to be holding up just fine. The only thing I've noticed is a bit of fading.

I had mine through winter and it held up well. I also washed it a lot though

Honestly no it's not that soft, but I haven't washed it yet. I do not believe it's 100% cotton, but I intend on using mine more as a decorative piece. I found a couple other minky blankets that match and are super soft.

Well, it's for sure more fragile than a towel, but it holds up very well for a comforter. I bought this to replace a comforter that was coming apart from washing. I wash this one in a tumble-style (front loader) washer here at my apartment complex. I do so every week or two. I don't think I am supposed to add bleach, but I do. I have had the thing over a year, and it still looks great. The one I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond would have totally self-destructed by now. So I am pleased with how well it holds up, and because I bleach it, it looks brand new.

Yes--it's soft enough to fold up into the washer. My dog enjoys dragging his bedding out into the yard through his dog door...where it inevitably gets rained on. I've washed mine 4 times in 6 months, and while it's starting to get a little flat, it's held up well to the washings.

My dog urinated on this blanket a month after I purchased it. What I did was just wash it by itself in normal detergent in the washer on a delicate setting and then I put it in the dryer by itself also on the delicate setting. I was worried maybe the inside of the blanket would get uneven and warped but it didn't at all - it all stayed in place perfectly fine and the stain came right out.

Yes, it is. Just remember to wash it in cold water. I dry it on the medium cycle and have had no problems with shrinkage. I have the king size blanket and if I fit it in my high efficiency washer just right, it launders beautifully.

The one we have seems to wash fine. Numbers haven't fallen off. It's not made out of the best material in the world, but it's holding up well with my son who wears it about 3 times per week.

It's been washed a number of times and still looks great. Each time it's been washed it was placed in a dryer, comes out a little limp but outside of that - no problem.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

So far, we have machine washed it twice and it seems to fluff up again after a couple of days. We are happy with it and it's much better than a bottom of the line comforter. The cheap are the worst and get flat, but this is higher quality.

We had this outside all summer and now inside. No problems with it and has not flattened out. As for washing, we have not thrown in the washer just washed off with hose and spot sprayed. Still looks like new.

The first washer i had an old Sears 900 series could wash it although barely . i have a newer Maytag with an extra large capacity that it does just fine in. So I guess it depends on the size washer you have if it can handle the wet weight of it. Also. I take a fine tooth comb to it after drying comes out so nice. I love this blanket!
