Promising review: "I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical to buy these because they were so cheap. When I got them I was a little concerned they wouldn’t look appealing because they’re thin pieces of plastic with little foam adhesive pieces. But I was very wrong, i put them in my daughters room and they really helped bring the room together." —Zahra

Promising review: "I shopped around before choosing these, and I ultimately settled on this two-piece set for the value and cute-but-not-cutesy neutral pattern. I was honestly a bit concerned about the size both because of my kids' ages and number of toys, but it was unfounded; we had to resort to putting in throw blankets on top of the stuffed animals (and they had a LOT of stuffies) to floof it out into a full beanbag seat. Both boys have been enthusiastically using these! I am not worried at all that these will hold up to my boys dragging them all over the house, plopping on 'em wherever, for a good bit of time to come. I really enjoy that there's one for each kid and it keeps their stuff contained." —Prime shopper

Can easily be used as a pillow because it is so large. It arrives compressed in shrink wrap so it can be mailed in a smaller box. It immediately puffs into its true size once the plastic is removed. Bought this on a lightning deal and couldn't be happier 👏👏👏"—LoriAnnR

We initially got it because we thought it would be a funny gift to open, but the softness of this blanket is such a pleasant surprise. The size is perfect to really wrap up in.

I've only put one out so far as we are still 'remodeling' my youngest son's room, but the boys were thrilled with the first.
