I guess once they've been matted down a bit they aren't able to be revived?:/

[glmama]

Anyone think I can revive them somehow?

Glamma, probably not. I have 6 of these and a couple have done this too. Not sure why, asiI wash on cold, no softener and dry on air dry. I do have dryer balls and I can't remember if I used them on the 2 that lost their poof. My others are fine. Of course they are newer. I still use my ones that aren't as new, as they are my favorite colors. Their still warm, just not as silky feeling.

Nadia-Thank u. I figured this was the case-which is a bummer--but what I kinda expected. :/

I own several of them. As a matter of fact I just picked up a King size white fluffy one from the cleaners this week.

Normally I wash them but I thought it might not get as clean so I decided this time to put it in the cleaners. Mistake. I love the lady who does my dry cleaning. She cleans and presses my sheets. I've even bought her the kind of laundry detergent I use because she liked the smell of my clothes.

However.....when I picked it up it was in the clear plastic zipper bag but right away I noticed it wasn't anywhere near as white as when I washed it in my washer. Then when I took it out, it wasn't as fluffy. Since I'd paid around $20 to get it cleaned I decided to go ahead and use it for a few weeks.

I have a pink one and a green one. I will shove them into my washing machine and put them away for the summer. Also, I will clean the white one.

My advice is to put it into the washer and dryer (it says you can wash them). Here's what I do. I wash it 2 sometimes 3 times (unfolding each time). That way even though it is shoved in it gets clean.

That's just me though. I don't necessarily recommend that for anyone else, it works for me and is definitely better looking and way more fluffy when I do it.

Use a half cup of ammonia in the wash cycle

Just for information, I had a couple of girlfriends who married into dry cleaning family businesses (in different states) and they told me that anything that is brought in that is washable, will be washed, not dry cleaned. I asked at my local cleaners, and they confirmed this.

Not sure if this happens everywhere, but just something I found out, and if I know that is going to happen, I just wash it myself, rather than pay that big price to the cleaners. If it is too large for my washer, I go to the laundromat.

I own a couple of the fluffy blankets in queen size, and I'm not a big fan, as I think they look kind of low rent after the velvet version came out. I like it much better.

I have this set of two fleece throws and since my cat has taken over them, I've washed them (as a pair) several times on medium heat, maybe 6 or 7 times now. I also tumble dried them on low heat.

The beige one's texture has slightly changed, the fur strands have stuck together in spikes a little bit but it is still full and fluffy. So it's still OK so far and is still a long way off that awful flattened felted look.

The grey one hasn't changed at all. I think it looks exactly as it did when I bought it. How odd!

Just washed my two for the first time today. Used cool water and let them air dry. They don't seem to have changed from when I first got them with the exception that one hem has come out.
