ive been using the same blanket every night (except when its getting washed) for nearly 20 years, much to my wifes annoyance (we use our own blankets as we are both rollers and blanket theifs). i dont intend to stop using this one anytime soon, just as good as when i bought it

    Frankly my favorite are just generic hospital blankets.

    I still use a couple i stole from the hospital (or rather paid for through insurance and seized) when my kids were born 7+ years ago. THey are awesome, and very easy to wash. Hell you can even bleach em.

    Man... Some family member made my mom a blanket when she started college.

    A decade later, she gifted it to tiny me while I was sick.

    When I started college, she got my grandmother to help her unstitch it, replace the batting and quilt stitch the original fabric to help it last longer.

    That was 15 years ago.

    I still have that blanket on my bed.
