I keep this on my living room couch normally but I love throwing it into the car for road trips or park outings. I don't know how to describe it with accurate terms but the texture of the blanket isn't like a fuzzy soft one-- it is more like one that you use and don't worry about it ripping or falling apart. It feels solid and substantial. you can see the weaving of the material but can't feel it if that makes sense. it kinda reminds me of a thick Turkish towel because it is strong but feels nice. :) Loving it!
