My verdict
I found the Bedsure sherpa blanket exceptionally soft and cozy, with thickness that did not come with a lot of weight. I liked how the fibers helped it stay wrapped around me. The 60-by-80-inch version was big enough to cover me at my then-reported height of 6 feet 4 inches.
My original firsthand review
My original observations and opinions are preserved below. Prices, ordering terms, availability and quoted specifications here reflect the 2017 product version. For current purchases, Bedsure lists 100% polyester, 220 GSM flannel and 260 GSM sherpa for one current Sherpa Fleece Blanket style, with throw, Twin, Queen, King and Cal King choices. Confirm the exact SKU and care instructions on Bedsure's current product page.
The Sherpa blanket from Bedsure is one of the softest and coziest blankets sold on Amazon. At the time of my 2017 test, it was listed for $29.99; this is a historical price, not a current offer.
What is Sherpa Fabric? Sherpa is a type of fabric that is made to look and feel like fleece from sheep. It is usually a type of polyester and is often used in blanktest, children's outerwear and even boots.
Below is a video overview of me with the sherpa blanket:

My Sherpa Blanket Findings
As the Yawnder, it's nice to have a blanket associated with my moniker that is ultra cozy. This is the perfect blanket wrap around you in the evening while reading a good book. What I ilike about sherpa fabric is that you get added thickness with your blanket but not all the weight. The fibers sort of grip you as well so the blanket doesn't slide off you easily.
Not only does this blanket feel great, it looks great as well. Here's a picture of the outside of the red sherpa blanket:
Overall it would be hard to beat this sherpa blanket in terms of price and feel. I received teh 60x80 blanket which is the same size as a queen mattress. It is big enough to cover me at 6ft 4in. Unlike a wool blanket or even cotton blanket, it's not scratchy and easy to wash. This is one of those blankets you can leave out year round and would get use on a regular basis as it doesn't trap heat as much as other blankets. If you want to get warmer, I suggest layering with the sherpa blanket being your base layer.
At the time of my original review, the listing showed over 1,200 customer reviews, most favorable. That historical count should not be mistaken for today's review total.

Questions about this review
Was it large enough for me?
Yes. I reviewed the 60-by-80-inch version and wrote that it covered me at 6 feet 4 inches. That size matches a queen mattress’s top dimensions, but does not provide the side drape of a queen comforter.
Did it slide off easily?
I liked that the fibers had some grip, which helped the blanket stay around me while I was relaxing or reading.
Is sherpa actual sheep’s wool?
The reviewed Bedsure blanket was listed as 100% microfiber polyester. Sherpa describes its fluffy, fleece-like texture here, not wool content.
