It is fairly thin, but man does it keep you warm! The fur and the fleece both stay soft and fairly in the same state after washing/drying (the fleece side does knob up after awhile, but that's typical for fleece).

The feel is so comfortable and relaxing. A nd the price is super affordable!

I have tried every other kind of non-traditional chair on the market (kneeling, ergonomic, backless, yoga ball, etc.) in an attempt to find something that achieves the same things this chair does for a fraction of the price, and can tell you that there's really no equivalent out there — honestly, I probably spent more money trying to find cheaper alternatives for this chair than I did had I just purchased it outright when I first saw it." — Amy K. Get it from Amazon for $349 (available in six colors). 28. A set of six rustic-style ceramic ramekins so versatile that you'll be putting them to WORK.
