Is this blanket warm enough for winter?

On its own, no. The fill is light, so most people use it as a layer under a heavier comforter in winter.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes. It is machine washable, which matters for a white blanket that shows marks.

Is it down or polyester?

Polyester. It is a down-alternative blanket, so it is synthetic rather than filled with real down.

What size bed does it fit?

It is a Twin size, so it fits a single or Twin bed.

Does it work as a summer blanket?

Yes. Its light weight suits mild weather and warm rooms.

Our take on the Mainstays Solid Twin Down Alternative Blanket

A plain white Twin blanket from Mainstays with a polyester down-alternative fill. It is a light, everyday layer meant to sit on the bed on its own in mild weather or under a duvet when it gets cold. The draw is simplicity: a solid white look, a soft synthetic fill and machine washing. It is not a heavyweight comforter, and shoppers wanting warmth for winter nights should look at a thicker fill or a wool blanket instead.
