A contempary anecdote not only confirms that Martha commanded respect in her own right during her lifetime, but also suggests an awkward truth later historians have preferred to ignore-that without Martha and her fortune, George might never have risen to social, military, and political prominence.Toward the end of his life, George Washington, war hero, retired president, and object of universal fame and veneration, was negotiating to purchase a plot of land in the new capital city, to be named in his honor. The seller, an aged veteran of the Revolution, was reluctant to part with the plot, even to so distinguished a purchaser. Washington persisted until the veteran's patience snapped: 'You think people take every grist that comes from you as the pure grain. What would you have been if you hadn't married the Widow Custis '-from the Introduction to
Martha Washington: First Lady of Liberty From the glittering social life of Virginia's wealthiest plantations to the rigors of winter camps during the American Revolution, Martha Washington was a central figure in some of the most important events in American history. Her story is a saga of social conflict, forbidden love affairs, ambiguous wills, mysterious death, heartbreaking loss, and personal and political triumph. Every detail is brought to vivid life in this engaging and astonishing biography of one of the best known, least understood figures in early American life.

Not Worth the Price
Color: Black, Size: Queen
I expected more. The images are a bit misleading with the amount of fluff and thickness the product actually has. Despite following the instructions, it’s pretty flat.
It had a funky chemically smell to it, so I sprayed with some Febreeze.
Honestly in my opinion I don’t think it’s worth $60. I think if you want something similar, go to Marshals or TJ Maxx.

Makes my camp mattress so much better.
Color: Black, Size: Full
I'm in a small motorhome and this has helped my sleep quality a ton. I got rid of my big mattress because the 2 camp mattresses I have are smaller in size, but a bit dense than the mattress I had. Uncomfortable for anyone that sleeps on them for long periods and when I come from biking or hiking the pain was making it hard to sleep. These have improved my sleep quality immensely. It also, to my surprise fit well, the cushions are only a few inches. These are up to 18, but the edge is nearly a perfect fit at the start. The straps keep it from moving. The length and width using 2 of the bed rolls is nearly perfect. On mattress the deeper part of the pocket, would fit perfectly.
The quality feels great, lightweight and washable, this is one of those items I wouldn't have likely ordered, but trying it is near priceless for my usage. Couldn't imagine how good it must be on a bed.

Very soft, cool, and comfortable.
This comforter is fantastic for a hot sleeper it stays cool all night but doesn’t freeze you the fabric feels very nice it is a bit slippery on the bed but the thickness is just perfect it has a gentle weight to it and it looks very cute as well! I would definitely recommend it to fellow hot sleepers.

In love with this
Color: White, Size: Queen (90''x90'')
Update: I’m so impressed with this comforter, I must share more since I’ve had it quite a while. I like to drink coffee in bed, and I have to bad habit of eating in bed sometimes. Hence, drips and drops and the need to launder my comforter. I do not have large heavy duty machines. They are stackable RV machines. My queen comforter fits it both the washer and dryer with ease. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve already laundered it. I put a little Spray and Wash on the area I’ve spilled something. The stains come out every single time. But what’s most impressive is that it comes out of the dryer wrinkle free. When I put it back on my bed, it looks as new as the first time. I still get the sense of cooling, which I love. The underside feels so smooth, soft and comfortable against my skin that I no longer use a top sheet. Great product and so well made. ❤️
While this comforter is lightweight over the body, it looks cushy and cozy on my bed. I am post menopausal and often feel too warm at night while others in the home are comfortable. This comforter feels cool immediately upon crawling into bed. It does eventually warm up to body temperature, but if I become too warm, it’s easy enough to shift in my bed where the comforter stays cool. The size is perfect for my queen sized platform bed. I make my bed with ease in the mornings. Love it!

Really pretty and comfortable
Super comfy, cooling, and not too heavy. I could use it all year long as well. It's not so cooling that you would be cold with it during colder seasons especially if you're a hot sleeper. I really like the seersucker texture on this and I hope they make more colors available.
