My pups have all kinds of coats. 

  They range from very silky/never tangles to cotton/modified that can really mat up.   
I LOVE the green Madan brush that I got from Jenny.  I'm sorry I don't remember the softness of it, but it works great on the entire range of coats in my house.  I definitely recommend the green one.
