I am copying my review for the Ribbed Microfleece heated blanket.. I purchased this one 1st.. but Loved this blanket so much, i purchased the ribbed one too.
My husband is perpetually chilly, and it compromises decent sleep for him.
I decided to see if a heated blanket might do the trick.. and the answer is YES..
-- in contrast to my husband I am perpetually overheated.. but I also Love this blanket.
I set the pre-heat before we get into bed, and he can crawl in and fall right to sleep... and I even enjoy the preheat.. we can have the temps different for each side (he sets for 7 I opt for a 2).
Easy to wash - and then I hang to dry over the stair railing. Dries rather quickly.
I keep a sheet between the blanket and ourselves.. -- and really do not need anything else on the bed, but we do have a light quilt overtop, just for a little extra weight (we like heavy blankets).
We do not feel any "wires". and the cords for the blanket tuck in nicely along the bed frame rails.
The controls are easy to use, even when half a sleep. And it auto-turns off, would be easy to forget to do.
