This blanket is just what the doctor ordered. Our bedroom is much colder than the rest of the house so we need the extra warmth that this blanket provides in the winter. It's a "soft" heat - more like a warming blanket than a heated blanket, but the blanket plus our heavy flannel sheets keep us comfortable and warm. The duel temperature controllers keep each side just the way we each like it. We have a new, deep queen size mattress & the queen size blanket didn't seem to provide quite enough coverage for both of us so I returned it for the king size. It's a bit big but we both like it better & it looks better on the bed since you don't put a cover on top of a heated blanket. Highly recommend!!
