I just want a blanket to lay between my microplush blanket & bedspread to warm my bed before climbing into it. Will it live up to that purpose?

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

It does not generate heat, so it won't warm things up. From my experience it does a good job preventing heat transfer from one side to the other, so if your bed gets cold from the cold air and you climb beneath it, it would feel warm. If your bed gets cold from coldness that travels from your floor, and you lay on top of it, it would feel warmer than before too.

The better buy is the "J & M Home Fashions 108-Inch by 90-Inch Fleece Blanket" sold here on Amazon for $19.99 w/free shipping.

The blanket looks fine. It's also probably big enough. But it is quite thick. Looks much more like a comforter.

Actually, we love our blankets but have found that we only use them to preheat the bed when the room is cold. They're toasty enough as-is, and have a very luxurious feel to them, too.

I must agree with Jade, in thinking it's too lightweight to be used at a blanket. Maybe two stacked would work but...

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

I think so. Mine is outside, with a foam/ vinyl cover on top. With the blanket on, the heater comes on less. I put the bubble side down and trimmed it a bit larger than the top and it works well. I read on line that it is more energy efficient to keep it warm all the time vs turning it down to cool when not in use and then heating it all up again before using . I find this to be true also. I am not an expert.

I'm a cold person, so I also have an electric blanket. When I lived in Colorado I had an electric mattress cover and a serious down comforter. However, I found I could keep the electric blanket temperature lower with this blanket. For me, it was more effective and lighter than the non-down alternative comforter I replaced.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

Yes, I have it between 2 blankets and it has held up well over the year. It did come with some loose threads but I just trimmed them back and I have not had any other issues with the blanket.

The blanket does not get hot!!! only warm I was a little disappointed in that fact myself on those really cold nights..But its better than a cold bed..I have had blankets in the past that have gotten warmer.

I have tried a blanket, and I found that you can maneuver it diagonally to fit into two sections out of the four. My queen top sheet works well folded in half, and the bottom sheet fits fine. I don't stretch out the elastic, so it can stay as one layer.

No, the blanket easily stays in place. The King Size blanket that I have is a very good fit for my bed.

It doesnt come with a down blanket, but after you buy one and put it in the duvet, you wont be able to see the bedspread. If not you may be able to see the color of the bedspread.

It should, mylar blankets are made to conserve your body heat. Can't tell you much, I use the mylar sheets for reflecting lights on my indoor garden, not to keep me warm..... good luck

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

I ordered a king for my queen mattress and am very happy with the way it fits. I am glad that I bought a king. It is a high quality bedspread and light blanket for use under a comforter in warmer months. We are very happy with our purchase.
