We're concerned about the fabric not "Breathing" in borderline weather - i.e. it makes you too hot because it doesn't breathe. Any comments?

This blanket has three layers-the two outer layers are extremely thin, and the inner layer sounds like a plastic tarp or bubble wrap. I cannot imagine it breathes at all.

It's not especially breathable...but very comfy and warm, which is great in colder weather.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

We have had no issue with the material being too warm and we live in Florida. It gets quite hot here and as long as we have had the hammock we have never felt that it was too hot. With our weather we always bring the hammock in before we go to sleep. It still looks and feels brand new.

I would say that it depends directly on ambient temperature. Here it doesn't get really hot, so for me, it's not an issue. Great product, really comfy, especially when you want to relax.

It is not the mesh breathable fabric. It's made of the minky blanket material with a foam type filler.

We haven't seen an issue with it being hot or too warm. But, remember, it's still rather chilly here in Wisconsin at night, and we find it very comfortable! I will say, seeing as I run "warm" and appreciate cooler temps, I haven't had any problem feeling too warm at night! Maybe a bit early for us to judge that until the evenings warm up.....but so far, very comfortable!

Not going to lie- it can get pretty hot. It's stretchy, soft, but thick fabric. But I think that's what makes it such great quality. I don't think it makes me more hot than other carriers (I own four), but having a warm body tied to you can be hot with any carrier. I honestly don't think a different fabric would change that, but it may change the quality of the product.

It's a fleece like material so it may be hot. I've used it in the snow, it didn't become soaked, but it certainly didn't repeal it either.

I have the organic and it isn't hot at all. I have seen the airflow and it is mostly a mesh material. If you live in a hot climate, that might work better for you. I am in CO and we have had a hot summer and the organic has been fine for us.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

No it does not make you feel hot at all or make you feel like your sleeping on plastic. I do know what you mean though, but this fabric is light weight and yet very sturdy and doesn't seem like it is made cheep at all and has held up extremely well and no crinkling noises either. I have no regrets buying it and would buy it again. I feel this a purchase you will be as happy with as I have been.

That hasn't been an issue for me. The fabric seems fairly breathable and absorptive, but I guess if you are prone to sweating it could exacerbate that by trapping heat. I think that would be an issue with any cervical collar, however, and I don't see any reason why this one would be especially sweat-inducing.

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

I agree with the other answer. Airflow would be constricted. It's not super powerful heat. Also, I don't think that sounds very safe. It would be too easy for a fabric to fall down on it and although it is a safe heater it could still catch fire. It's meant to sit against a wall

I think it may be too warm for you...depending upon the coolness of your bedroom. If we have the windows open on 50 degree nights, this comforter is not too warm! Hope this helps.

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)

I was on the road when I answered this earlier and said "no". I got home and put water on the fabric and it beaded up and rolled off. I have only worn it as an undergarment but would not want to get it wet while it is warming you so my answer no is I am not sure.
