What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

It is just the thick plastic material. I put in a covered foam pad and folded blanket on the bottom for cushioning. My dog sleeps inside the house at night. This doghouse would be cold outside at night. Perhaps an igloo doghouse is insulated(?) I've never had that kind. I hope this helps.

It's a fiber fill (like polyfil that goes into stuffed animals but better) and it mimics the abilities of the feathers. Some people may be allergic so the alternative is nice. I am not allergic but I love this blanket. It has been great to keep me warm enough without keeping my husband overheated. Great purchase, great price.

It's a winter weight blanket. Since it's wool it's heavier than the cotton or microfiber ones by far. I had a Hudson Bay as a child and bought this one because I missed having a nice winter blanket.

Insta-snow is a fine granular polymer. It is similar to what they use in disposable diapers. The instruction pamphlet explains what to do and not to do with it.

The feral I kept warm would not use a blanket- straw worked right away. Under the straw you can add the heated blanket or I used the reflective blanket material that keeps body heat in. I put the reflective material under the straw. I made the straw thick around the sides and the bottom a bit less. I kept extra straw on hand for rainy or snowy days to replace the wet. She loved it while she was with me.

Bought this around Christmas, I'm not sure of the specifics of the material. It is very soft material, fluffy on one side. It feel just like the blanket that I purchased for $50+ at Restoration Hardware. My dogs love it!

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question.Pamela B. Coada

It would appear to be there is no difference. Both look like the one I own. The blanket is of the best grade and quality I have ever seen, well worth the cost. It is 100% Wool, and 100% Quality. Will Keep you warm better than any blanket you own. Thanks.

Yes...and it does have lint! My husband loves it. I'm ambivalent. doesn't do much for me temperature wise that I thought it would do, but still a nice blanket.

This blanket does not shed. I'm not sure what the difference in material is. This one is got some nap to the fur but not like the faux fur blankets out there. It's not that long nor does it shed. Thanks.

I really don't know. However, I did not like this blanket at all. It is very heavy and won't stay on the bed at night. It slides off on one side and ends up half on the floor. I couldnot return it because it was past 30 days when I tried to. Suggest you choose another blanket like I did. I,m just giving it away, got another from Peney,s that we love.

the outside is a fiber amalgumate very soft and holds heat very well. i would recommend this sleeping blanket for INDOOR USE ONLY! I would not recommend using this blanket on a camping trip. it will not keep out moisture and be very hard to dry out if it got even lightly damp. for indoor use it would be very durable, but for a camping trip it would tear under an adequate amount of stress. if you're going out door camping. i would recommed any of the super polyester acrylic combinations as they keep out water and are difficult to cut with a knife.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

I recommend these blankets but since you live in hot weather you should look into their organic Bamboo line of blankets. I just bought three of them and they are super soft and the fabric is much more breathable than the original, which made it ideal for the warm weather that we had a month ago.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I've had the flu. This blanket is made of 90 % Acrylic and 10 % Polyester Fibers. It was made in Mexico. Wash in cold water, I put it in our dryer on the lowest heat, air dry setting and it's fine. Here is a website that maybe helpful. www ramatexinternalional.com. It is very warm but does "shed" leaving some fuzzies on black clothing. This would work well on a twin bed. We use it over the back of our couch. It is too small for a full-size or larger bed. Hope this helps you out!!!!
