This blanket felt too small to really wrap up in.
This super plush blanket has a cozy heft with a luxurious and high-quality feel.
Its made with several layers of material, including a micro-plush velour face fabric with good heat distribution.
This blanket has a wide temperature range that maxes out at 108 degrees Fahrenheit with an automatic safety shutoff.
The instructions suggest preheating the blanket while its folded, which we loved for the immediate warmth.
Plus, it only took five minutes to preheat, so it felt fast and convenient.

Even with an extension cord, this isnt the most convenient option for use on the go.
This blanket held up nicely after being washed, and we didnt notice any durability issues or pilling.
