Thermee Micro Flannel Electric Heated Blanket with Sherpa Back - King Size, Slate Grey - Ultra Soft Warming Blanket for Bed, Couch & Winter Nights

I’ve tried a few different electric blankets before this one and none of them compare to this baby.I didn’t have the highest expectations for material but like the flannel side as much as the Sherpa. Fantastic combination since: other Sherpa or micro-fiber e-blankets can feel too clingy or claustrophobic when you’ve reached optimal toastiness. The flannel side makes the structure more manageable so I don’t feel like I’m fighting the blanket. I’m also not a huge flannel fan since I feel like flannel is a trap for hangnails and fiber pilling, however, that’s not been my experience with this and I love the smooth, clean appearance. I’ve only washed it once so far but it did great and I just lay it over a couple of chairs in the sunniest part of my house to dry.I prefer a large blanket to cocoon with but this one also folds up nicely to wrap around my arms or rest my feet on when I’m at my computer. The heat/time settings have a good range and the cord is a good length while holding shape well enough that it’s easy to plug in to anywhere I wanna chill but doesn’t get tangled in the rest of the blanket. The settings controller is larger than any other electric blanket I’ve had but it stays where you place it instead of getting lost in the blanket and it’s not like it’s heavy. It’s also great unplugged.My new cat buddy also loves this blanket. She’s been super picky about beds but if I’ve left the blanket folded up somewhere, I always find her cuddled up on it. It’s actually great since she has a bit of separation anxiety and would always be in my lap or on my shoulders if I let her but I can’t get anything done when she clings like that. The blanket seems to make her feel a lot more secure when we are separated so I can have a break! And since she has some neurological issues that have prevented her from getting spayed yet, it made her second heat a much calmer experience for both of us (she’s a little over a year old and has only had these 2 so far)! And of course we both cuddle with it together.I don’t think it’s the most lightweight blanket? but it’s certainly not heavy. Like I said, the 2 fabric structure makes it very manageable and I can still cocoon when I’m in the mood. I could go to sleep at night on the floor with just this blanket. I have poor body temperature control from poor circulation and taking fluoxetine but I’ve not really woken up in the full-body sweat I would under my bed’s duvet and it goes all around the house with me. 10/10 ?see aboveI got a king size, which comes with two controllers that warm each side separately, they also have their own plugs so if you dont have a lightbar you'll be tieing up an entire outlet with this blanket.Its a lot of cord, definately some cable management is needed.FunctionalityThe heating of this blanket seems pretty even I havent had any issues with it coming on, even after I washed it.It only takes a minute or two to get toasty, super nice.Even when its not on it keeps my bed nice and warm, but my flannel sheets might help with that.One thing to keep in mind is if its bunched up the bunched or folded parts can get a little more toasty than the rest, but it hasnt been worrying in my 2 ish months of ownership.ControllersThe controllers are easy to use, I havent really figured out how to 'keep on'. The directions are pretty vague. But a couple hours before I fall asleep works fine for me.WashingI have washed the blanket (my cat hurled on it super fun). It was easy to wash. Took forever to dry. I turned it around and put it back in about 4 times at 40 minute intervals at the recommanded temperature.Its definately best if you have a big dryer for the king size for the air flow.Fabric and sizeIts super soft, one smooth soft side and one fluffy sherpa-like soft side. I personally savor the smoother side, just personal preference.I have a king size bed and the blanket covers it fully with no issue. I kind of wish it was a couple inches bigger for more of an overhang but its not a huge problem for me, it might be if I had a partner.The thickness is nice and it has a good weight to it, definately covers the weighted blanket category.I would recommend this product! It's fantastic!I’ve literally had this blanket for about two weeks and it stopped working. Which is extremely disappointing because I paid almost $200 for it. And the remote just doesn’t turn on or doesn’t do anything. It just does what is shown above! I’m extremely disappointed.I absolutely love this blanket. It heats up quickly, no need to turn it on 15 minutes before going to bed. The fleece is thick and yummy and so soft. I think that the fleece is what makes the whole blanket heat evenly warm. The top fabric is lovely and very soft, both it texture and color. My husband mistakenly got in bed one night between the fleece and the top sheet. He wanted to stay there because it was so cozy. My only objection is the controller. It doesn’t stay lit once you select the temperature and time. In order for you to see it during the night you need to push one of the buttons. Once you are familiar with the placement of the on/off, temp and time buttons, it isn’t a huge deal. The controller needs to be reset each night. It doesn’ have a memory for the previous setting. This is the nicest electric blanket I have ever had, and we have had many. If and when I ever need another electric blanket, I will definitely reorder one of these.Love the softness and feel of this blanket. I dislike couple of things. I paid $177 for a cal-king and my girlfriend bought the same size on Amazon too and only paid $99. I wish the control stayed lit up so in the middle of the night you didn’t have to turn on a light to adjust the temperature. Overall, I still love the blanket.This blanket is worth it. I’m glad I bought it! The Sherpa back is thick and the blanket is nicely made. The dual controls are a nice featureProduct is great but I find the box stays warm at all times even when the blanket is off and that is a little scary as to maybe a fire from the control box.Second purchase and second fail. First time only half the blanket heated up. Second time the timer didn’t work. We’re done!!!!Nice and warm!!Excellent produit, réchauffe très bien! Délai de livraison inacceptable (tout prêt de 5 mois).
