Doesn't breathe, not wide enough and ALMOST STARTED A FIRE!
We've been sleeping under this blanket for a few months now. Inside the very soft, comfy blanket is a sheet of what feels like pastic that contains the warming wire grid. Every single time I turn on the blanket, even at a very low setting, I wake up drenched in sweat and I think it's because the blanket doesn't breathe since you are essentially covered in plastic. Also, it's not wide enough. It hangs over the sides of the bed a little when there's no one in it. But when both my husband and I are in bed, the blanket barely covers us and we're not big people. When you view the listing, you'll see pictures of an off-white blanket and/or a red blanket that show the blanket hanging way over the sides. Our blanket does not hang over anywhere near that much. If you have to get it, get a King for a Queen bed. It's too late for us to return it, but I can't recommend it at all. I'm thinking about opening up one end of the blanket so I can examine the warming grid. If there is a full sheet of plastic in between the top and bottom blankets pieces, it's no wonder people are sweating. If I do that, I'll edit the review to reflect my findings. UPDATE: May 7, 2013 Here's the icing on the cake: Last week the wires came out around one of the sockets at the bottom of the blanket. Upon examining it, we noticed that it had been smoking at some point--there were burn marks on the cord. We could have had a fire in our bed!!! Pretty scary. GET A DIFFERENT BLANKET (<:
