There’s nothing like snuggling up in a cozy blanket while reading or watching tv, anytime but especially in the winter. I’m always cold and this blanket is so soft and comfy. It’s very luxurious. Looks pretty on the couch, the ribbed texture adds a stylish feel, the inner fleece is the softest. It is white so hoping that since it is machine washable can keep it clean because I will be using it daily. Other electric blankets quit working when washing so hopefully this one keeps working. The extra long cord is perfect to reach the controller without having to get up. I love the long timer. I will probably only use the hottest option but is nice to be able to use on lower settings as well.
