I purchased a queen sized blanket so that my husband can turn the heat on his half of the blanket way up while I have my half set on low or off.  The blanket has a preheat setting, which my husband greatly appreciates (personally, I like the feel of cool sheets when I first get into bed).  The blanket is super soft and snuggly and stays put; no sliding off the bed when you turn in your sleep.  It’s also very pretty...something I don’t usually associate with electric blankets...even after being washed.   I like the sense of security from having an automatic shut off feature, too.  I’m very pleased with this blanket.  Worth the money.
