I am the type of gal that is always cold, and with the Chicago winter I am even colder. Even in a house with a heater. This blanket keeps me so nice and warm. I sleep with it on my bed, and have it on my lap when I play video games. When i took it out of the package, the static was out of this world, but a few minutes in the dryer with two dryer sheets took car of that. Its a nice big size.
