I did my research before I settled on this blanket. It turned out to be every bit as gorgeous and warm as I've hoped. The heat is exactly right. You can crank it up to pre-warm your bed and then dial it back to the perfect temperature to keep you warm all night long. The cords on the controllers are long enough to span our king side bed and they are nice and stable on the nightstand. So happy with it! I hope it lasts longer than my Sunbeam blanket did! Also, perfect purchasing and delivery experience from Wayfair!
