I have a husband who is always cold, and I am always hot. So I got this blanket, hoping it would keep him nice and toasty so I can have my fan. This blanket fits the bill! It is nice and toasty, whether it is on or off. It has a warming cycle, which is used every night. The best part of it for me is that it is impossibly soft. It is such a treat to pull it over me every night. A wonderful, overall blanket.
