I don't have heat in my apartment so I ordered this blanket to help warm me up for bedtime. I previously borrowed my mom's old heating blanket but it didn't warm up enough or quickly at that. This blanket is a blessing! I only have to turn it to half of what I had to with the old one and it heats up very quickly. It allows my toesies to be nice and cozy so I can fall right asleep after work. Best purchase I've made all year!
