This is a soft and fluffy heated throw, and plenty large enough to cover your legs and feet.  It does not overheat - even at the highest setting.  The only thing I would change is the little fuzz balls that attach to your clothing (depending on what you wear), and that the heat turns itself off after a period of time.  That is really not a big deal as you can simply turn it back on .... unless you fall asleep (which I do).... :-)
