This is a wonderful blanket.  It is so warm and cozy!  Both sides of the fabric are really soft.  The controls are labeled well and easy to use at night because they're illuminated.  The cords for the controls are extra long so they tuck down at the foot of the mattress and are hidden under the bed as they make their way up to the nightstands.  It's a great design.  It takes a while to heat up (about 5 minutes) but once that's taken care of you'll be in heaven.
