Well first let me say that we bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend. Two~the reason we purchased this blanket is bc it is like our third or fourth one we have purchased now...because this Beautyrest electric blanket is the best one we have ever owned. From the first tucking in to the many layers of comfort of the material to the many levels of warm absolutely obliterate any chill temps that winter will throw your way. I have had other brands..but the Beautyrest is far and above the most comfortable, longevity of wear and they way it hold up under washing is just hands up️five star level of comfort!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for buying for yourself and giving as a gift to those you love! You will be glad you bought this one.
