Cozy throw that works well. This is nicer than I thought as the under side of sherpa adds a lot of coziness to the blanket. It is relatively thin for a heated throw would make for the right amount of warmth perhaps around fall. I tend to want to be very warm while using my heated blankets, this one has levels 1-5 which is totally fine but during winter I tend to like an even warmer option. Overall is a very nice blanket that works well, is easy to use and feels great.
