The Heated Throw Blanket is very soft and comfy. I absolutely just love cuddling up on the couch with it in front of the fireplace. But, on a more colder day it is also great to help keep you warm with the heat feature. You don't really notice the cord or the remote for the blanket. I love that there are 3 options so even on the chilliest day I can stay nice, warm and toasty. I love that there is also an auto-shut off, in case you forget to turn it off there's that safety feature as well.
