What is the R rating of this blanket? Seems no one can answer.

~6 I dropped $10 per month off of my nat gas bill after installation. Stuff looks like a professional job also.

Not sure why this is rated "R"?? There were only a few curse words and some partial indigenous nudity on the install. Nothing crazy, just National Geographic type stuff. Don't worry , if your kids are mature they can handle it. Good luck.

Teri: Since I gave the blanket as a gift to my son and daughter-in-law when they got married, I cannot check its thickness. However, the blanket is definitely heavy, which is both a plus and a negative for those who don't want something heavy on top of them while they sleep. If I had to guess, I would say that the blanket is about 3/8" thick, and it is very warm and durable, without frizzy particles filling the air around it. I got it for them as it will be very warm when they want it, and will last them the rest of their lives. Not relative to your question, but still potentially important, is that the blanket cost a couple of hundred dollars less from Amazon than it did from the Hudson Bay Blanket people. I don't know of any other source for wool blankets of this calibre, and wish I had one myself. Hope this helps. B.

I think it would be fine as long as you follow the instructions and keep the blanket flat. Start with level 3 and see if you need more. My best results have been on level 2 so far. Still loving it.

It's a winter weight blanket. Since it's wool it's heavier than the cotton or microfiber ones by far. I had a Hudson Bay as a child and bought this one because I missed having a nice winter blanket.

I don't know if it specifically has an R value rating. It is to be used with insulation, not as a replacement of insulation.

The comforter is a thick summer comforter. However there are many different blankets. A blanket is subjective. You may be able to use it in the winter in some states but if you live in cold weather ie below 50 degrees than I say it's not a winter blanket. So I can't answer your question so easily. Some blankets are very thick and are rated for the cold winter some people tolerate cold and or heat at various levels. My suggestion is to purchase one and return it if it doesn't work out for you. I hope this helps but there are too many variables to your question.

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

I don't know about rating, but don't buy this. Something they don't tell you in description is you have to flip it every 2 weeks, we don't have time or energy to flip a Matress every 2 weeks. Not happy this was not explained with the description of the Matress.

I couldn't find a tag on the blanket, but it appears to be cotton. It's not real thick as wool would probably be, but it's not real thin either. You might ask the people who ship the item.

I now know I was wrong about my comment. It is not cotton but microfiber. However, the rating is supposed to be the equivalent of cotton 1800 thread count.

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question.Pamela B. Coada

Dave this is the response I received from Mambe. I was simply impressed to get an answer. Hope this helps in your decision making process.Thank you for your note. Specific temp ratings are tricky to assign due to the many factors involved when using a blanket outdoors. However, the Super Extreme is often used down into the teens or even lower with great results.

I honestly don't recall the package specifying the R value. I have answered couple of questions before in re:various aspects of this product and basically I am very satisfied with it My heater sits RIGHT NEXT to my basement door - and I have an old house so that area is far from being 'warm and cozy'. I am not going to tell you whether or not we "saved money" by using this blanket - with the electricity rates going up and down and what-have-you...its not worth my time figuring out that difference. What I CAN tell you is that the difference in the temperature of the hot water was IMMEDIATELY noticed by both my wife and I in the shower and the kitchen (reasonably 2 places the hot water gets used the most). It went up a good couple of degrees, so this blanket must be doing something right hope that helps

Its been a while since I bought this, but 30lbs seems like a lot. The blanket doesn't weigh much, so shouldn't be near 30lbs.

Not sure what is the question, but on the blanket I bought is a king size its big no number written. So I don't know what to tell you Sandra. I love the blanket its very soft.

I haven't a clue and don't have the packaging anymore. It is a great blanket that has 20 settings. Setting 20 runs me out of the bed. I'm cold blooded and have the blanket at about 14 on cold nights. Hope this helps.

I haven't opened the packet and the printed information only states 54"X84", non-stretch polyester silvery reflecting material-waterproof. I would guess that it is 1-2 mils, fairly thin as the folded blanket is 4.5"X3"X1/4"thick.
