Would the blanket's temperature regulating benefits still work inside a duvet cover?

I don't see why not. I have a sheet between me and the blanket and it works, so in a duvet cover is the same principal.

In Utah its below 30 every night now and we sleep with the window open a crack. I have been warm enough (although I like to sleep a little cool) and I don't even have a duvet cover on it. It is warmer then you would expect for the weight and thickness.

first shipment had defective control unit but was replaced by manufacturer without question. since then, no problems. so long as you understand that this blanket will not provide the scorching heat of an ac only electric blanket, well worth the price imho.

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

It's only a duvet cover - you put a blanket inside of it. It would be about as warm as two sheets.

It's hard to say if it will be too hot for you because I don't know what the ambient temperature you want it for. It definitely is lighter and cooler than my lightweight genuine down duvet.

I believe so, it says in the manual to what degrees it actually works within and I believe unless it's under 20 degrees Fahrenheit it should be fine. Might want to double check online to find the actual manual to confirm however.

It should, mylar blankets are made to conserve your body heat. Can't tell you much, I use the mylar sheets for reflecting lights on my indoor garden, not to keep me warm..... good luck

The Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector does not indicate that an electric heating pad couldn't be used in conjunction. Therefore, I think it is safe if you wanted to use an electric blanket w/ it.

Probably not enough to make a difference. It is as thick as a regular mattress cover. That said, I really like the way it heats the bed!

I suppose it would depend on your climate. I live in the Midwest where spring and fall can be chilly so I use my fleece blanket as a throw and put it on my bed at night. It is amazingly comfy!! In winter, during really chilly times, I use it more as a throw when watching TV or napping -- very snug, cozy and comfortable because it is so light. Using it under your comforter would, I think, make your bed warmer -- if that is what you'd like.

If you are planning to use the blanket outside, I would guess that only wrapping the animal in the blanket would reflect body heat of any consequence; not just having the cat sleeping on it. Trying to wrap a cat and have it stay inside the blanket would be a challenge. Winds sweeping over the sleeping cat would be an issue. Seriously low temperatures' influence would also be a factor depending on the degrees. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to discuss specific details of your questions of this nature. It is heart warming to see you trying to protect your furry friends! If possible,I would bringing the cat inside to be sheltered.

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

According to the company who makes it: NO. That was a disappointing answer for me too since I'd definitely prefer to wash a duvet than the blanket itself. Still, we LOVE this thing and it was definitely worth the money since I live in the cold Midwest and in a drafty loft.

No, it doesn't. I ended up spacing safety pins all around the edges of the duvet with the comforter inside, wasn't pretty but it definitely worked. I was even thinking of putting some velcro pieces inside the duvet and on the edges of the comforter. I may do that yet.

This Duvet has only buttons on the sides to hold the unit inside the cover. If you think the unit will shift significantly inside the cover, then I take very small safety pins (like 1/2" long) and do pins in the 4 corners to hold down. I never needed to do this on current Duvet.....I have had to do it on old cover that had no buttons. The basic answer is that it depends on the "slip factor" of the two cloth materials. When the two materials slide easily, then you would like to pin down. With low slip factor, you shake the comforter once a week and it is all back to normal. tjcooper
