The directions state that it will NOT feel hot to the touch - it warms the bed and you have to get in the bed to appreciate the heat. I LOVE this blanket, as it does not overheat, I never become uncomfortably hot and the softness is lovely.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

I've had mine for about 8 years, and that was a replacement for a warranty issue for the one I had years prior. The trick is this!!! First, put it above your flat sheet so you don't soil it from your body... means rare need for washing. Second, place a duvet ABOVE it, then your blanket if you use one as well. I've been doing this, and it gets HOT! Keeps the heat down. I preheat the bed in advance when I remember, and another trick is when I turn it on to preheat, I spread my pillows over the top of the duvet where I sleep, or want extra heat (feet)... big bonus.

Did you try turning it up on the dial? I don't know, mine gets really really hot on like 5. Maybe yours is broken?

I did have one blanket that after about 6 or 7 months of use a couple zones went out but the manufacturer sent me a new one and to date have had no problems. Plug the blanket into control unit make sure all three are secure then plug unit into wall outlet turn power on in the back of control unit press power button on the front of control unit adjust time and temperatures make sure to press the button beside the temperature and that there is a little red dot indicating that each zone is on then press start button on the front of the unit. Hope this works for you cause these sauna beds are assume! If not try contacting the seller or manufacturer. Also, always make sure to unplug the control unit from the wall outlet after use.

It doesn't get hot. Mine doesn't charge very well though. The cord needs to be in a certain position once plugged in or it won't charge. Hope that helps.

It does get pretty hot. My 4 year old burnt his hand on it. Also, I wouldn't waste my money on it. We had it for a month and it quit working. This heater is junk.

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine.Morrison

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

Yes i believe it needs to warm up slightly in order to work but I've never felt mine get hot. That being said, you need to make sure you done let it run dry. I always watch mine to make sure of that. Hope this helps!

it generates enough heat that it has to be turned down or it will make you too hot! My wife has never had a blanket that has heated as well as this one. This is about our 5th electric blanket and it is the only one that she has had to turn down.

Mine seems to keep warm forever. After the whole 24 hours it didn't shut off. Maybe this is defective?? (though I am happy it does not shut off.)

I don't find that it get's overly hot at all. Overall, it's a great beach blanket and the size is great for my family of 4!

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

It takes forever and does not get fully warm. Do not waste your money on this blanket.

Place the silver towards the hot side. In my engine you had to tape the blanket down or use some type of heat resistant fastener.

It doesn't get way hot but gets nice and warm. I turn mine on an hour before bed. My sheets are warm and the blankets on top of the sheets are also warm. I have back issues and I have found it to be therapeutic.
