What are the differences between this &amp; the SPACE (brand) blanket? Image &amp; description of this item looks &amp; sounds like the same thing. Although the SPACE blanket sells for much less.

These blankets go by many names but they are often refered to as "Casualty Blankets" ... They are similar, in weight, to a medium-thickness of poly-tarp and they have brass grommets (reinforced tie-holes) in each of the 4 corners. They are metalized (foil clad) on one side and reflect heat from a human body or from a camp-fire (onto a thermal "victim") ... These blankets are fairly durable and are frequently hung in diamond or lean-to configuration to shed rain (and dew) and to block wind and reflect camp-fire heat onto the single occupant, to thwart hypothermia at moderate temperatures. They are not magical and they do not do much good below about 55 degrees Fahrenheit and below 48'F they are "fairly useless" BUT they are better than nothing and, in conjunction with a small fire, they can save your life ... In short, they can add a few degrees of comfort and help, with very little pack-weight penalty ... They also make a good ground-cloth, especially under a sleep matt, to prevent thermal loss into the ground. They are reusable and, if cared for, they can be rolled up inside your sleep pad and will last for an entire season, of even longer. Rothco is only one source for these and most all of them are about the same. SOME are NOT "mil-spec" so I would be looking for USGI MIL-SPEC in the description.

Sorry, Diane - I have no idea. I only purchased the blanket as a baby shower gift. I can tell you it was soft and very beautiful! The mom-to-be loved it.

Yes, every knight we reposition the blanket on the bed with equal drop on ech side. The next morning one side is on the floor and the other is barley on the bed. This happens even when my husband is out of town. It is a mystery to me. Any answers to this roving blanket is welcome.

Just one side is plush! Just a slight bit lighter on one side. If you are looking for that thick plush look like the Korean blankets...this is not! I thought it would be by looking at the pic. My son loves it anyway. It works for him.

I don't. I have lots of these blankets - they feel so nice when they're new. But they are garbage. They all ball and put off LOTS of lint. I have a couple of white ones that drive me crazy! I think after lots and lots of washes it gets better - but I dont' use the white ones all of the time, so they may never get to the point where they don't give off lint. I keep buying them thinking maybe they'll perfect the technique - but I just think this particular kind of blanket is always going to be linty - which is too bad - because as I said, they are super soft and nice when they are new.

That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry. The MOST DENSE one I found in my pre-purchase shopping was for sale at Macy's, and the incorporated cover is a blue weave, like the one section in the photo of THIS product. It was available in either 1.5 or 3 inch versions, the thicker one was offered for close to $600, and on a "one day sale" you could get it for 50% off, but even THAT was more than I wanted to spend, and too close to the price of a new mattress for me! But if you want the DENSE-EST gel, check that one out...it may even be on Macy's website, not sure. Good Luck! That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, not real sure which "Space Blanket" you are referring to but this blanket is very durable and heavy duty and reusable, a lot of the "Space blankets" are just heavy mylar and don't have grommets in the corners to tie them down. I am very satisified with this one, also Adventure Medical Kits, AMK makes some very good products. Hope this helps

The trough on the $34.99 one is a little bigger, as is the actual board itself. However, (in my opinion), the differences between the two products are extremely tiny/insignificant. Plus, I don't think the $34 one comes in other colors besides black.I have bought so many any of these; for my 5-year old as well as for multiple gifts. The cheaper one is definitely the way to go!!

Hi! No matching twin blanket. And not sure of the name of this one. Sorry. But my daughter absolutely loves it! And you cant beat the softness to it.

TBH there is not that much of a difference. This one has grommets on four corners, so it would be easier to string up. It is also in my opinion far more durable than your standard Mylar emergency blanket.

I have both colors. They are the same. When I purchased the green one, it was cheaper than the blue. The green is more see through and I thought that may be a negitive to some shoppers and that is why it was cheaper. I would just shop by price.

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.

Actually, I''m not sure why it says it has a hood?! I have two of these blankets and it doesn't have a hood. It's a "regular" blanket. Although, I don't have the ABC design, but I'm inclined to say that probably also doesn't have a hood. But I'm not 100% sure... I hope that helps in some way! =)

I returned the blanket because the color was not at all as shown in the photograph and it was also extremely heavy (and, therefore, uncomfortable to sleep under). But, I'd assume the answer to your question would be found in the booklet that came with the blanket. If not, call Sunbeam.

My guess is because they wanted to call it something that would make it come up when people search for "boys bedding". I don't think anyone is implying that only boys like space. I think a girl could definitely be into this bedding.

They came wrapped in a plastic bag with a snap closure. I usually purchase the 4 packs so I can take one out and give it away to new mommies and then I'm still able to give other gifts instead of just blankets. Not sure what you're asking about as far as being different from classic types? Do you mean classic flannel receiving blankets? If so, these are much larger and better for swaddling. Also, as the name implies, these are made from muslin, a much lighter fabric.

I love mine. One of the shams didn't get sewn in a corner and who i ordered from, Designer Living (62.99), offered me 3 options to choose from, all in my favor, in my opinion. As to the colors, i guess they are more muted than the picture but my room is darker, there's is lighter. But the picture to me mostly gives you an idea of what it is. The purple and the red stand out. There's also an orange red color. Has two blue colors one a teal blue the other a lighter, sky blue or just one less intensity than the teal, even a royal blue. There is a olive color and a mustardy lime color that is probably the most color used but more as a background, the purple, red, and teal stand out when i look at it. It's so comfortable and soft, and i've washed it quite often now, had it since sept 2013, and it still is beautiful. This winter, i had flannel sheets and this. Never put on a heavy blanket. Live in Kansas. We keep the house at 68 during day and 62 at night. In summer we do 76 -78 in the house so not sure how this will fit in at that time. It's not heavy, lightweight and cozy, so my example of winter use may not fit yours if you like heavier and possibly warmer.
