We're concerned about the fabric not "Breathing" in borderline weather - i.e. it makes you too hot because it doesn't breathe. Any comments?

This blanket has three layers-the two outer layers are extremely thin, and the inner layer sounds like a plastic tarp or bubble wrap. I cannot imagine it breathes at all.

It's not especially breathable...but very comfy and warm, which is great in colder weather.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

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...

I have not had any problems in the hot weather with this seat. The fabric is great, and my 18 month old doesn't get very sweaty in it at all. It's sort of a mesh-type fabric, and very cushy.

There's a lot of fabric and it hangs nicely. I previously posted a reviewer of the danger of a child get wrapped up in it and the fear of not being able to breath. We removed it and threw it in the garbage for this reason.

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with getting too hot while wearing it but it's also been on the colder side where I live. But I have worn it inside my house which we usually keep about 70-72degrees and I didn't get hot. Hope that helped

It breathes very well - it's a durable fabric that doesn't seem to absorb heat

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I was on the road when I answered this earlier and said "no". I got home and put water on the fabric and it beaded up and rolled off. I have only worn it as an undergarment but would not want to get it wet while it is warming you so my answer no is I am not sure.

I agree with the other answer. Airflow would be constricted. It's not super powerful heat. Also, I don't think that sounds very safe. It would be too easy for a fabric to fall down on it and although it is a safe heater it could still catch fire. It's meant to sit against a wall

No this is more of a quilt. it is not too hot. No stickiness of any kind. Not really microfiber at all. Could be thin on a really cool night of 25 or below. I Ann a hot sleeper and I have no issues.

I only wore mine once cuz it wasn't warm enough. maybe you should contact the seller.

You will not feel a direct breeze through this material, but you will not feel like it is suffocating either. You can slightly see through the material. We use it on the top of our chicken run to block the hot southern sun and we also use it on top and behind our yard swing. It gives us breathable shade.

I live in TExas; we have air conditioning and have no problem with this getting too hot; but I should think it would depend on where you live, how hot it gets, etc., but I think it should be at least as comfortable as down, not as itchy as down can be, and no feathers popping out which sometimes happens with down. If your SHEETS are cool fabric, the bed should be comfortable.

Has the question of breathability of the bottom non-mesh portion been answered? That is the first thing I said when we set ours up.

yes, the material don't breath. It is hot to sit in expecially in summer. I think the big disadvantage is the belt is too short to match the body of my 19 months old son.

I didn't think about that with the fabric, as my child is a sweaty beast under normal circumstances. She does get very sweaty in this seat after not very long.

I would say that it depends directly on ambient temperature. Here it doesn't get really hot, so for me, it's not an issue. Great product, really comfy, especially when you want to relax.

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.
