What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

It is just the thick plastic material. I put in a covered foam pad and folded blanket on the bottom for cushioning. My dog sleeps inside the house at night. This doghouse would be cold outside at night. Perhaps an igloo doghouse is insulated(?) I've never had that kind. I hope this helps.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

The feral I kept warm would not use a blanket- straw worked right away. Under the straw you can add the heated blanket or I used the reflective blanket material that keeps body heat in. I put the reflective material under the straw. I made the straw thick around the sides and the bottom a bit less. I kept extra straw on hand for rainy or snowy days to replace the wet. She loved it while she was with me.

The rip-stop nylon is slick. I believe you can get this same bag in a canvas option if you would prefer that. For me, the canvas bag was going to be too heavy...as the nylon bag is already 15lbs. We went camping this winter and this bag kept us warm and cozy well below 0 degrees. Other than the fact that it is MASSIVE and takes up a lot of space in the car, this winter bag is wonderful with a cuddle buddy.

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.

Not sure. I just looked and there seems to be an extra layer or two of fabric, but it's black and a similar weave to the outside. Usually insulated things like this are white.

No. It isn't a blanket type. It is a duvet covet much like sheet material. I haven't seen a matching blanket anywhere. And I plan to buy extras so I will always have one. I love Ikea.

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

It feels like nylon. It's held up great. No wholes or tears. The weather is great outside, the kids are in it now. One of the best purchases. The price was so much lower on Amazon.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

I really don't know. However, I did not like this blanket at all. It is very heavy and won't stay on the bed at night. It slides off on one side and ends up half on the floor. I couldnot return it because it was past 30 days when I tried to. Suggest you choose another blanket like I did. I,m just giving it away, got another from Peney,s that we love.

Sorry the the lack of specifics. I don't exactly know what it is, but it feels like a vinyl like type of coating. The textile material itself, that is coated, is most likely nylon.

It is goose down. I bought 2 of them and My daughter and I both agree incredibly warm. The only thing that was odd was the bottom part of the blanket you could see the feathers between in the blanket so waiting to see how durable it is. But for right now I would definitely buy a third if my son was living at home instead of at school.

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.

Looks similar. I looked at: Rothco G.I. O.D. Casualty Blanket The Rothco description says wool but there's no wool. It's a reinforced plastic tarp with one side colored and one side aluminized so it's pretty thin so definitely no wool but it reflects heat very well. On sunny days my car's way cooler than it would otherwise be.
