whats the difference between this ultra micro plush and the soft heat luxury microfleece? This ultra micro plush is more money. Why? Thanks Mary

I have the Soft-heat microfleece so cannot describe the difference but have been happy with my purchase; this is the 3rd winter using it. It is very lightweight and soft and heats quickly. I do sandwich it between another blanket and a comforter for strength so that we don't pull on it--I suspect this one might be more tear-resistant. Some have complained the wires of the one I have are in a tissue-like layer so I have been careful to not pull on it by itself. When I saw this ribbed one I wondered if this was the manufacturer's answer to that problem--with stronger exterior fabric to support the wires? Not sure but I can say I am happy so far with the Soft heat micro-fleece.

I agree with a prior answer that the primary difference is the fabric itself. The Ultra Micro Plush is knitted with a triple rib pattern that is more attractive and the Luxury microfleece is 'plush' and smooth. I bought the Ultra with the ribbed pattern as a gift for a relative. I felt it looked more expensive and would probably retain its looks longer than the smooth 'plush'.

I'm sorry I can't help with that one as I have never seen the luxury microfleece. Almost sound like the same thing. I'm sorry I can't help. I didn't want to just ignore your question.

I think the cheaper one is smooth fleece and the higher one is ribbed fleece. I have the ribbed. It's very plush and warm. Hardly need to turn on the heat. The heat is very subtle no hot spots.

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

The main difference is that the gel swirl has temperature control so it doesn't get hot in the summer. You can call Sleep Innovations directly for your firmness question. I know they are both about the same firmness. The Sure Temp ships faster. (I'm waiting for my Gel Swirl)

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.

Petite is very tiny if you want to have tighter curls use that for hair around your face.The small is a bit bigger and would use them on the top of your head for the more lift.I have never found a better steamer then the carouso steam rollers. It is simple but effective and keeps your hair from being dried out.loved them when my hair was long and would not hold a curl. Found these and my worries were over. Thanks for asking. :D

This is a cheaper model. It is smaller and not as soft as the other one. We bought this one first trying to save a buck and ended up buying the original as well. Once word of caution with these seats. You will need to adjust you seat down or your legs may fall asleep. Both the wife and I have to either lower the seat of put a pillow under our feet if we are on an extended ride. Hope this helps.

These towels, like you said, are lighter, thinner, dry faster, and are made from a more durable synthetic fiber. I used mine while backpacking around a dry, hot region (middle east) and found myself often using it by putting it under my hat to cover my face neck and shoulders, it saved my skin countless times, and packs very tightly. So why not replace every towel in your house? The suede is an...awkward feel against your skin. Not bad by any means, but different, it feels as though water isn't being absorbed as quickly/in the same way as say a typical towel does. Furthermore a typical towel honestly feels more 'comfortable' for whatever reason, and i'd imagine is cheaper as well. Mine didn't have the advertised anti bacterial technology, but I'd assume that is something that wash off/ wear off after a while.

I don't really know because I have only used the microfiber towel which I really like.

Apparently one is softer. The blue is, but it is way to hard for me. I can't use it at all. It is only $40.

"Luxury" has nothing to do with size. It's just meant to differentiate the cover because it's made of soft fabric that won't scratch a [luxury] car. You'll need to measure the length of your car to determine which size to get. Also, this cover may use soft fabric but it has rigid velcro straps at each corner that will scratch the car if you're not careful putting it on.

The one is in a more protected rubberized case. My ultra stopped working after a modest workout where I guess I sweated on it. I think the one is shielded by a rubberized clip that holds it away from your body.

Bella velvet is finished with velvet material, while micro is wrapped with microfiber. Color should be very similar if not the same.

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it

I would certainly recommend the hard surface (HS) version over the soft for many reasons. You will actually get the same amount of padding on the bottom of the HS as you would on the soft, as you can see in a couple of the pictures. The HS version is shaped as a wedge, and has what is essentially a rear exhaust instead of blowing hot air down towards your legs as the soft version does. The HS also has raised bezel to help stabilize your laptop while the soft version has absolutely no mechanism to keep your laptop in place. Hope this helps, and good luck with the purchase :) I would certainly recommend the hard surface (HS) version over the soft for many reasons.

I love mediums, they work for smaller and bigger babies I think, but now I really like the premium one I bought at Abby's lane, you can use those without microfiber.

hey jake, Super Freak Button Type: sliding switch with (3) heat settings vs. Speed Freak Button Type: Dial. The Speed Freak dial was really annoying. I kept having to adjust it back because it's located in such an awkward position (imagine a trigger on a paintball gun). Coupled with the fact that the Speed Freak weighed more than what I was use to my fingers kept slipping from hand/arm fatigue of holding it up; sliding the heat settings up on the dial. The Super Freak was noticeably lighter when compared to my sister's Speed Freak. They both have the nonslip texture which is great if you're like me and leave the dryer running; tend to place it on it's side on the sink countertop. On Amazon Super Freak costs 63.99 versus the 62.50 you'll spend on the Speed Freak. This is less than what I paid a few months ago (around $75/Holiday promotions?). Super Freak has a slightly wider nozzle while the Speed Freak looks more narrow. That being said the Super Freak is slightly shorter(back to the end of the nozzle) when compared to the Speed Freak which is longer (back to the end of the nozzle). Ultimately they're both 2000 watts with 7 heat settings and (2) concentrator nozzles. Bottom line is your personal preference. For me the selling point was the weight. It use to take me a long time to dry my hair; I have to section it and use a barrel brush. So, weight/size was a concern of mine. The Super Freak is light enough for me to manuever, and provides a strong/constant stream of heated air; it's cut down my drying time by half. I hope this helps out a little.

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.
