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!!!

The blanket does not get hot!!! only warm I was a little disappointed in that fact myself on those really cold nights..But its better than a cold bed..I have had blankets in the past that have gotten warmer.

The "blanket" is fleece like. Not too hot, not too cold. The mat itself I guess is cotton. The pillow is synthetic cotton. It does the job for both sons at their daycare. Just be sure to take the pillow out when it's thrown in the wash. And speaking of wash, it is so easy to dump it with the rest of other laundry. Quite happy with it. It's a nap mat. Some People become disappointed because they were expecting something heavy duty for the outdoors. It's not a sleeping bag. This mat goes on top of my sons cots.

I really don't know what they mean by microfiber. It is simply a bedspread. I am an EXTREMELY hot sleeper and this bedspread is perfect. I have now washed it about 4 times. We have a dogs and cats. It does attract some lint on the chocolate brown part, but not a lot. I really love this spread!

This blanket does not shed. I'm not sure what the difference in material is. This one is got some nap to the fur but not like the faux fur blankets out there. It's not that long nor does it shed. Thanks.

The blanket has the markings of origin being an old mwswap NATO Europe conventional secondary distributal. I believe its a euonato French bucket bundlement. These can be made in northern Europe or Canada and then recontracted back out to Thailand Malaysia so on so forth. Its a legitimate second bundlements blanket, I like it for the price. Its not 100% wool, its 70% wool and polyester. Its pretty good deal for the price. I can not guarantee the quality of course as they are actual resurplus issue. That's something to keep in mind. I use these for my dogs, the beach, and the best true utility blanket. There really not that bad. The stink when you first get them. Just spray them with disinfectant aerosol and then tide/ freebreeze linen softener .

Well your probably wondering why I would describe as nice and soft, well it is, and this is why. When I first got it I wanted to make it a little fluffier and I have done this several times with all wool blankets I have gotten, besides some wool blankets like the Italian and pretty much all surplus ones will have an odor to it like moth balls,. So you want to freshen them up. Anyway what I do is wash them in a gentle cycle and add a fabric softener, you'll notice what seems to be a lot of fibers come loose and it will seem as if the blanket is falling apart, but it is not,, trust me! Anyway if there seems to be an odor still,, wash it again,( this blanket does not have an odor) and you'll notice there will be a lot less fiber in the washer this time. From there put it dryer but at a setting of less dry and throw in one of those fabric softener towelets and dry about 80% to 90% and then let dry at room temperature, it will be ready to use that night with no distortion of material at all! Oh one more thing check your lint collector frequently about every 10 to 15 minutes till there seems to be no more fiber coming loose, this is what I used as a gauge when to take out of dryer,, it came out perfect! Enjoy P.S. it weights about 3.5 lbs. when said and done.

Insta-snow is a fine granular polymer. It is similar to what they use in disposable diapers. The instruction pamphlet explains what to do and not to do with it.

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question. Pamela B. Coada

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!

No. I wouldn't call it insulated. The fabric is heavier than just a single sheet of canvas would be but it is not insulated.

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 emergency blanket is less of a blanket and more of a tarp. It is much stronger and more reliable than the cheap mylar emergency blankets. it is basically a green tarp with one side having reflective material. It is not crinkly and loud like the cheap emergency blankets. It may be nice to line the floor of the dog house to warm it up, but I do not think it would be as cozy as a normal cloth blanket for nestling down inside. Hope this is helpful!

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.

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.
