Which is warmer - this micro-fleece one or the "plush dot velboa" fabric sleep sack? Thx

I've never seen the velboa in person but this one is a thin but warm material . It did the job of keeping my baby warm but I made sure he wore a white onsie underneath his one piece pjs and I would also put this warmer over his clothes and i would still use a blanket but tucked in below his waist so he couldn't use his hands to pull it over his face. This warmer gave me piece of mind that his chest was still warm.

Plush dot velboa is a bit thicker so it does a better job at keeping the baby warmer.

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

I absolutely love mine. In my opinion it's more cotton-like and warm. Although not over warm. I've used this on cooler summer nights and am certain it will keep me warm on cold winter nights. Hope this helps.

It's not fleece--definitely a velour. It's quite thick and chunky. I actually get pushed too far forward using it on the bus so I rest my arms on it in my lap. It's firmer than one I bought in the drugstore. I like them both for different reasons.

This is a queen size sherpa blanket. It's lightweight, but very warm and soft. Got it for my husband for a Xmas gift and he loves it. Easy wash & dry.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.

I originally purchased mediums but decided the large was a better fit. We have standard size slumber jack mummy bags... I felt that I could always throw an extra fleece in the stuff sack with my sleeping bag or just compress is down smaller. The medium was just a hair to small, but it may work for a short bag. Good luck!!

To correct one of the answers above, this does NOT have a flap of fabric that serves as an integrated cover. Coleman calls this "Wrap 'n' Roll," and some other of their sleeping bags have it. THIS ONE DOES NOT. It has cords that wrap around the rolled bag and hook together. There is no integrated cover, and no stuff sack.

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

Depends how cold you keep your house. I've used sleepers along with the sack and just short sleeve onesies.

The reviewers seem to say that this product is just polyester stuffing. In other words, just as heat reflecting as a quilt. Did the seat cushions that you remember "crinkle"? If so, it was probably a cushion with a mylar layer. They can be quite warming, without actually having to create any heat (such as a lightweight hunter item). Read this review and try the product they mention instead.

It's Holofill. The Army hasn't used down since the early 1960s. Its a very warm, extremely well made sleeping bag. I reccomend getting the light weight patrol bag as well. Theyre inexpensive, and the two bags (Green patrol bag and black intermediate cold bag) are designed to be put together to make an arctic bag, or be used separately depending on your needs. WELL WORTH GETTING!! (I have 8 yrs Army infantry experience)

i bought an extra white one and the blue fleece one..I like the blue fleece one better cause white gets too dirty...they are pricy tho...when i bought them they were around $40 now its more...so if you can make one do that...but due to the shape its hard to find another one that works

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

Hi Mark - It's a closed bag like a sleeping bag - definitely not just a blanket. We tried them for an outdoor swim meet to keep warm between my races. Problem was, the silver came off and my son ended up looking like the tin man!

This item is microfiber. I do not know whether this is the same comforter they sell at Target

I put mine in a slumber ball from Drs Foster & Smith and the warmer is longer than the bed. I had no problems curling up the ends. To be honest it's kind of nice because it ends up enveloping my cats in warmth. The pad is very flexible.
