How does this blanket compare to the Soft Heat Luxury Micro-Fleece Low-Voltage Electric Heated Blanket without ribs that costs $99.99?

The soft heat ultra micro=plush is the worse heated blanket that I have ever owned - it takes forever to warm and never ever gets very hot - my husband hates it also - he has gotten so use to a much hotter heated blanket to keep him warm during the night that and we purchased this blanket prior to Christmas and it is raveling out terribly. So very disappointed with this purchase and will not ever purchase anything like it again.

I'm not sure how it compares but my wife and I love this blanket. I never turn it hotter than 4 and I'm perfect all night!

I have no basis of comparison to the $99.99 blanket, but we love our micro-fleece. I can't imagine why anyone would want a hotter blanket. I have never turned my side up to more than three, and usually I set it at 1 or forget to turn it on. My husband keeps his side at 4 or 5. The fabric is soft and fine to the touch. We do use a light cotton cover over the top to keep it clean, and surely that helps to keep in the heat. But we always have done this with electric blankets. This blanket is way nicer than any we have had before. /jgh

The ~$175 are the old model with classic fabric (think backpack, most use a blanket under the baby with these), the ~$199 are "plush" fabric (felt like, like a baby blanket), and finally the $230+ ones are the new design, which added bluetooth capability for controls and music. The new ones also say they are "now faster".

I'd say it's about the same as a light quilt. Not nearly as warm as a puffy comforter, but about the same as an average blanket.

I think this is less "bulky" both the fabric & the heating wires that run through it. I love it, but it is on the smaller side, not as wide as a throw, which might be appealing if you were looking for a shoulder wrap or lap blanket for an older person. I'm 5'9" and it's long enough to keep me warm from shoulders to toes!

I don't know the exact temp. It's not as hot as a heating blanket. It warms the surface works better with a blanket or sheet over you when laying on it to hold some heat around the body. It also turns off after a few minutes.

No, unless you want soggy fleece. I didn't like this wrap that well because it is too thick and heavy on the neck. I have one now that is slimmer, heats in a minute and the heat lasts a very long time made by Earth Theraputics and costs around $10 plus/minus. I've had a few and eventually the microwave gets wrongly set (when you're overtired or just not being careful of the setting and the stuff inside burns and clumps. Pat p.s. have never seen a microwavable neck wrap that is immersible.

TBH there is not that much of a difference. This one has grommets on four corners, so it would be easier to string up. It is also in my opinion far more durable than your standard Mylar emergency blanket.

Don't know, we just used regular outlet. My husband did not like this electric blanket, as it seemed cheesy to him, and he didn't like the electric blanket feel. Perhaps if I had gotten a more expensive one, he would have liked it better. I like an EB as I grew up with them. You might want to price compare.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

I use a heated blanket and have had no issues. Can't comment on a heated mattress pad, though.

I recommend these blankets but since you live in hot weather you should look into their organic Bamboo line of blankets. I just bought three of them and they are super soft and the fabric is much more breathable than the original, which made it ideal for the warm weather that we had a month ago.

Always put the electric blanket on top. We absolutely love ours. We used electric blankets a lot back in Indiana but had not used one in Texas until last year. It will keep you toasty and we love that ours has dual controls as my husband doesn't like as much heat as I do. We highly recommend this beautiful blanket. We just leave the electric cord between our mattress and box springs all year so it is easy to hook it back up again when we need it back on the bed.

I don't know about an electric blanket but I use a heating pad all the time. No problems noticed. But I do have a mattress pad on top of the foam.

What I received is a very nice, basic comforter with no flaws in construction. Very warm, nice evenly distributed fill, good quality stitching and nice smooth all-cotton shell fabric. I would expect higher end pieces to use higher-end wool; for $250+ I would want a guarantee of sustainable/humane farming practices, and to know what breed/s the wool came from. For the price, this is an exceptionally warm and cozy blanket with nice heft and drape. Just a good deal as far as I can tell.

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.
