warmth: Which is accurate?
1087280
Here are some facts I found, as we had the same question. Fill power The higher the fill power, the better the quality of down. Fill power is the space, in cubic inches, that 1 ounce of down fills. Down with high fill power is made of larger, stronger clusters from mature geese. These clusters fill more space with less weight, providing loftier down that's more breathable and durable. Fill power of 500 is good. Between 500 to 600+ is considered excellent. Fill weight This measures the actual mass of down in ounces. The heavier the weight, the warmer the comforter. But always keep in mind fill power. For example, a lightweight comforter with high fill power can be warmer than a heavy comforter with low fill power. I called the seller and found out that all 3 comforters have a different weight in ounces...even though they are not stated on the item description. He said he has 3 levels, ranging from 24oz (Queen) through 36oz.

I'd say the temperature is fairly accurate within a few degrees but my son's hangs on an exterior facing wall and it a few degrees warmer/cooler than my daughter's which hangs on an interior wall.

Sure, but it is dangerous around the eyes. How do you correlate to actual body temperature? It isn't practical if you are concerned with a person's health state, go for the most reliable and safest... under the tongue digital thermometer. Some have a very fast response time. More accurate as well. Unless you purchase a known to be accurate by guarantee IR unit, then you might not be getting what you really need. You would have to have an IR unit with the most sensitive range near 98.6 degrees F. Skin temp can vary quite a bit and still not reflect the internal temperature. I would not recommend it.

Yep! But I have never checked if it is accurate. Last, the temperature is adjustable.

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

Just keep in mind that the circle over which the temp is averaged gets larger the further you are from the object. Also, since it computes temp from a black-body radiation model, it isn't very accurate with shiny metal objects, especially if they're reflective. Still , I love mine. Hope that helps.

"1" is warmest setting. Mine is on "5". The higher the number, the colder it is.

it nay not feel very warm to you with a 98.6 temp, but on a cold day outside, the contrast is noticeable. Cole paws on the cement do notice the warmth of the heater. I always use a cover on it, a towel or polar fleece so they don't feel any coils. I am on my second year or caring for ferals, I have a family of 4, Mom, Dad, Baby and uncle Fluffy. and after a winter of below zero nights and days, I am very happy for the heaters, I have them in 2 small doghouses.

I am afraid I cannot answer that. I can tell you my husband feels the comforter is too warm where as I feel it is just right.

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

I did not use this warmer long enough to be able to provide an accurate answer.

I would say it is a medium warmth, which is what we were looking for since we live in the South. Yet, we had a 28 degree night last week and we are fairly miserly with our heat. It kept us very warm. It is light weight which is also what we wanted. Hope that helps.

It doesn't specify but I'd guess after seeing them it's warm...was not happy with product or there customer service!

About 400F. I say "about" because there seems to be a few marks above where the numbers are but that is essentially the range.

I have never felt any heat so I'm going to assume cold. It's ultrasonic so I would imagine there's little to no heat involved in that.

Hi Tony, the packet label states +/- 2°F between 50°F to 86°F. For me the relative accuracy between comparative readings is sufficient. I hope this helps. Cheers, Ken

It doesn't give a digitized read out of the temp, I usually keep it at level 8,9 or Hi. I have a thick fleece cover over it. My clients seem very comfortable at that setting.
