I just want a blanket to lay between my microplush blanket & bedspread to warm my bed before climbing into it. Will it live up to that purpose?

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

It does not generate heat, so it won't warm things up. From my experience it does a good job preventing heat transfer from one side to the other, so if your bed gets cold from the cold air and you climb beneath it, it would feel warm. If your bed gets cold from coldness that travels from your floor, and you lay on top of it, it would feel warmer than before too.

The better buy is the "J & M Home Fashions 108-Inch by 90-Inch Fleece Blanket" sold here on Amazon for $19.99 w/free shipping.

Because it's specifically designed for wool and sheep skin products, my guess is that it would be perfect for your wool blanket (at a cold temperature). I would not dry the blanket after washing, but would air dry.

My 3 year old kicks off all blankets, but this would have stayed put just fine when she was younger and still in her crib. I use it as a second layer with a quilt in her toddler bed. Probably not warm enough to use alone in the winter, but that also depends on how warm you keep your house.

My son uses it as a comforter, but only uses sheets with it with no blanket. I guess both

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it. The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

Actually, we love our blankets but have found that we only use them to preheat the bed when the room is cold. They're toasty enough as-is, and have a very luxurious feel to them, too.

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

i have a Murfy bed and the comforter gets enclosed in the bed in the morning. I would not be the right person to answer this question. I do fluff it when i open the bed, and it seems good enough for me.

I always keep a super warm blanket over me when I lay on it..otherwise I'd probably be chilled too since I lay on it shirtless for maximum benefit..may have just been a bug..or mat something you needed to get used to..but I think you should continue to use and do what I do..cover yourself with a warm soft fuzzy blanket..then crawl into bed immediately afterward..I always take a steaming hot shower before bed as well so that helps since it would also be prior to using the mat..

My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt

It to me feels more light and would be appropriate for Spring/Summer use. Could be for winter time but you'd probably want another blanket over or under it depending on how cold your home gets. Hope this helps.

I suppose it would depend on your climate. I live in the Midwest where spring and fall can be chilly so I use my fleece blanket as a throw and put it on my bed at night. It is amazingly comfy!! In winter, during really chilly times, I use it more as a throw when watching TV or napping -- very snug, cozy and comfortable because it is so light. Using it under your comforter would, I think, make your bed warmer -- if that is what you'd like.

You may want to stick with the blanket Idea. I have not found a great option for mine either. Sorry for the bad news.

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.

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.

No. You need an analog blanket. They don't make them anymore. But might find something on eBay.
