Bedsure GentleSoft Electric Blanket Full Size - Soft Ribbed Flannel Heated Blanket with 6 Heat Levels, Heating with 10 Time Settings, 8 hrs Timer Auto Shut Off, Gifts for Grandma (72x84 inches, Grey)OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

The one I bought had darling red reindeer on it with a white background. So pretty & soft. Xmas was already over BUT when you're cold you're cold. Ya know what I mean?. It's still folded on the corner of the bed just in case! Several choices for time & heat level. Very easy to set. The throw is well made, not too heavy or too light, washable & the price was reasonable.

There are days when you come home wrung out, world-weary, and one existential thought away from screaming into a mug of tea. On those days, you don’t need conversation. You don’t need advice. You need heat.Enter the Bedsure Electric Blanket (Twin, Soft Ribbed)—a quiet, steady comforter that doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t judge, and doesn’t cool off halfway through like your last situationship.The fabric? Soft as regret-free life choices. The ribbed texture adds a little extra tactile joy, like wearing your favorite sweater but in full-body form. It warms up quickly, evenly, and with just enough weight to make you feel like someone actually gives a damn.Settings are simple. No rocket science. Just pick your heat level, press the button, and descend into what I can only describe as cozy hibernation mode.It’s not flashy. It won’t fix your life. But it will hold you in that “I just need something to be kind to me right now” way. And that counts for a lot.This isn’t just a blanket. This is an emotionally available heat source. 10/10 would wrap myself in it again after a long day of pretending everything’s fine.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great. Set it on 2 and was warm all night. Very soft and comfortable. Must have in cold weather states

I love this blanket! It has a timer and 6 different heat levels. I’ve tried other blankets but they just get warm. This one actually feels hot. The heat is pretty even and doesn’t have hot spots. the material is soft. It’s perfect for pets too, my cat loves it. It’s honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made all year. If you live in a cold climate, this is a must have.

We did a lot of research here on Amazon looking for the perfect electric blanket for us. This one seemed like it would offer the most of what we wanted and for the most part it does. The blanket is the perfect size and weight (more on that in a bit), and super soft. We also love the 'ribbed' look on the blanket, something that set it apart from most others we viewed. We also wanted a blanket that we could program and this one seemed like it would do what we wanted and it does with one glaring omission - more on that farther down. Back to the weight - the blanket is 'heavy enough' to be a good blanket when the power is off. It's not too heavy and it's not too light. When looking at blankets on Amazon make sure you scroll down to the middle of the page and check out the banket weight. This will tell you how thick it is and is also usually reflected in the price. Thicker=more $, thinner=less $ in price. We live in New Hampshire so we need a heavier blanket for the wintertime. If you live in warmer climates than a thinner blanket might work for you but then again you probably don't need an electric blanket right?The blanket came well packaged and boxed, vacuum packed in a bag. Right out of the packaging the blanket is super soft and would be wonderful right up against the skin. We use top and bottom sheets so there is a sheet between us. The top material is also 'grippy' which good as it keeps the top, mostly decorative and lightweight quilt from sliding off the electric blanket onto the floor when I toss and turn. We bought the queen size and it's the perfect size, hanging off the sides and bottom about 12". Make sure you check actual dimensions. I've seen ads on Amazon for 'queen size' blankets that were actually twin size. Queen size should be around 90x90".Onto the controller and wiring. The wiring from the plug at the bottom of the blanket to the controller is barely long enough. If you're running straight back along the sides it's likely fine but if you're 'routing' the wires through even a little bit of things under the bed (like an adjustable bed frame) and up behind the headboard then it could use another foot or two. But it still was long enough to make it to my bed nightstand. Next is the controller itself. It's big and 'bulbous', taking up a lot of room on the nightstand. But it also seemed to have the most buttons and programming options compared to the other front runner we were considering which had a controller that was much more attractive and sleek.The queen size controller (different from smaller sized blankets) defaults to Lo (heat) and 08 (hours) of runtime when powered on. There is a PH (preheat) button, a Set (programming) button and plus and minus buttons. Once powered on you can press the preheat button or set the temperature and/or auto-off time. The temp settings are 1 through 10 (with 1 showing as Lo and 10 showing as Hi). The auto-off hours are 1 through 10. I had assumed (hoped, I guess) that when you set a temperature and auto-off time that the controller would 'save' this information or at the very least default to that when you turn the blanket back on. It does not. It defaults to Lo heat and 08 hours auto off regardless of what you set. This means that if you have a preferred setting other than Lo heat and 8 hours auto off, you'll need to program that in every single time you turn it on. This seems like an easy omission to fix and the other blanket we were considering automatically defaulted to whatever setting was on when the blanket was shut off.Now, onto blanket operation. The blanket heats up to full in about 30 minutes on preheat. Preheat is nothing more than Hi (10) in temperature. I tested this by turning on the preheat and testing the feel at both 30 and 60 minutes. No difference. Then I tested the blanket in 30 minute intervals at Lo, 5 and Hi heat settings. Lo you can barely feel anything, 5 just a bit more and Hi is the exact same feeling as the PH preheat setting. One thing about electric blankets is don't expect to climb into a bed preheated to full and find a super warm feeling, like when you throw a blanket or sheet straight from the clothes dryer onto yourself. (Update - more on this at the bottom!) It's more of a warm-ish feeling. But once you get in and lay there for a bit you will quickly heat up and find the higher settings much too hot. After a few nights testing the blanket out in a very cool room with outside temps down in the low 30s I find that preheating the bed for a half hour then getting in is comfy and then shutting the controller off and then back on which sets the temp back to low. Then I set the auto off to an hour or two so it shuts off after I fall asleep. Then in the middle of the night if I wake up and it's cool I just turn it on (defaults to Lo) and go back to sleep.The last thing about the controller besides the size and limited programming is the LED lights, which are big and VERY bright. There is no auto-off or dimming of the display so it's like having a nightlight in the room. If I turn it back on after I fall asleep it lights up the room. The only fix is to turn it upside down to block the light. Fortunately the display is flat like the bottom so it completely blocks the light as long as you have a flat surface. But I would think that having an auto-dim feature for the display would be an easy and needed thing on these controllers.Overall we like the blanket and will keep it. I've knocked down the rating to four stars for the few things mentioned above.Update: After a few more nights of use, we have discovered a couple things. First, you can achieve that wonderful 'straight from the dryer' warmth when you first get in. When you turn the blanket on to PH (preheat), place something a little heavy on the top of the heating blanket like another heavy blanket. We take a couple heavy blankets and fold them up so they are covering the whole length of the two 'heating element' locations. Then let the blanket preheat for at least an hour, preferably two. If you do that then getting into the bed is VERY warm and feels SO good when the room is cold! (Note that we do remove the extra blankets when we get in.)The other thing I found out that is that if you change the time when you go to bed, lowering it from the default 8 hours to a shorter time period so it shuts off after you fall asleep, it takes into account any amount of time the blanket as already been running. So for instance if you preheat for two hours on the default 08 hour setting then upon going to bed change the time to a shorter time of say 3 hours, the blanket will shut off in only 1 hour since it has already been running for 2 hours. A work around for this that I use is when I get into bed I just shut the blanket off and turn it back on. This then changes the temperature to the default of Lo and time to 8 hours which I then change to my preferred duration of 2 hours and the blanket will run for the full 2 hours.

Great quality and fit. Works like it is supposed to, with enough warmth throughout the winter season. Great value for the money!

I haven't had this electric heated throw for very long, so I can't tell you about durability or longevity.And by the way, it is not a dog bed/blanket. More on that later.The 1st time I turned it on, I tossed it over a chair, and it didn't seem to heat up at all. I questioned its heat level. I decided to actually throw it over my lap and was pleasantly surprised. It rapidly provides a comfortable, gentle heat.It's larger than I want, making it a bit awkward for my lap while working at my desk. But for a chaise or sofa, it's perfect.The fabric is soft (especially the sherpa side) , and the ribbed quilting along the wires makes it attractive. Color (grey) is good. The control is okay; after reading the simple instructions, I learned how to set both the temp and the time.All this for a very reasonable sale price.About the reluctant-to-give-over dog:This evening I decided to relax in a favorite arm chair with my throw. I turned it on and left to make tea. Upon returning, I found my best friend curled up on it — loath to relinquish his spot.

This is a super soft and touchable blanket. The separate heating zones are perfect. I like the pre-heat feature too. The only complaint I have is that the heating zoness seem to be in the wrong orientation. When I place the blanket so that my husband and I each have our own zone, the blanket is too narrow for a king (only about 4 inches overhang each side) , but also too long (almost 2 feet too long) It would fit the bed better rotated 90 degrees, but then I would have temperature control of our top halves, and he would have control of our bottom halves. Oh well! We'll live with the narrow configuration.
