Sunbeam Electric Heated Fleece Channeled Blanket, Full, Garnet

Living in new England, during the winter it feels chilly when relaxing and not moving around. I was going to get a heated throw but for the same price I could get a single size electric blanket. The throw would have been much smaller. With the blanket I can lay on the sofa, watch TV, and even take a nap, and feel toasty.

Not sure of duribility as i have only used it about 8 times.Compared to blankets 25 years ago, these may not get as warm. I see the larger better ones have a pre heat on high for an hour and then goes to yur selected lower temp. Dont really need it. I have a queen bed, but it is just me sleeping so I bought the smaller twin. I think the blanket is thick enough, you want heat right? The wires are about 2 inches apart. I place it on the bed, then a sheet to keep it clean. I then place a standard blanket on top of me. High seems warm enough, could be just a little warmer maybe like the old ones I think I remember. I often set it to mid setting. I am happy with it. Right now it is a nice warm unit. Seems my knees are less stiff in the morning. They are not warm as a heating pad and the instrructions will say that. If it last 2 years, I will be happy. It does not get very cold much in Houston Tx, and I keep the room temp about 64 at night.
