Royal Velvet Warming Electric Blanket

I purchased this in August of 2008 and waited to actually have some history with the item before passing judgement. My first impression was that (as advertised) the blanket was soft and snuggly, and the wires were more flexible compared to the many other electric blankets I've owned . While the wires become more visible as the blanket surface compresses (from sitting or laying on on top of it, I really can't feel their presence. I have since machine washed and finish dried ( partially air-dried in nice weather on my lawn, then machine dried on low for 15 to 20 minutes)at least three times, and it looks and functions like new. No pilling. No shrinkage. Warms beautifully. Good range of temperature. Up-right controls are easy to see use and find in sleepy confusion.

This is the softest electric blanket I've ever owned. It heats up fast. The controls are solid and easy to manage. Recommend highly!

This is one of many warming blankets I have purchased over the years and I have to say that this one is the softest and warmest I have used. The controls are great. You just plug in a control for each side of the bed and turn it on. No hassles with extra wires, making sure the right control is on the right side, etc. It warms up very quickly so it's nice to get into a warm bed now that the nights are cooler. I haven't washed it yet and am a little concerned as to how well it will hold up. Otherwise, a great deal.

This blanket was a real bargain. It washed up wonderfully, and is soft and comfortable. The color is beautiful. Love the way you can set it to warm up the bed before you get it. Would recommend purchasing it to anyone.
