Sunbeam Warming Blankets, Mushroom

I have another electric blanket from another store but figured I could save some money by purchasing this one at Wal-Mart. However I find that this blanket is paper thin with thick stiff electric wires. My old one was much nicer and the savings I experienced on this one is very little when spread out over a six to eight year life. I will take this one back for a refund and get a better one that I figure will cost me only $5 per year more.

I have used other warming blankets besides sun beam and they did not keep and hold there Temp. and I had to replace them more often with the use they got from me, so I stick with only Sun Beam Warming Blanket's they are worth paying a few dollar's more for I recomend them to my friend's ...

The blanket would have been fine if I had a CALIFORNIA King bed, but it's WAY too long for an EASTERN King bed. Unfortunately, there wasn't a choice of two king sizes for the blanket. On my Eastern King, it hung all the way down to the floor at the base of the bed and since there are heating coils near the bottom it can't be tucked in. It's therefore unusable and I'm returning it.

At first I thought this blanket wasn't providing heat like I need it to, but as soon as I placed it directly above the top sheet, it provides more than enough heat. This blanket really cranks. In fact, it's so strong, that I rarely use settings above 5/10.

My husband has a rare form of blood cancer which causes him to be cold constantly. He was sleeping with two comforters... doubled over, a warming throw, a quilt, a skull cap and socks on his feet to keep him warm at night. Since I got this blanket he's able to sleep under just this one blanket and stay warm and toasty. The cap and socks are gone and he his one happy camper. I can see where this blanket would be very benefical to other cancer patients or an elderly person... that just can't seem to get warm. My husband is still thanking me daily for his blanket. Such a small thing to do to make his life better.
