We're concerned about the fabric not "Breathing" in borderline weather - i.e. it makes you too hot because it doesn't breathe. Any comments?

This blanket has three layers-the two outer layers are extremely thin, and the inner layer sounds like a plastic tarp or bubble wrap. I cannot imagine it breathes at all.

It's not especially breathable...but very comfy and warm, which is great in colder weather.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

There's a lot of fabric and it hangs nicely. I previously posted a reviewer of the danger of a child get wrapped up in it and the fear of not being able to breath. We removed it and threw it in the garbage for this reason.

The fabric is comfy; the little guy didn't have any complaints. I thought it would be hot, especially summer in the South, but there were no issues of overheating. Ease of cleaning is definitely a selling point; *most* messes came off with water and a little elbow grease. Hope that helps!!

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

We have had no issue with the material being too warm and we live in Florida. It gets quite hot here and as long as we have had the hammock we have never felt that it was too hot. With our weather we always bring the hammock in before we go to sleep. It still looks and feels brand new.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

It is not the mesh breathable fabric. It's made of the minky blanket material with a foam type filler.

I recommend these blankets but since you live in hot weather you should look into their organic Bamboo line of blankets. I just bought three of them and they are super soft and the fabric is much more breathable than the original, which made it ideal for the warm weather that we had a month ago.

No it does not make you feel hot at all or make you feel like your sleeping on plastic. I do know what you mean though, but this fabric is light weight and yet very sturdy and doesn't seem like it is made cheep at all and has held up extremely well and no crinkling noises either. I have no regrets buying it and would buy it again. I feel this a purchase you will be as happy with as I have been.

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

Not really. It's stretchy fabric so you'd be tightening it a lot. Also you'd get hot.

You will not feel a direct breeze through this material, but you will not feel like it is suffocating either. You can slightly see through the material. We use it on the top of our chicken run to block the hot southern sun and we also use it on top and behind our yard swing. It gives us breathable shade.

It does help... the fabric outside and inside are def made to bring you the best comfort and doesn't keep the heat of your body.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

We live in Baltimore and it get's pretty steamy here, I have never noticed the fabric of this carseat being any warmer than usual. As for breathable, she's not a sweaty mess when we take her out. I never really thought about it. I think it's fine

Never thought much about the padding until this question. I'm saying that it feels fine. It is a heavy cloth with a little padding, but feels fine. If it were softer or "fuller" I could see it compressing over time. That might not be a good thing.
