For any person who has owned this blacket for some time, do you notice any issue with pilling/shedding (like many other electric blankets do )?

I've seen no shedding or pulling and I've owned a few for about 3 years now.

I have not noticed any pilling/shedding thus far. We've had it over 2 mos. only.

I have had no problems with any piling and shedding as of yet. We have used the blanket for about 2 months now. I have a sheet between us and the blanket and a light blanket on top. I do not regret buying it at this time.

We've had it 6 months and it's been fantastic and still looks great. However, I believe it's only been through the wash once since we use a sheet between us and the blanket.

No, it looks great after 2 months (more or less) on my bed. I haven't washed it yet but 5 cats love to play and paw it and it looks great. A real quality blanket.

absolutely not. My sunbeam's all did, this has shown no sign of anything like that. It is just as soft and smooth as the day we put it on the bed. Hope this helps.

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

i have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!

This blanket does not shed. I'm not sure what the difference in material is. This one is got some nap to the fur but not like the faux fur blankets out there. It's not that long nor does it shed. Thanks.

Bought mine Nov 2012, seems to be very durable. Washed very little couple of times no sign of pillowing don't believe fabric would. I have been very pleased with product. Dr. Mercola has some info on earthing now too might be worth looking into.

I know it is thicker of most that I have seen. moving it around it doesn't seem to crinkle. I love it ,it is one of my favorite blankets for the winter time. I hope this helps.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

Oh, really?! Mine isn't scratchy to me at all. I mean, it IS faux. It's not going to be anywhere near the kind of softness of real mink. This is really subjective, of course, but on a scale of 1-10 of softness, hmmm, I guess maybe I would give it a 7 or thereabouts. It's so hard to rate. As far as shedding, I've had absolutely no shedding. I think I read a review or two of people who had ordered this item before I did and they said there was some shedding. I just didn't experience any of that. I've had mine now for over a year I think and it's like brand new, no shedding and I just adore it. Hope that helps. :)

Like the other reviewer, I have not noticed any pilling. I washed my sheets on a short cycle in cold and dried on low using dryer balls and they are super soft with no pilling. Try washing with a cup of salt with a bit of detergent and add a cup of white vinegar to the final soak cycle. This may solve the problem. Good luck.

I haven't had to wash it yet. We have it for looks only. I take it off the bed each night, and use other blankets to cover up in. Sorry - no help. But it looks very well made that it could stand up to years and years of washing.

Honestly, it's not great. I washed it when I first got it, as you'd normally do with any new bedding etc. and it pilled immediately. I've only washed it that one time and the pilling has definitely gotten worse. Meh.

I purchased these King sheets from amazon in April of 2012. They are still in wonderful condition and soft; they are on the bed most of the time. If anyone has problems with pilling, they may be washing them with other items. I wash my sheet set alone - never with other items. I ran across your question because I am ready to buy another set for a spare.

I have not run into that problem, I use my blanket as insulation on my Treager BBQ unit and works fine no problems.

I use this pad for my Grandmother, I have to wash it daily or at least every other day. I haven't had any issues with it pilling. It's nice and large. This product is well worth the price, at least in my opinion.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

Mine didn't shed too badly in the wash- but I also have a brand new HE machine. I think it might be a little annoying for the top of a pillow, but it would be nice for a backside and a softer flatter fabric on the front. Overall this is a really nice Chenille for the price. It's worth getting just to try.

I never had this issue.... It has literally been the best blanket we have ever purchased!! I only by aden and anais products now, they are our favorite and our childrens favorite!!

It has been wonderful. I would be the first to share a concern... I love the strong cotton feel and there is no problem will pilling. I just wish every company would catch on to the need for wider bedding for deep mattresses... They got it right in fitted sheets but not bedspreads, conforters and the like.
