What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

I looked at my packaging and it doesn't state exactly what the material is....but it is soft but not a pile. It seems to be like a fleece/wool. It does feel soft and not itchy at all. Hope this helps :)

I believe it is a blend. It is much nicer than the nylon cheaper versions. It is probably more polyester than cotton - but definitely has a cotton look and feel to it. It is something that looks good and adds to the decor of a playroom or kids room. I bought for my grandson and he loves is and I babysit for a little girl that has a Haba Tent as well - different theme - and she loves hers as well. Seeing hers is what made me feel confident in buying for my grandson.

The base is some kind of thermoplastic capable of handling a heated stainless inner plate. The Nordic Ware website has plenty of good information about the temperatures they can handle, etc.

The "blanket" is fleece like. Not too hot, not too cold. The mat itself I guess is cotton. The pillow is synthetic cotton. It does the job for both sons at their daycare. Just be sure to take the pillow out when it's thrown in the wash. And speaking of wash, it is so easy to dump it with the rest of other laundry. Quite happy with it. It's a nap mat. Some People become disappointed because they were expecting something heavy duty for the outdoors. It's not a sleeping bag. This mat goes on top of my sons cots.

Waged one once became a dog blanket after that. I wait till drycleanerhas special I would get a fleecy blanket for kids. These blankets are not cheap nor cheap to upkeep. D

Not really a blanket. It's very thin para nylon. You can roll the thing up and put it in your pocket. Nothing really penetrates the material, even sand! That's the great part.

I am unaware of the antimicrobial material. However, there is no chemical or any initial or permanent smell. In fact, I have used it on mission (military) and it does not get "funky." The blanket is large, warm and lightweight. And not smelly, which is an incredible plus.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

They came wrapped in a plastic bag with a snap closure. I usually purchase the 4 packs so I can take one out and give it away to new mommies and then I'm still able to give other gifts instead of just blankets. Not sure what you're asking about as far as being different from classic types? Do you mean classic flannel receiving blankets? If so, these are much larger and better for swaddling. Also, as the name implies, these are made from muslin, a much lighter fabric.

There is cotton and polyester in the blanket. My daughter is the one that bought it and I have since washed t for her and it goes very well in the washer and dryer. She loves it!

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

Teri: Since I gave the blanket as a gift to my son and daughter-in-law when they got married, I cannot check its thickness. However, the blanket is definitely heavy, which is both a plus and a negative for those who don't want something heavy on top of them while they sleep. If I had to guess, I would say that the blanket is about 3/8" thick, and it is very warm and durable, without frizzy particles filling the air around it. I got it for them as it will be very warm when they want it, and will last them the rest of their lives. Not relative to your question, but still potentially important, is that the blanket cost a couple of hundred dollars less from Amazon than it did from the Hudson Bay Blanket people. I don't know of any other source for wool blankets of this calibre, and wish I had one myself. Hope this helps. B.

I am not sure but the person receiving this blanket as a gift, loves it. It is longer and thicker than an ordinary fleece throw and seems to be well worth the price.
