When it is cold do you need 2 of these blankets?

Imagine that it would depend on what type of climate you live in; you could use just one and if you're cold throw another blanket that's around to see if that is warmer for you - and after that you might know if you need more that one Vellux Blanket.

Depends on how warm you keep your bedroom....if 72 you probably only need 1 and a sheet; if 62 buy a queen and fold it over so that it's double. Just a thought.

Nope one is all you need. I pivot the rolled up solar blanket on a home made prop. Works great.

I'm sure it would be. We live in Ohio and only will have to add a blanket if it gets really bitter cold. Right now we just use it with the sheet and it's fine.

They are fleece so they are warm for the thickness but they are the thinnest 'blanket' you're going to get without using a sheet.We use them in summer here - Los Angeles area

No, they fold down and are enclosed so no snow or ice. The cover will roll onto the rollers if you install it properly.

Hi Katie,I don't think you're supposed to. Depends on your climate. I have two outside but one on a porch and one way under the eves on the house. Haven't had any problems. But..not winter here yet. At 20 below zero F, that's going to be tough. 90% is keeping them dry and out of direct sunlight. Keep them powered all the time in the winter (that's the plan) because they will generate a little heat. If the wind's not too bad they might survive.

In cold weather, no. As long as there is sufficient room under the blanket for air flow and the plant isn't sweating you can leave it on until the temperature comes up and the possibility of frost passes. what you don't want is too much moisture to form under the blanket from the plant "sweating" if that happens and you don't let it breathe, the next night it frosts, the frost will reach the plant even with the blanket on it, excess moisture under the blanket will end its ability to protect the plant

Yes, I have it between 2 blankets and it has held up well over the year. It did come with some loose threads but I just trimmed them back and I have not had any other issues with the blanket.

Yes I have done both and once on a very cold night in the tent I put two down by my feet and they kept me warm all night.

It doesn't get cold, that is for sure. It is pretty warm, I would say, provided one has blankets and the like.

Actually, we love our blankets but have found that we only use them to preheat the bed when the room is cold. They're toasty enough as-is, and have a very luxurious feel to them, too.

I think I would bring another blanket if the evenings are cooler. If it is a warm night, it should be fine.

We have a comforter on top of the blanket, and it works fine. If you put a top sheet underneath a normal blanket, you should do the same with this blanket. No need for anything between the comforter and the blanket unless the comforter is made of some exotic material that doesn't like heat.

I don't know what the material thickness of these Mylar blankets is and that information is of, at best, little importance. What you should understand is that these blankets were not designed to provide any real real insulation and warmth like an ordinary wool or synthetic material blanket would; they were only designed to stop the wind and to reflect body heat back towards the person using them.

They stay warm for about an hour. If you need to have warmth for five hours, bring more than one (like maybe 5)...

I believe it is needed, I put one in when started using it daily for 3 months still going even in extreme cold.

Yes. You can also use a low heat pad in colder temperature. Some of soft blanket for them to huddle together to build up their own body heat. Just like you under a blanket. Thanks for taking care of the little ones
