What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?
39189
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!!!

Product Description:"It is insulated with ½ thick foam all around the inside. It has a waterproof shell and awning that are way more durable than our previous version. It is dry inside and we aim to keep it that way. It the most advanced "Cat Heated" shelter on the market. We fill each shelter half full with wheat straw to provide the perfect nest for your feral. The front and back doors are 1" thick Pine. The doors are felt backed with 1/2 inch thick foam to eliminate water penetration through the doors."Apparently this Product Description is inaccurate according to other people who have answered this question.

Sorry the the lack of specifics. I don't exactly know what it is, but it feels like a vinyl like type of coating. The textile material itself, that is coated, is most likely nylon.

I agree with the previous reply that the material is like Styrofoam. Its purpose is insulation - to keep contents warm. So far, it seems to hold up and not disintegrate.S.D.

I would describe the blanket as more cotton-like and warm. We also wash our blankets weekly because our dogs sleep with us and the blankets have developed little "nobbies" on them. I thought the blankets were going to be more brownish...they are definitely purple.

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

Hi, This is a tarp with a reflective coating on one side. I don't know how the coating is applied, or if it is a layered sheet adhered to tarp. It is a multiple use blanket, and I just used one camping last Fri., and it it worked well and took off the chill in the early morning. I bought several and I am going to add some more grommets to a couple of them. I also used one Sat morning about pre dawn to get some extra sleep in the car, blocked out the sunrise and retained the body heat. Temps were in the mid 50's and they worked very well.

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 really don't know what they mean by microfiber. It is simply a bedspread. I am an EXTREMELY hot sleeper and this bedspread is perfect. I have now washed it about 4 times. We have a dogs and cats. It does attract some lint on the chocolate brown part, but not a lot. I really love this spread!

I have the Soft-heat microfleece so cannot describe the difference but have been happy with my purchase; this is the 3rd winter using it. It is very lightweight and soft and heats quickly. I do sandwich it between another blanket and a comforter for strength so that we don't pull on it--I suspect this one might be more tear-resistant. Some have complained the wires of the one I have are in a tissue-like layer so I have been careful to not pull on it by itself. When I saw this ribbed one I wondered if this was the manufacturer's answer to that problem--with stronger exterior fabric to support the wires? Not sure but I can say I am happy so far with the Soft heat micro-fleece.

It would appear to be there is no difference. Both look like the one I own. The blanket is of the best grade and quality I have ever seen, well worth the cost. It is 100% Wool, and 100% Quality. Will Keep you warm better than any blanket you own. Thanks.

This is a twin size blanket. It is quite generous . My husband has to sleep in a recliner due to lung problems and he loves it. It is warm enough that he turns it on only when it is very cold out. I think it is a better buy then the blanket I bought for my bed at 4 times the cost. I know this is long winded but I hope it has answered your question. Pamela B. Coada

They mean double as in 2 (small) people. This item only has one layer of nylon. I am very happy with mine and would highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

It is wrapped in polyurethane. It doesn't need to be insulated. You tube has videos on how to install it yourself!

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'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.
