I just want a blanket to lay between my microplush blanket &amp; bedspread to warm my bed before climbing into it. Will it live up to that purpose?

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

I have a queen ad it fits well . This is a beautiful and cozy blanket worth every penny and fits more than one. I use it as an overthrow for the spread when days or nights are cold. If you want to use it as a spread, I would definitely suggest you get a larger size. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have hung both blankets and bedspreads. It fastens to the other side with a suitcase like handle over a hook on the adjacent side. It is not as durable as I would have liked. The first one I ordered arrived smashed - returned it and the second was fine. Only problem is it will not retract as I wanted so I have just left the lines up permanently. For the money I would have liked for it to be more than hard plastic. I've had it about 18 months and use it in my sunroom with the windows open for that fresh air scent.

I suppose it would depend on your climate. I live in the Midwest where spring and fall can be chilly so I use my fleece blanket as a throw and put it on my bed at night. It is amazingly comfy!! In winter, during really chilly times, I use it more as a throw when watching TV or napping -- very snug, cozy and comfortable because it is so light. Using it under your comforter would, I think, make your bed warmer -- if that is what you'd like.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

I don't think it will work on a blanket. The fitted sheet goes under the mattress and the suspenders hold the sheets tight.

I mostly just used my receiving blankets, and tucked them in at the sides. I bought a small waterproof pad -- I think the kind for a changing table - and slid that underneath. Long pillowcases can also work.

From what I can remember, since it's been quite a while since I bought this, it's too thin to use as a top or bottom of a baby blanket, and yes, the piece I got was large enough, but it would be better used for a lining for a child's dress bodice, or a summer gown maybe, or a summer blouse, not for something you need to be strong. Just my opinion.

My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

Hi! If you have REALLY, REALLY thin blankets and you are tucking them under at the foot of the bed, much like you would tuck in a top sheet, these might work, but I rather doubt it.......the jaws of the three clamps of each corner suspender system are not going to be able to open wide enough for anything other than the thinnest of blankets. I also don't believe that you would be able to pinch a chunk of a thicker blanket, again because the jaws just won't open wide enough. I have been pleased with these so far, because I can adjust each of the three straps on each so that no one part of the corner system takes all of the strain. But, I would give this a pass for heavier stuff, myself. Good luck! Hi!

No. This blanket is very thin. I would not buy it unless you plan to put another blanket in top of it. Not worth the money.

I use a heated blanket and have had no issues. Can't comment on a heated mattress pad, though.

No, the blanket does not pre-heat the sheets. What you should do is to leave it on for a few minutes before you get into bed if you want it to be slightly warmer. Keep in mind that it provides very gentle heat but for most folks that's more than enough.

I used it for an air mattress for several months. No problem. I might have put a blanket or bedspread under the mattress to be safer, but I don't think that was necessary.

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.

I must agree with Jade, in thinking it's too lightweight to be used at a blanket. Maybe two stacked would work but...

I think so. Mine is outside, with a foam/ vinyl cover on top. With the blanket on, the heater comes on less. I put the bubble side down and trimmed it a bit larger than the top and it works well. I read on line that it is more energy efficient to keep it warm all the time vs turning it down to cool when not in use and then heating it all up again before using . I find this to be true also. I am not an expert.
