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 haven't had any problems with mine, Im not sure how you could fix it. I did find at one time mine was not heating, I checked and the cord was not plugged in completely to the blanket. I plugged it up and it works fine.

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.

Hi Diana,I don't recall any problems with shedding with the 3 we own. I would suggest keeping them for the 30 day money back period and evaluate then. Ours were purchased many years ago and are still like new. I have never had any complains about the quality as other reviewers of most recent time seem to have reported. I wonder if the quality has decreased? One thing to know thought is that the ones we have are the Snuggfleece Original, not the more economy version.

I've had mine for over 3 years, many many washings, and not one pill. I do get dryer lint, but it doesn't seem to affect the wonderful quality. Maybe they are a bit thinner; I'm going to order another set and compare!

Yes and no. It's a little loose around the edges but otherwise works just fine. I love my set, even after a dozen washes, they're still super soft and look great. No fading or loose threads either!

I have not had too much of a tangling problem. I have noticed the last couple of times that it tangled a little bit. I had to untwist it and lay it out straight before I could roll it back up and pit it away. The last time I used it I layed it out flat again and stayed with it for a few minutes to make sure it was feeding out ok and not twisting at its longest run. good luck with it. Hope this helps.

I haven't washed the blanket. We rarely use it it's more of a family heirloom

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 bought mine in November of 2013, and used it nightly right up to April. I put it back on this year in late September and have used it every night since. I have never had any issues, and it's been washed in the machine twice so far. I can honestly say this is the best bedding related purchase I have ever made. Living in the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY, we have some seriously cold nights, and this thing has been a Godsend!

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.

We've had ours for around 2 months. It's still plush and no bunching at all. Every once in a while, I throw ours in on air fluff in the dryer, and it's pretty much the same as it came out of the package. I'm very impressed with it.

I've had it over a year & I love it. It's very soft & comfy.It works better than any electric blanket I've ever had!!

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.

I don't. I have lots of these blankets - they feel so nice when they're new. But they are garbage. They all ball and put off LOTS of lint. I have a couple of white ones that drive me crazy! I think after lots and lots of washes it gets better - but I dont' use the white ones all of the time, so they may never get to the point where they don't give off lint. I keep buying them thinking maybe they'll perfect the technique - but I just think this particular kind of blanket is always going to be linty - which is too bad - because as I said, they are super soft and nice when they are new.
