Okay, so I finally caved and bought the Medical King Heated Blanket after seeing it everywhere. Here’s the tea:
First off, it’s SO SOFT. Like, ‘wrap yourself in a cloud’ soft. The gray color is chic, and the 50x60 size is perfect for solo snuggling (though don’t expect a king-size bed fit—it’s more of a personal throw).
The heating? Magic. 10 settings mean I can go from ‘gentle warmth’ to ‘I’m a human burrito’ in seconds. Though heads up—one side does heat faster, and the auto shut-off kicks in after 3-4 hours (great for safety, but I wish it lasted longer).
Bonus points: it’s machine washable (lifesaver), thin enough to layer, and the wires don’t make it feel like a robot blanket. My cat claimed it within minutes, so now we fight for it. Worth every penny—just ordered a backup!
