Too small, doesn't work - not revolutionary, waste of money
Once again I fell for praising reviews and a flashy advertisement for a product that doesn't deliver :(, boooo...
This is a real review so people can know exactly what to expect.
- the blanket is too small, the larger size will NOT fit a queen size bed, it can't be used for two people (unless you are both 4 feet tall and 95 pounds)
- the material feels weird on the skin, like a heavy t-shirt with parchment paper like coating, very rubbery and sticky and kind of uncomfortable. Basically nothing you want to use without a sheet
- I tried to use it without a sheet the first (and last) night, to make sure nothing will get in the way of the cooling properties but it just did not cool at all. I tried both sides up and couldn't tell any difference to my 20 Dollar fleece throw (that is way more soft and cozy)
- After 2 hours I could tell the difference though, I woke up sweating worse than ever, our house is set to 75° at night and I always wake up in the middle of the night, because I'm too hot, but I usually don't sweat that bad.
- 50 bucks for a cooling blanket that does nothing is upsetting, I will park it in our guest room or use it as a car blanket and add this experience to lessons learned on amazon, nothing revolutionary about this product besides the price.
I can see some minor pros of this blanket, it is light-weight and doesn't take up much space, but again 50 bucks for a spare blanket you keep for kids, dogs or visitors is a bit excessive, if you can have normal fleece blankets for a third of the price. It might have cooling properties if you switch from a heavy comforter to this blanket, but I believe a cheaper product without cooling rubber coating will work just fine, I will get back to my old blanket and watch out for other products that actually REALLY cool and don't just claim they would...
