This blanket was a bit expensive but – now that I have it, I feel it is a really good investment, and I sleep better because of the warmth provided.

The cables inside the blanket can’t be felt, it feels like it has a interlining betwen the layers instead of cables. The blanket heats well (heat adjusts from 1-10) – I preheat at about setting 5 about then I turn it down to 2 before going to sleep.

Each side has independent controls. I would recommend this product because it is high quality product. The cables plug into the foot and the cable lines are plenty long enough to set the controls on the night table. The sage is more like a brownish army uniform color more than a greenish sage color. THe item arrived quickly and was well packaged and boxed for shipment. The instructions says it can be washed. A+ product.

I’m pretty sure this is the updated version of our last Serta top-of-the-line electric blanket, and that one lasted 13 years. Its fabric is still not worn out, but I think our beagle nestled down in it one time too many, and so now only one control works (probably shuts down automatically to prevent fire, so maybe the dog broke a wire).

The new Serta is even nicer than the first one. Those who say you can’t tell the wires are there, are right. They are very discreet. The warmth extends clear to the edge of the blanket, too.

We ordered the sage color, which exactly matches the trim on our bedspread. But the main thing you want from an electric blanket is comfort, simplicity of set-up and operation, and reliability. I can speak to the comfort and ease of operation right now. If this company is still creating their best blankets with the same durability as the older version, it should last over a decade.

The wales are slightly wider on this one than our older one, and it makes it more cushy. I think the fabric may be slightly thicker, but not enough to keep us from getting the snugly warmth of the electrical heat.

The cords on the controls are slightly longer, I think, then the last ones (I didn’t measure to be sure), because it seemed easier to pull them behind the bed, then up over the top of the headboard where we can each easily reach our control (and I am arthritic, limited shoulder movement).

I read a whole lot of reviews before I bought this blanket. My daughter recommended a heated mattress cover in lieu, but I have chronic psoriasis, and any heat directly on my back makes my skin flare and even bleed. If you have sensitive skin, you are better off with the blanket, and a nice top sheet between you and it.

I would buy this product again in a heartbeat. We wouldn’t have minded paying a little extra for some extra width (since we put pillows under our knees to sleep), but I can’t take a star off for that reason, because none of the other blanket companies offer it either.

If you want electrically-generated heat in your bed, buy this blanket.

This cozy and luxurious heated bed blanket by Serta is perfect for a comfortably warm sleep on those cold winter nights. The low-voltage heat setting is adjustable to your heat preference and has an auto shut off after 10 hours for safety.

It is made of a very soft micro-plush fleece that doesn’t pill. Once I experienced its comfort and warmth, I immediately ordered the Serta heated mattress pad for my bed as well. I have the Serta heated throw blanket, too. (It’s great for cuddling up on the couch reading or watching TV on a rainy or cold winter day or night.)

The throw blanket and the bed blanket are available in several colors, and the bed blanket is available in all bed sizes. Great gift idea for family, friends, and cancer patients who need that additional warmth in a bed blanket or throw blanket.

Don’t miss out on this wonderful item. Highly recommended!
