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 live in the South and do not turn my blanket on every night. I have had this blanket for about a year and still love it with no complaints. It really feels so nice to get into a warm bed at night and keeps my feet so toasty. Really love my electric blanket!

Yes I have washed it several times and it washes and dries well in the dryer. This is mostly due to the fact that it is very thin - more of a summer blanket than a winter one. I had to use a second comforter to deal with the colder weather this winter.

I've washed mine once, and I didn't have any shedding problem. It's all pretty secure. I don't know how thick the smaller one is, but I can say that they are all very thin. If you're looking for plush, look at other ones. If I didn't have soft carpet underneath, I wouldn't have kept it.

Have washed mine about a dozen times so far on warm/cold. No pilling so far and no shrinking either.

I purchased these King sheets from amazon in April of 2012. They are still in wonderful condition and soft; they are on the bed most of the time. If anyone has problems with pilling, they may be washing them with other items. I wash my sheet set alone - never with other items. I ran across your question because I am ready to buy another set for a spare.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

Mine didn't shed too badly in the wash- but I also have a brand new HE machine. I think it might be a little annoying for the top of a pillow, but it would be nice for a backside and a softer flatter fabric on the front. Overall this is a really nice Chenille for the price. It's worth getting just to try.

I have not run into that problem, I use my blanket as insulation on my Treager BBQ unit and works fine no problems.

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.

I have not experienced any symptoms of this using the blanket. I am sure with extended use, that the material will eventually fray to the point that you could experience some Irritation, at which point you would discard and replace it. I am very happy with the performance so far.

I know it is thicker of most that I have seen. moving it around it doesn't seem to crinkle. I love it ,it is one of my favorite blankets for the winter time. I hope this helps.

I would compare it to a very soft fleece. It washes well and remains just as soft without 'pilling'.

I have had no problems with it shedding. It is a very good quality wolf. My Granddaughter loves it. Very soft and cuddly.
