I just want a blanket to lay between my microplush blanket &amp; bedspread to warm my bed before climbing into it. Will it live up to that purpose?

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

Probably but I guess I'm not sure what California winters are like!! I live in northern VA and we use this with just our sheets until November or so then we add a thin fleece blanket and it's always plenty warm. I really love it!

This should be perfect for you. I just checked and it has a crisp, crinkly noise when you take a bunch into your hand. It's pretty sturdy, thicker than any cellophane I've purchased before. It would be perfect inside texture blankets for babies.

It appears that it is a blanket. I put it on top of top sheet & under the bedspread.

I put mine in a slumber ball from Drs Foster & Smith and the warmer is longer than the bed. I had no problems curling up the ends. To be honest it's kind of nice because it ends up enveloping my cats in warmth. The pad is very flexible.

I have the lightweight comforter. For a really warm comforter you may want the regular weight version, or add another blanket on top of this one. That's what we do if it's really cold but the comforter still works in warmer weather too. Excellent quality, you'll like it :-)

My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

Hi. Unfortunately no, it's thick and cozy, my fav blanket by far but more suitable for a crib as it's long. The best solution would be to buy a pack of the thinner muslin swaddler. They can fold up very compact and doubled up they are thick and cozier. Congrats on the twins!

I have not used it for that, however it is very thick and substantial unlike a lot of blankets at that price point. I think if you keep it fairly clean it should hold up well. Hope that helps.

No. You need an analog blanket. They don't make them anymore. But might find something on eBay.

Well of course heavy is a relative term, but I routinely place a heavy comforter and a thermal blanket over the top of this item with no problems. In fact, you need to place at least one blanket over the top in order for the heat generated by this blanket to be most effective. Also it is very important to look for the label sewn onto the blanket which instructs you which side of the electric blanket needs to face up on the bed. Placing the blanket on the bed in any other orientation substantially reduces the amount of useful heat produced.

No, the blanket does not pre-heat the sheets. What you should do is to leave it on for a few minutes before you get into bed if you want it to be slightly warmer. Keep in mind that it provides very gentle heat but for most folks that's more than enough.

Boy, that is cold. It is a tough question since I did not buy the blanket for my bed which has a quilt and a plush throw and I keep my thermostat at 62 degrees at night. My area can get down to freezing in Nov, Dec and Jan. So, I would say if your house gets colder than mine, it might take two of these blankets or blanket and quilt (or maybe a comforter). Sorry, I could not give a definite answer.

There is minimal fill in the blanket. The color is the same on both sides. The is a different stitching pattern on each side. The blanket doesn't look like it would be warm,but it is. I would recommend getting a size larger tan the size of the bed, if you are going to tuck it in. The blanket is not plush.

I think it would be fine as long as you follow the instructions and keep the blanket flat. Start with level 3 and see if you need more. My best results have been on level 2 so far. Still loving it.

It works nicely for keeping the blankets off your feet. Its stable and doesn't move after it is placed between the mattress and the box spring. only issue I had with it was taking it out every day to make the bed!
