I have dysautonomia and pots and heat intolerance and get very ill when overheating. The cooling side keeps me cool all night. It is lightweight and i will probably use this as my winter blanket.
This blanket is silky and light, and works like magic to keep me cool at night. It definitely has a cooling effect on one side initially. After using it for about 5 months - it is much cooler than not using it.
One side is made out of what would be used for cheap workout pants. The entire surface of the colling side has large, hard pilling. However, this is my fault -the blanket does look as pictured.
Blanket is now extremely uncomfortable and not cooling. I have an oscillating fan, but it doesn't make much of a difference. The cooling part works but be prepared for this blanket to look and feel absolutely hideous in about 2 months.
Soft, comfortable. I have flannel sheets and this blanket is like a thick flannel sheet. It is soft and lightweight but warm and not bulky.
They remain good afer going through the washing machine & dryer, with no observed pilling or other such badness. Bought a couple of these now, multiple wash &. Dry cycles, no pilling at all.
The lint screen was clogged with red knap from this blanket. It seems to be made of lint. It is very tightly woven but very stiff.
There is no talking to the people totally rude and dismissing to me. A fourth time, ditto, a fifth time ditto.
