I am very disappointed in this blanket--though some could be considered my fault. I searched soley for "Electric blankets" and when this came up over and over, I thought I would try it for the price. It is NOT electric, but that is the category I found it in--and still find it in. "Queen size, electric blankets only." Other than that, it is way too expensive for a nonelectric blanket--and probably way too inexpensive had it been electric! I just don't want anyone else to be mistaken. It may work out, but I did not need another regular blanket and it is not very soft. Good luck shopping.
