I have one that I don’t like at all, but my mom does, because it’s so light. So I keep it for when she visits.

I prefer my heated mattress pad and flannel sheets. Not much more needed. 😃

I’ve been searching everywhere for the acrylic blanket. Craigslist, Ebay, JCPennys,… the list goes on and on. I can’t seem to let go of my obsession/need for it.

Just curious if anyone has found a supplier that is decently priced and the correct “feel”? Every time I get one off the internet or find it in stores, it’s never the right one unfortunately ☹
