The cuddle blanket reviewed was for a smaller blanket which is so popular we have trouble keeping up with supplies. The blanket shown is the NAP Queen Blanket
and it measures 88″ x 90″.
The Brookstone NAP Cuddle Blanket
is designed to be used as a throw or a light cover for napping in a chair or on the couch.
It is available online or at Brookstone stores, and most of those reviewed had purchased the forty inches by sixty inches version (although there are larger blankets available). Most said they loved their blanket, and would definitely recommend it to others.
This cuddle blanket comes in a variety of colors, and is easily washable. Many consumers stated they had washed the blanket multiple times without any bleeding or pilling issues—and in addition, any stains from accidental spills just seem to come right out with minimal effort. This makes the blanket a steal – the price was another plus, according to many consumers who thought it compared favorably to other throws.
This blanket has been reviewed as luxurious by consumers who chose to take it camping. One reviewer weighed in saying they had taken their blanket to Iraq, and been very pleased with the comfort it provided. By all accounts the Brookstone Cuddle Blanket is warm, soft and silky. One consumer said they had worried it would be scratchy, and they were pleasantly surprised that is wasn’t.
One negative review has been logged; the consumer claims that the blanket discolored their white leather couch. This would seem to urge caution using one on a white couch unless it is tested for color bleed, but this review is the exception – over 90 % of consumers were very happy with the blanket. This product has a very solid customer satisfaction ratio.

The Brookstone nap Dream Blanket
does the job it is designed for, perfectly according to those who have purchased and reviewed it.
The unique two sided blanket is touted as being small and lightweight enough for plane or car rides, yet warm, luxurious and durable. Most consumers appreciate the fact that here is a blanket that actually lives up to its name; it feels like a dream to be cuddled up in it, whether on the bed, the couch or the road.
One side of the blanket, as one reviewer put it, is similar to a fur blanket, while the other is just like a soft microfiber towel. This same reviewer pointed out another plus to the product – no more thermostat wars with significant other about how hot to keep their home. The blanket can be used to warm up the chillier half of a couple without suffocating the other.
There are claims that the blanket feels just like a cloud, it is so soft. The fluffy plushness is apparently enough to make anyone want to crawl in a bed and take a nap; grandmothers and grandsons alike.
One reviewer claims she simply tosses her blanket in with the linens and washes it with no adverse results, while another claims it loses some of its softness if cleaning instructions are not followed carefully.
All of those reviewed gave the product five stars, and one reviewers reminds you to buy extras for Christmas presents, and to make sure you have at least two for your own home.

There are absolutely nothing but good things to say about the Happy Feet Micro Raschel Throw – Penguins Blanket
The picture on the throw is based on the penguin movie Happy Feet (a movie that almost any child adores) and this blanket has nothing but five star reviews listed for it.
Due to the fact that it is based on a movie, the Happy Feet Micro Raschel Throw Penguins Blanket is considered officially licensed merchandise—but that doesn’t have anything to do with how well it does as a blanket, or what consumers think of it.
Made of polyester, and fairly large for a blanket—fifty inches by sixty inches—the Happy Feet Micro Raschel Throw Penguins Blanket entertains children and grownups alike. Because of the fluff of the polyester, there is plenty of warmth in the blanket.
This is a very soft blanket, and one reviewer pointed out it was good that her child’s room is cool, as it might be too warm for summer use otherwise. Another parent stated that her child loves all of the products associated with the movie, but she was particularly impressed by the quality of the throw, for the price paid.
Parents and grandparents alike love the Penguins Blanket for their children and grandchildren— and one stated she planned to buy another for her own use! Some reviewers opted to use this particular blanket as a wall hanging, or even for a way to work at identifying things, as in a learning game.
All the reviews are five stars, which is very high for a children’s product; the price is probably the most appreciated as the blanket was overall more than was expected for under $20.

The majority of purchasers of the Sunbeam heated mattress pad state that overall it is terrific, and give it a very positive rating.
It is easy to plug in and turn on, without the hassles associated with some other similar products. The fact that it is made by Sunbeam is given as one of the main reasons for buying it, as consumers have had good experiences with the brand in the past.
Many claim not to be able to feel the wiring at all, and state that it is very simple to use.
Several reviewers mentioned that they appreciated the fact that the heated pad warms quickly, not only for cold nights but for sore muscles and sports injuries.
Deep pockets that fit comfortably as well as securely over the corners of the mattress make it so that the Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad gives users a sense of security, knowing that it won’t come off easily if they move around in their sleep. This is a benefit for anyone who has a mattress with a thick pillow top, as they have previously found it hard to find pads that would fit the thicker mattresses without popping off the corners.
As with all electrical goods follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure that you are using the product correctly and safely.

Those of you who enjoy the comfort of a water bed will be happy to know that sheets are available online, in an extensive range of colors and patterns. Waterbed sheets
are available at discount prices which doesn’t mean that you are skimping on quality or size.
Sheets that are designed specifically for waterbeds, generally have a generous cut so they will fit any wooden or soft sided bed.
Shop online for sheets in cotton, cotton/polyester and satin and there is a huge range available in all colors and patterns such as animal prints, bold patterns, solids and pastels.
The waterbed sheet set pictured are made from 600 thread count 100% Egyptian Cotton, so they are silky smooth to the touch.
They have a generous cut so that the bottom sheet doesn’t rid up and the added feature of having the bottom sheet elasticized to ensue it stays in place.
I have always found that buying sheet sets was a waste of time for my King sized waterbed because the fitted sheet in the set never went round the mattress but with these water bed sheets you will not experience that problem. Fantastic I say.
There is nothing more appealing than slipping in between fresh new sheets on your waterbed.
The beauty of shopping online means your goods are delivered right to your door.

The luxurious, elegant and high class JoJo Designs 9-Piece Baby Designer Crib Bedding Set
is a popular item with parents and grandparents alike, and the solid ratings reflect this. It’s mostly liked for its pretty, feminine qualities – without being frilly or lacy.
The biggest and most pleasant surprise for the majority of reviewers was that even though the tag states dry clean only, they did not encounter any problems washing it in the machine. Some have even put the bedding in the dryer with good results, and most seem to agree that the material is of fine quality. A few of the reviewers were disappointed that the set was dry clean only (which they did not realize when ordering), and instead of attempting to wash it, sent it back instead. This apparently could have been avoided, as far as the consensus goes.
However, instead of pink and brown shabby country chic as advertised, most reviewers agree this bedding set is more Asian inspired with a lot of gold coloring in it. Most saw this as an advantage as it allowed them flexibility with their nursery designs, but a few reviewers did not like the Asian vibe at all, because they did not expect it. The latter were unhappy that the picture did not reveal the amount of gold coloring it had in person.
All in all, while both sides mentioned the same facts about this set, the rating given depended on their overall outlook about this product and how well they could adapt to it. This JoJo design 9-piece set ranks a solid 4 out of 5 stars overall.
