I've been a big fan of the Snuggie except on really cold days where it kept me warmer than nothing, but I was still uncomfortably chilly. Enters the Heated CozE. I LOVE IT!!! I even sleep under it at night & stay warm as toast!!! There is ONLY one drawback...it shuts off every 60 minutes. Still I have found that once the heat has built up under it, that it keeps me warm for hours. If I wake up cold, all I need do is turn it back on & within seconds I'm warm all over again!!! Most nights I only wake up once needing to hit the on button & many nights I sleep straight through. It says that it is machine washable, but I've not had mine long enough to test that feature. My computer is in front of a window & I'm often cold while working there. The CozE keeps me warm as toast so I can work for hours in comfort!!! The wiring is so small which makes it hard to find & also means you're not rolling over or sitting on uncomfortable wires while wearing. Since you need to plug it into a wall socket, it is not made to get up & walk around in. However, their closest competitor wasn't good for that either!!! I've had mine for 2 weeks & I've not found even one major drawback. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of buying a second CozE...one for my bed & one for my computer. I've found it to be much warmer & more convenient than any of the warming blankets that cost twice as much!!!
