For any person who has owned this blacket for some time, do you notice any issue with pilling/shedding (like many other electric blankets do )?

I've seen no shedding or pulling and I've owned a few for about 3 years now.

I have not noticed any pilling/shedding thus far. We've had it over 2 mos. only.

I have had no problems with any piling and shedding as of yet. We have used the blanket for about 2 months now. I have a sheet between us and the blanket and a light blanket on top. I do not regret buying it at this time.

We've had it 6 months and it's been fantastic and still looks great. However, I believe it's only been through the wash once since we use a sheet between us and the blanket.

No, it looks great after 2 months (more or less) on my bed. I haven't washed it yet but 5 cats love to play and paw it and it looks great. A real quality blanket.

absolutely not. My sunbeam's all did, this has shown no sign of anything like that. It is just as soft and smooth as the day we put it on the bed. Hope this helps.

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

I have not - I've been using the blanket every weekend for years, and never experienced such issues. That could be related to your diet and the blanket could be reacting to that. I would keep the lower settings at your comfort level to help with that as well.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

We have owned two of these blankets and love them. They keep you warm with the lowest settings and seem to last forever. We finally replaced the first one we bought after four years of regular use. We have a queen-sized bed that bends into a lounge chair. I am sure our blanket got more wear and tear than one on a regular mattress.

I know it is thicker of most that I have seen. moving it around it doesn't seem to crinkle. I love it ,it is one of my favorite blankets for the winter time. I hope this helps.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

I purchased these King sheets from amazon in April of 2012. They are still in wonderful condition and soft; they are on the bed most of the time. If anyone has problems with pilling, they may be washing them with other items. I wash my sheet set alone - never with other items. I ran across your question because I am ready to buy another set for a spare.

It says not to do that in the manual... but I do. Have had mine for several years and so far no problem. Just have to adjust the temp setting down a bit so as not to burn yourself. I never expect more then several years out of a blanket because of how hard I use it.

I haven't seen any pilling. I had a set of these sheets for our old bed and liked them so much I ordered two more sets when we got our new bed. I can't imagine what's different between my sheets and those that reported how awful they were, but I love them!

It looses fiber, sheds a great deal. I asked for a refund. I don't know what others found, but it was excessive. They refunded my money, but never wanted the blanket back. I still have it, and just checked again. It sheds.

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it. The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

I haven't had to wash it yet. We have it for looks only. I take it off the bed each night, and use other blankets to cover up in. Sorry - no help. But it looks very well made that it could stand up to years and years of washing.

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.

Yes I have. It it is heavy but my washer has never broke. I've also have but my blanket in the dryer for 20 mins and rotate the blanket put in for another 20 mins. Pull it out and air dry the blanket the rest of way.

I'm not sure about anti-pilling (not sure what that means), but it was fine when I put it in the washer. I try to not dry my blankets as I feel like not doing so helps them stay soft, but I is put it in the dryer on the no heat setting and it was fine. I'm not sure my answer helps, but I hope it at least answered something.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

Hi, So far I have not seen any shedding- the flocking is attached pretty securely. I was concerned about the colorfastness of the brighter colors and black, so I opted for the ivory color. My closet has never looked better and I was even able to organize by category with the nice rack dividers Amazon sells. I found stuff I didn't even know I had and the same clothes fit back in my closet with room to spare!
