I have the Soft-heat microfleece so cannot describe the difference but have been happy with my purchase; this is the 3rd winter using it. It is very lightweight and soft and heats quickly. I do sandwich it between another blanket and a comforter for strength so that we don't pull on it--I suspect this one might be more tear-resistant. Some have complained the wires of the one I have are in a tissue-like layer so I have been careful to not pull on it by itself. When I saw this ribbed one I wondered if this was the manufacturer's answer to that problem--with stronger exterior fabric to support the wires? Not sure but I can say I am happy so far with the Soft heat micro-fleece.

I agree with a prior answer that the primary difference is the fabric itself. The Ultra Micro Plush is knitted with a triple rib pattern that is more attractive and the Luxury microfleece is 'plush' and smooth. I bought the Ultra with the ribbed pattern as a gift for a relative. I felt it looked more expensive and would probably retain its looks longer than the smooth 'plush'.

I'm sorry I can't help with that one as I have never seen the luxury microfleece. Almost sound like the same thing. I'm sorry I can't help. I didn't want to just ignore your question.

I think the cheaper one is smooth fleece and the higher one is ribbed fleece. I have the ribbed. It's very plush and warm. Hardly need to turn on the heat. The heat is very subtle no hot spots.

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

Hi, There I honestly don't know whether it is cashmere or not, it says that it is cashmere on it, it is very soft, My bedroom in my apartment runs pretty cold are 62 degrees and i sleep with a down comforter as well as a regular comforter and do not wake up hot or sweating I wake pretty comfortable so I would say that it does not make it hotter to sleep by a noticeable amount, but I have not had it for summer months LUCID does sell one that is labeled bamboo covered one, I love mine so much that my mother just purchased one for her self, I have mine covered with a fitted sheet and then i kind sized minky blacked from northpoint which is what I sleep on top of hope this was helpful.

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

I would say it is less plushie and probably good for the heat because it seems more breathable. We live in Atlanta and I don't think it will be a problem for us.

I believe the ultimate dreams company is the manufacturer but I could be mistaken. They email and ask what level of comfort you want from plush to firm and then ship it really quickly so I think they do it themselves. I know it isn't a brand name that you have heard before but your also not paying for a name. I love mine and have had it since may with no issue of sinking or much change. It's as comfy as the day I recieved it. It's a great bed for the price especially.

I think the new one has "heat control" cover and/or foam. The brookstone web page would probably give you the details. I saw it in the store and tey look and feel the same to me.

Hi R. Dma:I don't see your review on these only on the Take Classic. The Micro's are now priced below the Classics. Wondering more in depth why you would recommend the Micro's Please let me know. Thanks!

I would order the Cali king . They have changed them since I ordered my mothers. Her was soft and not as pokey as everyone is complaining about. Hers was more like the full down version I have. Didn't have the problems like mega feathers and getting poked all the time. I do advise checking jc penny's sometimes they have the full down comforters on sale less then $80 around this time of year. I also recommend the cover for them as it is natural for the feathers to come out and this helps with getting poked , keeping feathers & down out of your nose ( it happens) an keeps you comforter cleaner. Just was the cover instead of the comforter, because most washers won't hold the king or Cali king and its usually cheaper to buy a new one instead of taking it to the cleaners. I hope I've answered your question!

I am guessing that the "super" lotion you refer to has more moisturizing properties--since the one I have mentions that you may use it with other moisturizers. I am not familiar with the product you mention, and since there are no Amazon reviews, I am guessing that it is a new product. I would go for it! I am due to replenish my supply of the moisturizer since I will need more for the winter months--so I just may get the one that you have mentioned. Good luck!

Valerie, the difference between the two versions is that the one without the fan is only 512MB of ram, whereas the one with the fan is TWICE that amount of ram, being 1024MB ( 1G ), which needs a fan. The more ram you have, the more heat, but most importantly is the more ram you have the higher the resolution you can get ! Both are fine, just depends on what you want. My preference is always for more ram, and a fan ! Hopes this helps you out Valerie, and happy shopping here on Amazon !

I wonder why the less expensive one is less expensive...are the differences in feel, materials, quality and/or size?

I'm not sure what the difference is; however, I will tell you I am more than happy with the one I purchased. The surface texture is smooth, the fill is equally distributed in the squares (as it's designed) and it's warm. In either case, expensive or not, I don't think you could go wrong purchasing from this company. Their customer service is superior.

I don't really know what micro-plush is... but the material is a very fine texture, almost like an Egyptian Cotton high thread count sheet. It's soft and makes a really nice cover. I'd surely buy another one if necessary!

We don't think it retain heat any more or less than others we have had. We live in Florida and sleep with AC on 75 every night. My husband is a big man and this one gives him the support he was looking for. I personally like a softer feel. I would not buy this again.

This is actually blizzard fleece, it sounds like you are are looking for microfleece. It is lightweight and has a nice drape to it and the outer textured is almost pebbled, as opposed to 'felted' llike blizzard fleece.

I did not see that option offered on any of the sellers I researched. Perhaps you might initiate a search & specify " ultra soft".
