I just love my electric blanket and am very grateful to that clever fellow that had the foresight to invent such a wonderful luxury. It makes going to bed on a cold winter's night so nice. All I have to do is make certain that SWMBO remembers to switch it on. :sleep

1437140 2017-07-14 04:06:00 I hate them. Yes the initial warm bed sensation is good, but after that I really dislike them. I personally Switch to fleece or flannelette sheets in winter and just put more blankets on the bed. All snug and warm no power needed.
Even with cotton sheets though they warm up very quickly.

1437141 2017-07-14 04:06:00 Edison popularized the electric chair . That was very good at warming us up.
Just watch all the heat coming off that elephant that he zapped .

I prefer a bunch of blankets to sleeping with a bunch of mains voltage :)

I never leave the electric blanket on when I go to sleep. I turn it off as soon as i get into bed. I think that it would be too hot if I left it on.

But, of course, the best thing to sleep with is a hot woman.:D

1437143 2017-07-14 06:35:00 Always send SWMBO to bed first to warm it up. With any luck she will drop off to sleep and not keep you awake. I hate it when you have just conjured up a sexy image in your mind, and SWMBO asks if you have remembered to put out the rubbish bin! Completely ruins the illusion. mzee (3324)
1437144 2017-07-14 07:48:00 I have never owned an electric blanket. I use flannelette sheets. On a cold night I do feel the cold when I first get into bed but the bed soon warms up through body heat. Bobh (5192)
1437145 2017-07-14 08:18:00 I'm with you Roscoe! I also love my Electric blanket. I put it on 30 mins before I go to bed, then turn it off. Really good on these very cold nights in Taupo!

Had to replace a Bladder after the Heating pad cooked it's self and fused it's self to the Bladder about 15 Years ago and as anyone that knows it's a mission to replace

And just the other night a leak on the side developed that was able to fixed with a Repair Kit so back to comfort again

1437148 2017-07-14 21:21:00 No electric blanket and cotton sheets only for me, SWMBO uses arctic fleece sheets and an electric blanket. Just one of several reasons why we have 2 king single beds pushed together. gary67 (56)
