an electric blanket? Apparently sales have gone through the roof since the recent energy price increases. I have not used one myself begore as I always thought that unless it was padded, you must be able to feel it under the bedsheet and that would annoy me. I have a lovely martress topper and enjoy the comfort of that. When you read reviews, it akso seems that people don't think they get warm quickly or to a high enough temperature. Do you have one, do you like it? Anyone you would recommend? |

As they say every cloud has a silver lining. I have an oxygen concentrator in my bedroom. Being a medical necessity the electricity for it is free, but as a by product it pumps out heat. I tend to sleep with just a sheet because it keeps bedroom about 24 degrees Centigrade. Not sure if that makes me lucky or not, but it does make me warm. |

I love my electric blanket. I usually switch it on about 10 minutes before I plan to go to bed and it means it's lovely and cosy when I get in. Unless it's particularly cold weather I don't usually keep it switched on once I'm in bed though.

No they're flat, old ones maybe but they're much better now |

I have an electric blanket in my bed and I have one on the sofa. Stems from being in a big house by myself when the boys weren't here. Didn't see the point in warming all the house when it was only me in it. |

I meant to buy an electric blanket for the winter as my flat is freezing in the cold months but I toughed it out with just my hot water bottles and wearing my dressing gown over my clothes. I got through it but if I'm still in the same flat next winter I will definitely be buying one x |

I’d hate that. Worst nightmare!
Even in the depths of winter I sleep with a window ajar and am still hanging out of the side of the bed tying to keep cool.
I’m like a giant hot water bottle. |

I have an electric blanket- I pop it on a few mins before bed & only keep it on for a few minutes once I'm settled, but most have a variable timer anyway. You don't feel them under the sheet but if you think it'll bother you, they also make overblankets.
I have to do sleep shifts for work & I bought an electric heat pad from Amazon to keep there & it's brilliant - bigger than a hot water bottle, variable heat, timer & only about £20 ish |

Never used an electric blanket, have gone through the winter using a 4.5 tog duvet with a brushed cotton top and bottom sheets.
Bedroom radiator turned off,
I also sleep naked. |

"Would not trust them. Prefer a high tog duvet. I have kingsize on my double bed just to be sure."
Yes, I feel a bit anxious about them that's why I thought someone might be able to recommend a particular one they are using that they thought wad good enough to recommend. I will keep googling  |
