Sweet Dreams with Heated Blankets

I don't know about you, but I don't like climbing into a cold bed in the middle of winter. Electric warming blankets have been a solution for me.

Back when I was a child I remember visiting my grandparents house in upstate New York. There weren't any electric heated rooms, but only a grate in the floor of their upstairs bedroom that allowed a bit of heat to come up from the pot belly stove. We would literally run to the rest room or guest bedrooms which had no heat, and quickly slip back under the piles of covers.

When I got married I ask my husband to promise me that I wouldn't be cold in our house. Even though the heat may not always be just right, I have always been blessed with wonderful electric heated blankets. There are many companies that make electric blankets, but I have only selected those in which their products are trustworthy. Take a look at these fine electric heated warming blankets.

How safe is your blanket?

Is it time for a new one? Watch this and see.

I know that I have used blankets when they weren't as safe as they should have been. The blanket I had was soft and comfortable, and I didn't want to part with it. Finally, I realized my health was more important, and bought a new electric heated warming blanket. Listen to what experts have to say about the blankets we just have to have.

World's Safest Electric Warming Blanket

You can turn down your thermostat and save money by buying a low voltage Electric Heated Warming Blanket. Read and see why.

Buy Kinkade here on Amazon

Soft Heat Blankets are considered to be the World's Safest Heated Blankets on the market today. The Wall Street Journal reported that Soft Heat Products were a Best Value in January, 2006 and they keep improving their product. That's something we like to hear. The Safe-n-Warm technology converts 120 volts AC into less than 14 - 18 volts DC. I don't really understand what that means, except that iit is good and safe for my entire family. They are the first and only Heated Blanket in the US to be UL Listed as safe using less than 25 volts of electricity.

The Safe-n-Warm System along with the Ultra Soft Micro Wires, provide even warmth throughout the blanket without any Cold or Hot Spots. This is something that I really like, because I have had less expensive electric heated warming blankets that are really hot in one spot, while leaving other parts of the blanket ice cold.

Soft Heat Blankets are made of Ultra Plush and Lightweight Polyester and Micro Wires, which means that the Micro Wires are woven throughout the blanket to provide even heating. They are so thin that they are virtually undetectable. The blankets can even be cleaned in a washing machine and tumbled dry without any loss of shape or shrinkage. That is something else that I've experienced. You couldn't wash them or put them in the dryer without harming the elements, and this blanket comes with five year warranty to boot. Pretty good.

Are you worried about safety when it comes to electric blankets?

Well, don't be.

Soft Heat Warming Blankets

Soft Heat Warming Blanket

Best & Safest Blankets. UL Listed to assure safe operation

Another feature I like with the blanket is that Soft Heating Warming Blankets come in all sizes and colors. That means I can use them in any room or with any decor. Other features include: Exclusive low voltage technology for overall even warmth. It has an auto pre-heat setting I like so I can warm it up before I get into bed, plus it has a ten hour automatic shut-off for safety. No harmful electromagnetic radiation. The controller cord and power cord lengths are 6ft each, and the connector cord is approximately 10ft. It is not recommended for use with an electric adjustable bed, water bed or blowup air beds (but Sleep Number beds are OK).

Automobile Electric Blankets

Why sit in a cold car?

I love these products. One of the biggest problems in traveling is that I need to have the heat up, and my husband likes it cool. So we crank the heat up and he rolls down his window. Not a good solution. That is until we discoverd the automobile electric warming blanket.

However, be sure to read customer reviews. Make sure you do not leave blanket on while the car is not running, because it will drain your battery.

Buy here on Amazon
Don't look forward to those trips to the doctor, grocery store, scenic drives, holiday shopping and other outings on a chilly day?

No longer a problem with the aid of this Cozy Car 2 Heated Blanket.

If you tend to get cold easily or the heat in the car is not quite enough, this blanket offers warmth before you even plug it in! It has 2 layers of super-soft polyester fleece that capture and hold your body heat. But what if you do need more heat? Connect the adaptor to a 12 volt lighter outlet in your car, boat, camper or RV. The blanket will heat fully in about 10 minutes, and is designed so the warmth is distributed evenly with no 'cold spots'.

What if you want to use the blanket in the back of the car? If you don't have a 12V lighter outlet in the back, the 6' 3" power cord is generally long enough to use the blanket in the back seat. At about 4' 6" wide, the blanket is big enough to be shared, perfect for use on bench seats! When you like it toasty warm but others like a cooler ride, keep everyone happy with this 12V electric blanket for the car.

    I used to use an electric blanket on my bed, but it quit working.
    My sister gave me an electric pad, and I love it. :)

    In the winter, I can't sleep without an electric blanket.

    I used to use one when I was young, because the house was so cold. With central heating now though and also duvets instead of blankets, I never get that cold.

    Coming from Ohio, I found it necessary to carry an electric warming blanket ... once I got to Florida, I didn't think I'd need it ... but I was wrong. I bought another last year whilst staying in a fifth wheel during winter in Brooksville, FL.
