Buying Guide
FAQs
What should I look for when buying an electric blanket?
Consider the blanket’s size to ensure it fits your bed, and check for adjustable heat settings for personalized comfort. Look for safety features like automatic shut-off and overheat protection to prevent accidents. Material is also important—choose soft, machine-washable fabrics for convenience and comfort.
How do electric blankets compare to heated mattress pads?
Electric blankets provide warmth from above, while heated mattress pads heat from below, which some find more cozy. Blankets are portable and easier to use on couches or chairs, whereas pads are fixed to the bed. Both offer similar energy savings, but pads may retain heat better throughout the night.
What are the key features to prioritize?
Multiple heat settings allow you to customize warmth, while dual controls are ideal for couples with different preferences. Timer functions and auto-shutoff enhance safety and energy efficiency. Additionally, machine-washable designs and detachable cords simplify maintenance.
Are electric blankets energy-efficient?
Yes, electric blankets use less energy than central heating, as they warm only your immediate space. Most models consume minimal power, costing just a few cents per night to operate. Look for low-wattage options to maximize energy savings without sacrificing comfort.
How do I choose between different materials?
Fleece blankets are lightweight and warm, while microplush offers extra softness and durability. Cotton blends are breathable and hypoallergenic, making them great for sensitive skin. Consider your climate and personal comfort preferences when selecting a material.
What safety features should I check for?
Ensure the blanket has UL certification for safety standards and an automatic shut-off feature to prevent overheating. Some models include timers or low-voltage technology for added peace of mind. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to maintain safety.
How do I determine the right size for my bed?
Measure your mattress dimensions and compare them to the blanket’s size chart to ensure full coverage. Oversized blankets may drape better over the sides, while smaller ones might leave cold spots. Consider whether you want the blanket for personal use or to share with a partner.
What’s the difference between budget and premium electric blankets?
Budget models typically offer basic heat settings and fewer safety features, while premium options include dual controls, timers, and advanced materials. Premium blankets often have longer warranties and better durability. If you plan to use the blanket frequently, investing in a higher-quality model may be worth it.
Can I use an electric blanket with a memory foam mattress?
Yes, but avoid placing the blanket directly under memory foam, as excessive heat can damage the material. Instead, use the blanket on top of your bedding or choose a low-heat setting. Always check the mattress manufacturer’s guidelines for compatibility.
