Buying Guide
FAQs
What safety certifications should I look for in a Japanese electric blanket?
Ensure the blanket has a PSE mark, which is a mandatory safety certification for electrical products in Japan. This indicates the product meets strict national safety standards for electrical and fire hazards.
How do Japanese electric blankets differ from Western ones?
Japanese models, known as ‘electric futons’ or ‘kotatsu heaters,’ are often designed to be placed under your body rather than over. They typically focus on direct, localized heating and may feature lower power settings and more compact sizes.
What is the difference between an ‘electric carpet’ and an ‘electric blanket’?
An ‘electric carpet’ (電気カーペット) is a heated floor mat you place your entire futon or mattress on top of for ambient warmth. An ‘electric blanket’ (電気毛布) is more like a traditional blanket, either placed over you or under your body for more direct heat.
Are machine-washable electric blankets common in Japan?
Yes, many modern Japanese electric blankets are fully machine-washable for easy hygiene. Always check the product label to confirm, and be sure to remove the power cord and control unit before washing.
What features offer the best value for the price?
Key features that add value include multiple heat settings, an automatic shut-off timer for safety and energy savings, and a washable cover. Dual controls for couples can also provide personalized comfort.
What size electric blanket is right for me?
For single sleepers, a semi-double size is usually sufficient. For couples, a double or queen size provides ample space, with some models offering dual-zone controls so each person can set their own temperature.
How much does it cost to run an electric blanket in Japan?
Electric blankets are very energy-efficient and typically cost only a few yen per hour to run, making them a cost-effective alternative to heating an entire room. Look for models with an ‘eco’ mode or low power consumption rating for maximum savings.
