The heated blanket has been around for decades now. With a large selection of them available on the market at some very attractive prices, it's hard not to balk at the opportunity to buy one, especially if you get cold at night.
The following discussion will bring forth some pros and cons about using a heated blanket, and may help you to determine whether it's right for you to get one. Let's look at the pros to begin with.
First of all, there's the very obvious fact that this keeps you warm at night. Not only does it keep you warm, though, but it helps you to save money on the heating bill. Many owners of electric blankets simply turn their heat down at night when their electric blankets are in use.
There's also the added benefit that comes with dual control electric blankets. These blankets have two sets of heat controllers, allowing couples who share a bed to set their halves of the blanket to their own respective temperatures. If you share a bed with someone who you quarrel with over room temperature, this is an adequate solution to the issue.
Many people also enjoy the timer settings that now come with heated blankets. Too many people forget to turn their blankets off when they leave for the day, but built in timers easily resolve the issue now.
Let's take a look at the negatives now. First of all, many electric blankets seem to malfunction over time. They'll suddenly stop heating themselves up efficiently, and such a situation could leave you needing another one before long.
Another issue is the safety concerns that still exist with electric blankets. You'll want nothing on your bed with you sleep with them, as there's the remote but real risk of a fire if anything is pressed up against the blanket for too long.
As you can see, there are pros and cons to using an electric blanket. At the end of the day, though, they have a true purpose that makes many users happy.
