Electric Blankets

Use electric blankets or a mattress pad to get away from bulky bedding You can be toasty warm at a touch of a dial, electric blankets warm up quickly no matter what the room temperature.

The right mattress pad will help even more. Most electric blankets come with a dual control in the queen and king sizes and mattress pads come in a variety of materials and thicknesses so you can adjust how warm your bed is on a seasonal basis.

When selecting electric blankets make sure they say machine wash and dry. Most mattress pads are machine washable but the thicker pads may need to be taken to a Laundromat with an industrial size washer and dryer, however don't let that keep you from the right choice as you will be amazed at the heat loss down through the mattress, I know I was.  

Stay warm the entire night with electric blankets or a mattress pad of your choice Please be aware that electric blankets are not suitable for anyone insensitive to heat, such as infants or those with poor blood circulation and some people just don't like them, so the mattress pad can really help in this situation.

Some electric blankets offer an automatic shut-off after 10 hours as a safety and conservation measure. Remember that dual control feature can be almost mandatory if the two people in bed can't agree on the same setting.
