Electric Blankets

Teledude · 2 Mar 2010 at 14:50

Just took delivery of my new Super King Size Bed

However - getting an electric blanket to fit is £100+

Would I have any problems buying 2 singles for each side bearing in mind most say they need to be tied down and of course wouldn't be able on one side :confused:

Or do I bite the bullet and stop being so cheap?!

If you can afford the bed you can afford the blanket so stop being cheap.

I have a king size and have a £15 one from argos, doesn't cover the whole thing but i've stretched it across the bottom where my feet go. I only ever put it on before I actually get in to bed as it heats the whole thing up plus otherwise I wake up pretty ill

The bed plus duvet+covers+pillows etc has cost me £400 so far I would rather spend £15 on two single heaters then £100 on a massive one

My parents had one years ago, something went wrong and it set the bed on fire followed by the house.

Are you like 80 or something? Why would you waste money on an electric blanket? :confused:

I got one designed for a baby, I can't see it being dangerous. And because getting warm under the quilt requires getting into a cold bed first, whereas I can get into an already roasting bed

My friends were confused too, until they tried my bed... Now they have one

Get that Dutch oven stoked. Bed will be warm in no time!

Get yourself two fat women they can take turns at keeping you warm.

Sinny · 2 Mar 2010 at 16:06

I wouldn't buy one.

but, are they transformed to a lower voltage or run at 230v?

I didn't even know people still used these.

Vesta_Man · 2 Mar 2010 at 16:58

I thought it was only OAP's that used electric blankets :confused:

Surely you just need a better duvet and to man up a bit

One hundred pounds isn't going to keep a hooker around for long.
