Do you use an electric blanket?

[Blondie]

I've been wanting one for years, but since the dog sleeps on the bed while we're in it, I guess I can't have one. I was always told that you shouldn't lay on the blanket that it could break the wires.

 

[grinningghost]

No, I've never even tried one. I don't think my cat would be able to resist it, so I better not get one.

 

[CamColt]

Absolutely! In fact this past week, I have had to fight my kids for it. Nothing is worse than getting into a freezing cold bed at night.

 

[Tinks]

No, but I go to bed every night with a hot water bottle. It does the trick for me...keeps me warm for hours and I'm long asleep before it's cold!

This is interesting. I grew up with electric blankets.... now I sleep with two down comforts. I have thought about getting a electric blanket but I am not sure why. I think I may get on for lounging around it though!!!

 

[Micca]

No electric blanket for me. I just sleep with lots of sweats on. And I have a very hot wife. I mean that in every possible way

 

[EltonJohn]

Since my dorm room is freezing yes I do have an electric blanket and I do use it often!

 

[clh2]

We have an electric mattress pad - I LOVE IT!!

 

[MerryPoppins]

Nope. I'm scared of them and my DH is like having a private stove under the covers with me.

 

[Pooh67_68]

No, when I am cold I just snuggle close to my DH he has a built in heater. Trouble is I am rarely cold.

we have a sunbeam one thermostatic one..it adjusts itself according to the temperature..so if you are in bed and have it set on high..and it's getting too warm..it shuts itself down till the temp cools off again..with the weather this week..we couldn't live without it!

 

[Judy from Boise]

yes, and the newer models don't even have wires....they have flat tapes.

 

[Fire14]

yes it's my savor in this cold stuff.

 

[stamper]

NO WAY....when I was a teenager, my parents had one that caught on fire(bad wiring I guess)...thankfully there were a few blankets on top of it or it it would have burst into flames!! The only damage done was it smoldered some and made burn holes in all blankets but the top one....my Mom woke up just in time!!!

 

[msdznyduck]

No, but I always wanted one. I used to always be cold. But have DH instead......he is my heater. Except now I don't need one, since my internal heater is all out of wack now that I am getting old......lol

 

[Kallison]

No but I use a heating pad sometimes to warm up my side of the bed. Usually I put my lab on the bed about an hour before I'm ready, he gets it nice and toasty.

 

[Diane]

I've used one for as long as I can remember. I even have a spare, in case mine stops working.

 

[Jenn Lynn]

No, I don't trust them.

 

[Mishetta]

I'm afraid of electric blankets too but my DH is like a furnace! I only need about 5 minutes glued to him & I'm throwing the covers off! (Please keep your minds out of the gutter! )
