slo’s TUESDAY 1/10 poll - Electric Blanket

[slo]

Do you have an electric blanket?
If yes, how often do you use it?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I do not - it would make me way to hot.
My DH has one and he loves it and uses it every night Jan - April.
We have a king size bed, so I bought him a twin size blanket so it’s on his side only.

 

[mamamary]

I don’t and have never had one. I don’t like to be hot when I sleep. Now when we watch tv at night in our family room I would think it may be nice. I’d probably worry about fire or something knowing my personality lol

 

[mrodgers]

Skivvies, under a light blanket, with a large floor fan going, and it's about 60° at it's warmest in the bedroom (wish it was a bit colder, but that's 66° out in the living room.) An electric blanket would be useless to me, LOL.

 

[BayouQueen]

I have a small throw-size one that keeps the toes warm in the winter.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have one, but it is in a closet somewhere. It really seems as if I do need to use it, would get way too hot. I used to use it a lot when I had a bed to myself.

 

[Kitty 34]

I don't have an electric blanket but I do sleep with several regular blankets and a quilt in the winter. I love a cold bedroom but to be very warm under blankets.

 

[CynBeth]

We have never had one. Like mamamary I would probably worry about fire as well.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

The kids gave me a heated throw blanket for Christmas. I’m usually cold in our living room during the winter, so that was a very thoughtful gift. I haven’t used it yet, but will soon. We used to have a heated mattress pad on our bed, which had dual controls. That was nice!

Used one years ago - became a yard sale item at some point

 

[Skywalker3]

We own one, but I have never used it on the bed, or at night...not sure I've ever used it. ha!. However, I find myself cold during the day in my little work at home nook, and I'm thinking I might try it out there, during the day, draped over legs.

 

[Meriweather]

Used one many years ago.....but don't have one.
In the winter I use a weighted blanket

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I should get one as I’m always cold and go to bed like I’m going into the Arctic tundra - knowing my luck my dog would discover it and hog it all for himself as all that fur isn’t enough to keep him warm !!

 

[nene0182]

I don’t anymore. I’ve had a few over the years but I must pick duds because they all have died pretty quickly. Now I just layer on the regular blankets

 

[fly girl]

I have one, but I can’t recall the last time it was used. It just sits in the linen closet.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I don't have an electric blanket for the bed, but I do have a small electric throw blanket that I'll use occasionally when reading or napping.

My new toy is a heated mattress pad. I bought one a couple months ago and love it. It is really nice to get into a warm bed in the winter.

 

[nw6675]

Also, I always have the fear of combustion...kind of being serious.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I've never bought one. The idea just scares me a little.

 

[design_mom]

We don’t have an electric blanket but we do have a heated mattress pad. It has two temperature zones. I turn mine on 4 while I’m getting ready for bed, then turn it off when I actually go to bed. It takes the chill out of the sheets. DH sleeps with his on 8 or 9 all night!

 

[AppleDumpling]

I’ve never had one. Honestly, I didn’t think they still made them. We keep the temp low at night. I use a down comforter in the winter.

 

[fla4fun]

My grandmother had one when we lived in Ohio, but she didn’t bring it when the family moved to Florida. I usually just need a sheet and a regular blanket on the very coldest nights.
