You'd be surprised at the advances in Electric Blanket technology. My mother actually bought one earlier this week and I was surprised at how much better they are now.
It automatically adjusts it's heat settings to maintain a constant body temperature and to remove the chance of burns, is waterproof and has extra layers of underlay to prevent the mattresses from damage (and in the extreme cases, fire)
- Tichy 16y agoStill, I remain skeptic of the concept. I think it is not even very good to have too much warmth while sleeping? If the blanket is waterproof, what about sweat - can it evaporate? And what about the body regulating it's own temperature? It seems better equipped for that than an external device. Also the thought of sleeping with electrical wires leading into my bed makes me uneasy. To be honest I haven't really considered the pros and cons, though. I am biased. If it is too cold for going to bed, how about a hot-water bad or cherry pit pillow?
