Electric blankets were pretty awesome for this circumstance. Incredibly cheap to operate, extremely effective.
(I always had trouble washing them properly though)
- tzs 6y agoElectric blankets used to be awesome. The ones nowadays don't seem as strong as the ones I remember from 40 years or so ago. I think they got nerfed.

- bserge 6y agoI remember having one... It had no ground wire... Thinking about it now, I'm really surprised I never got electrocuted or that it didn't catch on fire, it was really flimsy.
- kyteland 6y agoElectric blankets aren't intended to be used while you are in the bed. Your own body heat can keep the bed warm and they're dangerous to run while sleeping. Their intended purpose is to warm the bed before your own body is in there to do the work. It avoids the first few minutes of sheet shock when jumping into a cold bed before your body heat catches up to the task.
- DanBC 6y agoThere are different types of electric blanket. eg this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richards-Washable-Underblanket-Electric-dp-B01M5FTUJ0/dp/B01M5FTUJ0/ref=dp_ob_title_kitchen https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richards-Washable-Underblank... All night use NOTE: Blankets are perfectly safe to be used all night. However we recommend using the heat setting below. •Move the heat setting on the control switch to heat level 1or 2. These settings will provide safe and comfortable heat to sleep on all night. These settings can be used to air the bed. WARNING: Always ensure that the slider switch is moved to the OFF position when you get up the next day, or after airing the bed.
