Electric Warming Blankets

I don't know about you, but I don't like climbing into a cold bed in the middle of winter. Electric warming blankets have been a solution for me.

Back when I was a child I remember visiting my grandparents house in upstate New York. There weren't any electric heated rooms, but only a grate in the floor of their upstairs bedroom that allowed a bit of heat to come up from the potbelly stove. We would literally run to the rest room or guest bedrooms which had no heat, and quickly slip back under the piles of covers.

When I got married I ask my husband to promise me that I wouldn't be cold in our house. Even though the heat may not always be just right, I have always been blessed with wonderful electric heated blankets. There are many companies that make electric blankets, but I have only selected those in which their products are trustworthy. Take a look at these fine electric heated warming blankets.

When I was doing my research my husband just joked around and asked me if there was an electric sleeping bag. So I did a search and to my surprise there was one. This would have come in handy in my camping days. I have not been able to use this item, but felt it could be useful to someone, so I included it in my review.

I know that I have used blankets when they weren't as safe as they should have been. The blanket I had was soft and comfortable, and I didn't want to part with it. Finally, I realized my health was more important, and bought a new electric heated warming blanket. Listen to what experts have to say about the blankets we just have to have.

Soft Heat Blankets are considered to be the World's Safest Heated Blankets on the market today. The Wall Street Journal reported that Soft Heat Products were a Best Value in January, 2006 and they keep improving their product. That's something we like to hear. The Safe-n-Warm technology converts 120 volts AC into less than 14 - 18 volts DC. I don't really understand what that means, except that iit is good and safe for my entire family. They are the first and only Heated Blanket in the US to be UL Listed as safe using less than 25 volts of electricity.

The Safe-n-Warm System along with the Ultra Soft Micro Wires, provide even warmth throughout the blanket without any Cold or Hot Spots. This is something that I really like, because I have had less expensive electric heated warming blankets that are really hot in one spot, while leaving other parts of the blanket ice cold.

Soft Heat Blankets are made of Ultra Plush and Lightweight Polyester and Micro Wires, which means that the Micro Wires are woven throughout the blanket to provide even heating. They are so thin that they are virtually undetectable. The blankets can even be cleaned in a washing machine and tumbled dry without any loss of shape or shrinkage. That is something else that I've experienced. You couldn't wash them or put them in the dryer without harming the elements, and this blanket comes with five year warranty to boot. Pretty good.

Look below for more details and ordering.

Another feature I like with the blanket is that Soft Heating Warming Blankets come in all sizes and colors. That means I can use them in any room or with any décor. Other features include: Exclusive low voltage technology for overall even warmth. It has an auto pre-heat setting I like so I can warm it up before I get into bed, plus it has a ten hour automatic shut-off for safety.

No harmful electromagnetic radiation. The controller cord and power cord lengths are 6ft each, and the connector cord is approximately 10ft. It is not recommended for use with an electric adjustable bed, water bed or blowup air beds (but Sleep Number beds are OK).

I have used Sunbeam Electric Heated Blankets for years, and would recommend them based on my own experience.These warming blankets are so handy and can be used just about anywhere. They are perfect for trips. I bring one with me when we travel and use it in the hotel. They are also perfect to use during seasonal changes when you need the air conditioning in the day, but it's a little chilly at night.

Having a single person warming blanket is something I wouldn't be without. I use mine on my bed and at times sitting in the living room while watching television.

The thing I like about it most is using it for traveling. I simply slip it into my suitcase with the wires tucked inside and it's ready for wherever I want to use it. Hotel rooms can be cold at times. I lay my electric blanket out on the bed, plug it into any outlet and you have a warm cozy bed just like home.

Read a book, talk on the phone, watch tv or work on your computer and stay warm. These blankets are specifically made for you to enjoy on the sofa or just relaxing in your easy chair.

I love these products. One of the biggest problems in traveling is that I need to have the heat up, and my husband likes it cool. So we crank the heat up and he rolls down his window. Not a good solution. That is until we discovered the automobile electric warming blanket.

However, be sure to read customer reviews. Make sure you do not leave blanket on while the car is not running, because it will drain your battery.

I don't know about you, but the temperature in the car never seems to be perfect. What I mean is this. If I'm cold hubby is always warmer than I am. The problem is that if he has to turn up the heat for me, he also has to roll down the window for him. Ugh! What a combination.

Having a blanket that has a duel control setting just like you would at home is perfect. If we ever needed both settings, we would have them. This handy electric blanket saves me packing extra coats and linens, because it serves my need. No more car wars over heating!

Don't look forward to those trips to the doctor, grocery store, scenic drives, holiday shopping and other outings on a chilly day?

No longer a problem with the aid of this Cozy Car 2 Heated Blanket.

If you tend to get cold easily or the heat in the car is not quite enough, this blanket offers warmth before you even plug it in! It has 2 layers of super-soft polyester fleece that capture and hold your body heat. But what if you do need more heat? Connect the adaptor to a 12 volt lighter outlet in your car, boat, camper or RV. The blanket will heat fully in about 10 minutes, and is designed so the warmth is distributed evenly with no 'cold spots'.

What if you want to use the blanket in the back of the car? If you don't have a 12V lighter outlet in the back, the 6' 3" power cord is generally long enough to use the blanket in the back seat. At about 4' 6" wide, the blanket is big enough to be shared, perfect for use on bench seats! When you like it toasty warm but others like a cooler ride, keep everyone happy with this 12V electric blanket for the car.

Do you think using an electric blanket is safe on a motorcycle?

Is your office cold in the morning? Or worse, all day long? Are you tired of having to wear your coat and gloves while you work because the room just isn't warm enough for you to take them off? Seriously, the USB Heated Shawl is your answer.

Just plug it into your USB port on your laptop or desktop computer and place it around your shoulders.You're already at the computer, you might as well stay warm. It even has a button to hold it in place around your shoulders while you work. It can also be draped over your legs to keep them warm. It is available on Amazon.

If you are like me, your hands get cold even when you're inside working. I have cut the tips off a pair of gloves and keep them nearby when I get cold. These USB mittens are made to order for people like us. You have to work, so why not work warm?

Whether its the cold weather outside or the super office air conditioner that has you freezing your knuckles off, these USB gloves will get you warmed up quickly. Then just think, you'll be in top geek fashion and your fingers won't be left out in the cold!

A word of gratitude to my friends Panterart, tipi, cffutah, BuckHawk.
