Learn safety with your Electric Blanket
For some of us an electric blanket is a part of our modern day survival kit. We couldn’t manage without one and how did we or our parents ever manage those cold beds without an electric blanket or heated mattress warmer? In the very olden days they would have one of the servants hop in to warm it up while the master or mistress was made ready for bed by the other servants. Poorer people might take a pet to bed for warmth, hence the origins of the term “cold as a three dog night”. But for over fifty years now electric blankets have been available and for the last fifteen or twenty, very affordable for most people. Some people leave them on all night, others just have them warm the bed before going to sleep then turn it down or switch it off entirely. Upscale units come with dual controls, thermostats and timers to take care of these things for you. When it gets warm enough it switches off. If it cools down too much it comes back on again. Lovely. Of course these units cost more and while some parents will buy one for their bed, the kids end up with their old blanket, which might have seen considerable wear and tear over the years.
