I always thought electric blankets to be a British affectation, something associated with underheated and damp houses, lack of central heating (or the habit of having it on for ridiculously short periods in the morning and evening) and possibly old age too. Well, now I am fast approaching old age, and having spent the last few ... Read the complete review

I was aways skeptical about electric blankets as growing up I had heard of many horror stories of them overheating and setting on fire. However due to the coldness of the current winter, and a recommendation from a friend I decided to give in and buy one. The blanket I bought was a Morphy Richards item for a double bed. It ...

In the last year the cold spells such as the snow and wild weather in regards to the high winds which make us all cold at night have made me appreciate the electric blanket I was given. I got mine in February this year and I found that although I never thought it would do me any good I have found the item to be a huge luxury and a great ... Read the complete review

I wanted a blanket that would heat up the bed rapidly as I clean my teeth before retiring. This blanket does the job excellently. However I have found that IMETEC (the manufacturers) are a little mean with the wire coverage. Despite buying the kingsize blanket, the actual wire coverage that does the heating is several generous inches ... Read the complete review

I've just bought a heat pad. Generally aimed at the older person for relief from their musecle ache, my physio recommended I bought one. I suffered from a mild whiplash a few months back, and my shoulder has been intermittently aching since - heat seems to ease it. I bought the Winterwarm heat pad for 16 pounds from ...

On a recent trip to Tesco's, I saw a Winterwarm double electric blanket on sale for £19.99. As we have only recently moved house and our central heating has not yet been fitted, I thought that at least I would be warm at night. I would have been better off with a hot water bottle and a pair of bedsocks. To feel any heat,the ... Read the complete review

Most of my childhood nights were spent in agony. A pain would start up in one or both legs which would keep me up for most of the night. No one knew what it was. Nothing really helped. I was fairly active, and when not incapacitated, did passably well at sprinting and the long jump. One day, my mother discovered ... Read the complete review

I needed to replace my Morphy Richards electric underblanket which has done me proud for five years. I thought I just had to go into a department store and buy one. Off I went, clutching my money, but I was destined for disappointment. I tried the electrical departments in three large department stores. 'No, madam, ... Read the complete review
