I've always been pretty wary of the idea of Electric Blankets - I seem to remember as a child hearing about fires caused by them, and I think that stayed in my mind. However, when my parents purchased one last year, they went on and on about how good it was, and a couple of months ago, my dad decided to buy me one as I was suffering from a ...  Read the complete review

Badly designed Dreamland electric underblanket (120 words)

Just bought a Dreamland (Imetec) soft fleece heated fitted mattress cover Model PD1A for a single bed for my mother. There is a small matchbox-sized plastic junction box right in the middle of its underside. Despite the fleece topping it is like sleeping on a golfball, even when a £70 foam mattress topper was fitted over it. It does not matter ...  Read the complete review

Electric Blankets: Kingsize..but is it? (83 words)

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 short from ...  Read the complete review

I’ve always tended to sleep very cold, so last year I finally decided to treat myself to an electric blanket. I wish I’d bought one earlier - it’s fantastic. After researching the relative merits of several different blankets, I settled for the Dreamland "Ready For Bed" underblanket (double) - £49.99 from Argos last year. ...  Read the complete review

Electric Blankets: A relief from muscle ache (159 words)

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 Argos (in the ...  Read the complete review

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 blanket must be ...  Read the complete review

Electric Blankets: Muscle Spasms - Chronic Pain in Legs - Simple Solution (169 words)

Rating:

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 electric ...  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, sorry. We ...  Read the complete review

To save the reader from having to plough all the way through to the end to get to this update, I’ve put it at the beginning. Re the comment about duvets in paragraph 4. During a recent foray in some of our local electrical superstores I noticed that you could now buy an electric duvet for around £80, which I assume, is for a single ...  Read the complete review
