To ask about electric under blankets

[2023forme]

AIBU to ask for feedback on electric under blankets (the ones that go on the mattress) -DH and I in different camps. He wants one, I’m not convinced.

my biggest concern is where the Connector sits - DD has one and there is a bulky connector part which you couldn’t possibly lie on. She’s in a double bed on her own so she just positions it at the other side away from her.

DH thinks this is a tiny issue and “we’ll be fine”.

So those of you who have them - any words of wisdom regarding the best ones to buy/avoid?

YABU; electric blankets are fantastic and I wouldn’t be without mine
YANBU: electric blankets are a good idea but their design makes them too hard to sleep on

It is the very nicest thing in existence.

I had an electric blanket; it was one you switched off when you got in the bed, and i found them to be quite pointless, the heat seemed to dissipate as soon as you got in, giving no benefit, much prefer fluffy blankets and being warm prior to getting into bed

We put ours on upside down with the switch at the bottom by our ankles instead. Works well.
