OMG you can get heated duvets, why did nobody tel me!!!

Argos has [http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4500214/Trail/searchtext%3EELECTRIC+BLANKET.htm this one] half price.

I have a superking fitted electric blanket - it's fab and has extra heat for your feet. Ill see if I can find it.

dd has had one on her bed for years Yorkie ( since she was dry); an underblanket that we switch off when she gets in.

this one

we had one in the house we used to rent, it had no realy heating and was freezing, I had the blanket on a plug in timer so it came on about an hour before we went to bed - bliss!
Still have it, but not sure if it will still be safe 15 years later?

It's this one. You can leave it on a gentle heat while you go to sleep and it switches itself off after 2 or 4 hours. It also has dual controls.

Kerrymum, I really don't see how an electric blanket can cause cancer. You may as well say that a bedside light causes it as well, or an LED alarm clock. It's electricity, not radiation. I'm more worried about the fire risk (although I would love one - an electric blanket, not a fire)

Only if you sleep with it on (which we don't). If you have no central heating and electric blanket (on for an hour before you go to bed) is a godsend. I'm more worried about the transformer outside our house when it comes to e/m fields tbh.

Sexonlegs - sorry, poorly dd today so only just seen your message. We got a Slumberland one from Argos (was a few years ago).
