Is there anything in the world cozier than snuggling down into a soft, warm, and comfortable bed?
No. No, there is not.
Enter the modern electric blanket, a heated blanket designed not only for warmth but for ultimate comfort and strict safety. This is not your grandma’s electric blanket. (Even though we have fond memories of her’s!)
New heated blankets use thin wires for a more comfortable night’s rest and also employ technology that auto-adjust the blanket’s heat throughout the night, to deliver a consistent level of toastiness. They’re also energy saving, both in the sense that they consume little electricity and that they allow you to turn down your thermostat (on average: 10-15%). What’s more, they all use auto-shutoff, usually in the range of 3-10 hours, so it’s impossible to cause an accidental fire from leaving your blanket on all day and night.
Go ahead, snuggle up under this super soft, microplush Sherpa heated blanked from Biddeford. Available in twin, full, queen and king size, this 100% polyester, 100% comfy electric blanket features 10 personal heat settings – via single controls on the twin and full-sized blankets, and dual controls on the queen and king-sized – so you can be sure you achieve just the right level of toasty.
Key Features:
- Automatic shut-off after 10 hours
