Has any one started using their electric blanket yet this year

Hi all

I have changed the bed today and am in a dilema if to put the electric underblanket on? we got it last year (april) and used it for a few weeks and never had one before. i just wondered before i put it on if its cold enough? Its fleece type material that "hugs" the mattress and was very warm even without the heat on.

Any thought from you great people? :j

Blimey yes - though I don't think mine's particularly warm when not switched on!

But it has been on a few times, just sometimes to warm up before getting in to bed then switching off!!

Thanks for your quick replies, that settles it then when the OH get in he can help me put it on as he moans its too hot when I put it on even though it has dual controls, be nice and warm tonight then as its really cold, wet and wintery here at the moment!

I turn it off when I go to sleep but do any of you guys leave it on low? i was worried about how much it would cost to have it "ticking over"

Once again thanks for you replies guys on this brill site:j

I put mine back on the bed a month ago but have only needed to use it a couple of times.... ours has dual controls and hubby had his on much more than mine... I switch it off as soon as I get into bed once its warmed up it stays that way all night I could never see the need to leave it on all night to be honest.
