    I've been Money Tipped!
    I think they are amazing. Its one of the best things ever. I am a very 'cold' person and cope fine most of the day but getting into a cold bed can be miserable. I like a cold room and a toasty bed.

    I have been getting very upset that I cannot find mine, but then read the post about a double blanket and a kingsize bed, we too have gone up a bed size, so I would need a new one in anycase!

    Just going by your username, why not get the cheapest one you can lay your hands on and try it out?

    I have only ever bought cheapy ones and frankly, a warm bed is a warm bed regardless of brand! lol

    Enjoy :)

    Wouldn't be without ours! Like others have said, it goes on 30 mins before bed and is toasty warm, so goes off and stays warm until I'm fast asleep. Ours is just a Tesco own, came with dual controls, think it was about £20.

    ohh never thought of that .


    we were given a single leccy blanket so put it across the bed in the middle. its been a god send since our boiler has been broke. I think I might look out for a double in the new year sales.
    today's mood is brought to you by coffee, lack of sleep and idiots.

    Living on my memories, making new ones.
