  • Please check it is the one that is safe to use all night as these do get very uncomfortable/hot if left on as I found out to my cost one night

    I love my leccy blanket too. I have it just under the normal bed sheet and switch in on about 20 mins before going to bed. I turn it off as soon as I'm comfy warm. I have a 15tog duvet so I'm kept nice and snug all night :)

  • Hi there,

    I’ve just bought an electric underblanket but I noticed that the connector component attached to the blanket sticks up. Am I not fitting it correctly, or is this just poor design? Because when I lie on top of it I can feel it with my arm.

    I feel like I want to return it and find another but if all electric blankets are like this then I might not bother.

    Your comments would be much appreciated.
