    All night electric underblanket. You will never look back.

    A light duvet will suffice. Those electric underblankets are the biz.

    If you wake up in the night and feel chilly, just put on for an hour. Bliss.

    They cost buttons to run.

    Seems extremely wasteful to me and I would be afraid of electricution.

    My mum and dad have been using 1 for nearly 30 years. They are very safe to use.

    DD1 has one. I bought hers after i had checked it had a safety cut out and the cost of running it. She is always cold e.g. i will be in t shirt and she is decked up in onesie and dressing gown, the works and is still moaning she is cold. if we put the heating on just for her, the rest of us suffer and the heating bill would triple. The blanket has worked out as a fab compromise.


    we tried the over blanket/throw but although nice and toasty, just not the same impact as the underblanket.
    Don’t put it down - put it away!

    Silk duvet - as someone else has already mentioned, not cheap but very very light

    I've had a hyperextended knee for maybe more than a year but it has been worse this year. I had no idea what it was but I have guessed through reading that is what it is.
    See a doctor?

    Hungarian goose down from John Lewis. Really light and warm, the best of both worlds. Not cheap tho.

    They cost virtually nothing to run and are extremely safe.
