Ref heated blankets
What is best, under or over and which is safe to leave on all night?

I've only ever had underblankets.

The ones I've had have been safe to leave on all night, although whenever I've tried (or have forgotten and fallen asleep) I generally wake up too hot in the wee small hours and have to switch it off again.

Some have a 1 hour setting so it will turn off an hour after you set it and go to sleep

Plenty of items on Amazon using 'heated throw' or 'heated suit for men/women' in your search.  I got a Dreamcatcher throw (rated at 110-120W power draw) currently about £50.   

I've trawled through a lot of them, was wondering if anyone had one they'd actually recommend personally.

As per my post - toasty warm even at the lower setting (any more than 4 out of 9 on the scale and I felt really warm, so between 2-4 was the spot spot.

Just noticed the one that I am getting is the one you have...... £39.99 form on.buy.com.... tenner less than amazon

Good spot

I ordered from here last month. They were down to £23 each, but now back up to the £32. Quality and controls are excellent.

I use hot water bottles - and a cat =^..^=   

Hot water bottles are just £3 in Asda, though the cat may cost a little more.

Im going to build on last year's experiment with a 12v heated car seat pad and have just ordered a 12v heated blanket (a bit like this).

Under blanket on the lowest setting (15w) is too warm for all night.

I like the idea of the detachable remote control.....when hubby has had it on for too long!

I've got a cozytek heated electric throw and it's brilliant. It's rated at 110-120w and on the new price rates it should be about 4p per hour to run.

I've found it only needs switching on for about half an hour and then it stays warm for ages. It's lovely and soft and big enough to wrap up in it, and can be machine washed as well. 

My cats and dogs push each other off it

The trouble with heated throws is they are expensive and only last a few months before breaking.

Electric blankets on the settee on a low setting might be a better option.
