>"Under blankets are just for warming the beds up, not for keeping on all night or for an hour."
Nope. Dreamland make an under blanket that can be set for the slightly odd times of 1, 3 or 9 hours.
Other brands include Morphy Richards and Mia & Coco.
The ones to avoid are simple pre-heating under blankets. If you get into bed and leave them on for a few minutes the cut-out operates. They're non resettable and they don't sell the control unit and power lead separately, so you've wasted your money.
