Well the clocks have gone back and winters drawing in, nearly time for the ol cap'n to get out the winter duvet. Only this year I thought I might treat myself to a electric blanket, any suggestions on make model type?
We are after all a community that spends a fair amount of time in bed, even if it isn't always sleeping;-) |

I've always bought cheap ones, from Argos, they've never burst into flames yet.
You're not supposed to get them wet if they're on, might be a good idea to consider that.  |

My friend told me that John Lewis sell electric duvets - rather than blankets. She's getting one, and I'm going to follow suit. I'd never heard of an electric duvet before but need one in my life for the winter |

"I have a silentnight one and its washable too.

Yeah I had one of theirs, it was dual control so I could have one side warm and the other cold. I lent it to a friend when she moved back to her Mums cold house and never got it back.  |

"I think i must be weird....i don't like getting into a warm bed. I love the coldness of the sheets  "
Me too. I always spray fabreeze before I get in bed as it makes it not only smell good but makes it nice and cold |

Never knew you could still get them. Remember everyone in the family had them, when I was young. Not heard anyone mention having one for years. Surprised one of my ex girlfriends doesn't hsve one. I'm guessing she will have thre duvets on the bed by now. Lol

Haven't used one for ages
I brought my mum an electric heated throw from Argos. I thought ideal when she's in the lounge watching TV and can use it in the bedroom too |

Electric blankets are great, we have had them for years. We get dual controlled ones as Cho Cho likes it warmer than I do.
You can buy ones that are like mattress toppers, you cant feel the wires at all. |

What a pair of weirdos
I hate cold beds, and keep my electric blanket on all night if I'm alone. |
