Tesco Value EB06 Electric Blanket

Advantages: Great value for money,really warm,really comfy
Disadvantages: There are none!!

...I finally invested in an Electric Blanket this winter,after getting sick and tired of hot water bottles and their lack of warmth. When I stay over at my mums house,I have a DREAMLAND electric blanket,which is absolutely lovely,but I know that for a single,its a whole 40.00p and I dreaded to think how much a double would be! Anyway,when shopping with my Dad at Asda,he picked up a double SilentNight Comfort Control Electric Blanket for 15.00p. I didnt buy one myself,not because I doubted SilentNights quality,but because I doubted that for that price that it would warm up sufficiently and warm up in a quick enough time. However I was extremely wrong and due to my pickiness,my Dad spent a night in a toasty bed and I spent one back with my old friend, 'The Hot Water Bottle'! I didnt go back to Asda,till about a month ago,the reason being... Read review

Advantages: Keeps you warm on cold nights
Disadvantages: None

...To save the reader from having to plough all the way through to the end to get to this update, I’ve put it at the beginning. Re the comment about duvets in paragraph 4. During a recent foray in some of our local electrical superstores I noticed that you could now buy an electric duvet for around £80, which I assume, is for a single bed. Also that normal over blankets can be placed inside a duvet. It says so on the boxes. Rather than piling more and more blankets onto a bed in the wintertime maybe people should consider the electric blanket as an alternative. Some people opt for the under blanket but I found the element uncomfortable to lie on so my choice is the over blanket, but it's each to their own.

...I've always tended to sleep very cold, so last year I finally decided to treat myself to an electric blanket. I wish I'd bought one earlier - it's fantastic. After researching the relative merits of several different blankets, I settled for the Dreamland "Ready For Bed" underblanket (double) - £49.99 from Argos last year. The key difference between this and others was that it has an ultra-fast 10 minute warm up. I've slept in beds with electric blankets before when staying with friends and have never remembered to go and turn it on before going to bed. Their blankets have always taken about 30 minutes to warm up so I lie there shivering until it reaches a cosy temperature. Not so with my blanket! I only turn it on when I go up to bed and, by the time I've brushed my teeth and got myself ready, it is as warm as toast! Fantastic... Read review
