I don't like electric blankets. Sian loves to get into a roasting bed but I find I'm too hot after a couple of minutes without it, even in the winter. We have an electric blanket that can be controlled separately on each side and mine never gets turned on.
Do you not have adjustable ones? I love getting into a warm bed too, but once I'm I. I'll switch the blanket from 'preheat' to 'overnight' mode, on about 6 or so (out of 10) and that keeps it a comfortable temperature.
I think it has a timer, or switches for certain lengths of time. Still too hot without it, I'd be boiling if it was on overnight. Sian would probably love it on through the night though.
I much prefer getting into a cool bed. I tend to find that my own body heat and farts then maintain a decent temperature in the bed.
My wife was always one for using electric blankets, and we had a double one with individual settings at one point. Mine never got used and I found the stupid thing uncomfortable and it slid around all over the place.
There was always the slight worry of what would happen if I pissed myself as well. Not that that's a regular occurrence or anything.
I seem to act as the bed radiator. I couldn't be dealing with an electric blanket. Whilst I don't like getting into a cold bed I warm the bed up really quickly.
We've only had it on the bed for 2 nights and already it's been annoying me. I might see if the cables are long enough to reach the bottom of the bed or chop the thing off my side. Or maybe I.could asleep in the back room foe the.winter. more room, less snoring and a comfortable temperature.
