What are Electric Blankets

• Electric blankets are just like normal blanket with an integrated grid of thin, insulated heating element underneath to generate heat internally and use adjustable thermostats to control temperature.

• Electric blankets come in two types: Under-blankets are used by putting them under the bed-sheet. Over-blankets which like normal blankets or quilts, are taken over the body like normal blankets.

• Electric blankets need very little electricity and are thus very economical to run. Average electric consumption for a single bed sized electric blanket is 40-60 Watt.
