Anybody have them? Like them?
Two nights ago, my electric blanket burned the insides of my knees pretty bad and now they're blistering up (GROSS).
Still used my EB last night though. Too cold in my room not to use it.
What do you guys think of them?

Did you put a sheet between the blanket and your body?
I don't use EB's often. I usually prefer to just turn up the thermostat if it is too cold in the house.
-
No way. Cannot sleep when I'm sweating my balls off.
-
I like them but Gooch won't let me have one. :shakesfist:
Which is made worse by the fact that he keeps the thermostat at "freezing".
-
I keep the Heat/AC at shorts/tshirt temperature 365 days a year.

Maybe that's just an elaborate setup for giving you your own Team Jacob blanket for Christmas.
-
turn it on 15 minutes before you get to bed and turn it off when you get into bed. Problem solved.

too scared i might burn the house down.

turn on your furnace.

move to the sun

Seems like you need to show him who wears the shoes in the family.

My room is about 70% windows and it gets really cold at night in the Winter. I'm talking like 50-55 degreesish cold.
"Turn up the thermostat"
Great idea, but I thought of that already and it doesn't work in my room.
I'm using a pretty good combination of electric blanket and space heater. Aside from the burns, it's been great.

That's ridiculous. I'm Team Edward.

When I think of an electric blanket I think of old people with poor circulation.

The sun is cold in the winter, dipshit.

yeah, in winter there is nothing better w/ really warm blankets in a cold room. The high thermostat ruins this experience.
-
on cold nights i grab extra blankies and attempt to open the window in the bedroom. :love:
but this makes my wife. :angry:
so now sometimes i open the window after she falls asleep. ;)
then in the morning the wife is all :nono::shakesfist: and i'm all :peek:
-
Had an EB growing up. Loved it. Always did the pre-bedtime warm-up thing (had no heat in the upstairs). Then Readers Digest ran an article saying they might cause cancer, so my mom took away the controller thing. EB's that aren't plugged in really suck.

not giving crap about gas/electric bills and blasting heat > obi-won kenobi snuggies > lots of blankets > plug-in electric death fire-hazard blankets

Dear God, are you homeless? I am sure we could set up some sort of collection thingy or something.

Mrs Gooch definitely wears the shoes in the family.

Dlew's room is basically the outdoors-ish lawn/plant section of a Wal-Mart. 'grats, hogs.

dlew-
get a second electric blanket and put it under the fitted sheet that you sleep on top of and continue to sleep under the other one. your mind will be blown.

Pretty great description. Except without the plants.
Just as many ants though, probably.
-
Get a down comforter. Are fantastic.
Either that, or enjoy your eventual house fire.
-
Oh man I love sweating all night then taking a shower in the morning, only to have the water really hurt the fresh round of blisters on my legs. That said, I'm too afraid my house will burn down, so I don't use an electric blanket.
-
i didn't read any of this thread, but i keep my house at 68 degrees 24/7/365.
-
electric mattress pad > electric blanket
-
Mom wants me to go to the ER. Something about "burns being easy to get infected." :blah:
FWIW, probably 2nd degree.

This. Go get an electric mattress pad.

They have to wake up smelling like a gym sock. 60-65 degrees is ideal for sleeping.

60-65 is great. I agree.
55 is just absurd though. Hence, the EB.

all the talk about dlew's 55 degree apartment resembling wal-mart's outdoor section and/or him being homeless made me picture him living in charlie's squalid apartment on it's always sunny. we'll know for sure when he starts posting a 'clams cooking thread about how to best prepare filet mignon on a hot pad.

Maybe get a space heater and point it at your bed?
-
I do.

You're going to need to elevate that so it points at you, otherwise it won't do much good.
-
another alternative to the electric blanket is putting a hot water bottle under your covers before you get into bed. Can be really good for warming your feet, but obviously not as much surface area warmed.
-
well, now that we know a space heater is involved next to the electric blanket, the ball game has changed...
so like, can we set some kind of limit on how long between posts is long enough to send out a search party? 24 hrs, 48 hrs. ???

My parents claim they used to heat bricks in this big ass iron oven thing that is still sitting outside in their yard (I think they think it's decoration or something). Anyway, they'd supposedly put the hot bricks at the foot of the bed in the winter to keep their feet warm. Maybe you can try that (but it may just be a weird euphemism for sex)? :dunno:

I don't see how this could possibly work. I wish it were true, but I just don't see how it could be.

As a sex euphemism or a foot-warming device? The latter seems tricky (or at least kinky). The former seems pretty obvious.

Sleeping in the cold with warm blankies is nice, but getting up is a pain in the ass.

LOL at the rube that put backsplash tile on his floor. :nono:

Got one for Christmas, king size, dual controls, pretty much amazing. I have always been skeptical of them but when I woke up comfy and cozy this morning I was sold.

My burn is infected. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

If you need an electric blanket and you are under 74 years old you should probably see a doctor to have your circulation checked out

Yeah, you should definitely be taking photos of the infection.

space heaters are the definition of energy INefficient.

My basement is always too cold, have to turn on a space heater down there but it always trips the circuit breaker or whatnot after awhile.

Probably just going to call Sunbeam and tell them what happened and that maybe they should put burn warnings on some of their products.

I would expect them to get very defensive and say that they don't even believe you. By the time you get off the phone with them, you will probably be ready to sue.

Just catching up on some BBS'ing after break and this thread really caught my eye. A lot of :surprised: and :facepalm: and :lol:.
Totally echo the sentiments of sleeping better when it's cold...but what kind of shitty bridge do you live under that you can't keep it above 55 degrees? I don't know a single person under 75 years old that owns an electric blanket. :dunno:

Shitty college house. Live in a room that I'm sure used to be some kind of sun room or whatever.
Tons of windows. Two huge skylights. Awful insulation. Was prescribed antibiotics for the infected burn.

How can someone who sleeps in such a cold environment come up with such a perfect prediction for a football season? :sdeek:
-
It wasn't cold when I made the prediction, idiot.

I bet that room gets damn hot in August and the predictions came to Dlew like an ancient indian soothsayer
