HomefrontElectric Blanket Premium Fleece Fitted Heated Mattress Cover Underblanket 107 x 203 x 40cm with Elasticated Skirt - Fast Heat Up Time (Single Bed Size)

Just what we needed.PROS- multiple Temperature settings that range from 'just taking the chill off the bed' to 'really toasty'- possible to set different temps for foot area and body area.- it's possible to have the blanket turn itself off after a certain period of time, or stay on all night.- fits very well and easily over a deep mattress (ours is almost 12")- don't shift around at all under the sheets.- no noticeable cold area between the separately controlled sides of the bed.CONSThe cons are very minor indeed, but I will mention them anyway, in order to give a more balanced review- it took me about 30 mins to figure out how to set the controls. I admit I had flu at the time, so I may have been particularly daft. However I still think a small instruction leaflet would be useful (there is nothing provided).- it would have been useful if the controls could ' remember' the settings from the night before, but they always revert back to default, which is full heat in both body and foot zones for one hour. This means that every night I need to reset both zones and the timer on both sides of the bed. It's not the end of the world tho...All in all I would buy this blanket again and would absolutely recommend it to you.

My existing electric blanket heats up in around 5 minutes so is ideal for switching on as I am going to bed. This new one I ordered for another bed is barely warm after 15 minutes and takes around 30 minutes to heat up properly. This is unacceptable, so I returned it. Looks like all new electric blankets have been downgraded in heat up time as I have the same problem with other makes.

It warms up fairly quickly in about 5-10 minutes, and it has easy-to-use panel buttons to control the heating settings + timer. You do not feel the wires whilst sleeping, because they are well-positioned to be out of the way. It's much better than using a hot water bottle. The only negative point is the bright blue light on the digital panel - it's far too bright, and blue is not a good color to use at night, as it can affect sleeping rhythm. However, the light turns off quickly, but I feel they should have used a dim orange light instead of bright blue.

I purchased a king size 5 years ago and it still works beautifully....love this so much. HOWEVER we Upgraded our bed to a split super king bed (two single mattresses on a super king frame) so purchased two more single size but the controllers have been resigned and I have 2 problems1)control panel does not perform reliably; I turn on both sides of the bed and the controller on my side of the bed never worked properly always requires at least two attempts on the slider switch to activate. My husbands side used to turn on first time now it requires at least 2 tempts most times.2)the display panel light goes off after a few minutes so no way to know what the blanket is set on or if the timer has expired unless you turn it off and on again and reset....very frustrating, the old model always displayed the settings.

We live in an old house that gets very cold in the winter months so this electric blanket has been absolutely priceless to us. I initially thought that it was a little pricey but now think it is worth every penny, because not only is the product great quality but the different settings for both sides is invaluable, naturally as my partner is a woman she has to have it on scorchio, whereas I have it on number 3-4 (out of 9), also love that there are different settings for the feet and body and a safety timer function.
