General rule

The general rule in relation to electric blankets is that unless they have some kind of thermostat control which would effectively switch off the blanket when a certain temperature was reached then you should knock your electric blanket off before you get into bed. The vast majority of people will put their electric blankets on before they go to bed so that their bed is warm and comfortable.

There is an argument, even for electric blankets with thermostat controls, that there is always an element of risk if you keep your blanket on all night. It is very often better to be safe than sorry and those who switch their blankets off at the wall may well feel more comfortable.

Buying an electric blanket online

Sometimes it can be a little daunting when looking at what is available and some of the featured brands on the Internet including the likes of Dreamland electric blankets, Beurer, Home Front, Inglenook, Kingavon, Lloytron, Morphy Richards and Pifco. These are companies which have experience in not only the electric blanket market but also the bedding market in general.

Prices range from as little as £20 to as high as you’re willing to go for some of the more luxurious electric blankets on the market today. The fact is that electric blankets can make a major difference to your quality of sleep due to the fact they will kickstart the warming of your bed which will ultimately make you feel more comfortable and hopefully fall asleep quicker. Quality of sleep nowadays is paramount because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the fact that many of us work unsociable hours.

Is it time to buy an electric blanket?

Do you feel cold at night time? Does it take a while for your bed to warm up? If the answer to any of these two questions is yes then it may well be time to consider an electric blanket. In years gone by electric blanket were very much thought of as something for “older people” but this has changed significantly over the years. There are many young people who love their electric blankets, would not be without them and depend on them to take away the chill especially in the winter evenings.

Conclusion

Demand for electric blanket has increased dramatically over the years although the question whether you should knock it off before going to sleep is one which is often asked. In order to be safer rather than sorry many people automatically switch their electric blankets off at the plug before going to sleep while others may well make use of the thermostat controls available with some brands. It really is down to individual preference but ultimately the safest option is to switch it off before you go to sleep.

Is it time to replace your bed?

This study by the Furniture Industry Research Association highlighted the fact that some beds which are only six years old will see a significant reduction in their comfort and support. The reason for the reduction in value for money is not just general wear and tear but also the fact that during the night we lose around half a pint of fluid, skin, hair and other body debris.

The difference between old and new beds

A number of studies over the years have highlighted a significant difference in the quality and length of sleep between an old bed and a new bed. The so-called seven year hitch will see an older bed offering you sleep which is 42 min less than that from a new bed. Even the variety of sleeping aids available on the market will only increase your sleep by between 5 min and 10 min each night.

The comfort factor

It seems obvious to suggest that you are more comfortable with a new bed and a new mattress but again surveys show that you will experience less physical movement with a new bed, two times fewer waking periods and feel more comfortable.

Allergies and asthma

When you take into account the fact that we lose half a pint of fluid each and every night, we can shed around one pound of skin in a year not to mention hair and other body debris it is not surprise that more and more people are suffering from allergies and asthma. This is a perfect environment for dust mites which can cause all kinds of problems for many people.

Back pain

A study in America confirmed that 63% of those questioned saw a massive improvement in back pain after acquiring a new bed. Indeed 82% of back pain experts also backup the case that a new bed can make a major difference.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the many surveys which have been carried out in relation to sleeping patterns, quality of sleep and bedding arrangements and while much of the advice given is fairly straightforward and very simple it can make a major difference to your quality of sleep. When you bear in mind that very often the quality of our sleep is directly related to the mood in which we wake up then surely it is worth considering a change if your bed has seen better days?
