Electric blankets have come a long way since the ones that you have may have seen your grandmother using that were almost as likely to catch on fire as they were to keep you warm. Today's electric blankets are not only safe, but they are reliable and there are many benefits to using them during cold winter nights. Here are a few of those benefits.
First, with an electric blanket you will save a significant amount on your electrical bills each month, giving you more spending money in your pocket and also reducing your home's total greenhouse gas emissions. An electric blanket only takes a few cents each night to keep heated, and it keeps the heat around you, right where you need it. If you use central heat to heat your entire house, on the other hand, you're spending money heating rooms that you're not using and heating a lot more square footage. This is much, much more expensive and bad for the environment.
Besides being economical, these blankets also let you get a nice, cozy, comfortable night's sleep. You won't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night shivering any more. With today's newest blankets that are better at keeping a constant temperature, you won't have to worry about waking up sweating either. It may take a little trial and error but setting the temperature dial on your electric blanket to where you like it is the best way to make sure you get a good night's sleep.
Electric blankets are even very versatile. You can take them anywhere where there's an outlet and use them. So while they work great on beds, they're also great to use if you're sitting in front of the TV or even if you're out on the balcony on a colder spring night.
Finally, using an electric blanket can help you relieve some mild joint and muscle pain. Heat is a great treatment for aches and pains and by warming your muscles up at night, the blanket will be drawing blood into them. This will help them to heal quicker and make sure that you don't wake up with aches and pains every morning.
