Features to Look for in a King Size Electric Blanket

If you're looking to cut energy costs this winter while staying warm, consider buying a king size electric blanket. There are benefits to electric warming blankets that you don't get with regular blankets. Electric blankets are adjustable, and some have as many as ten different heat settings. By using your heated blanket at night and turning down the thermostat approximately 10 to 15 percent overnight you may notice a savings on your heating costs. There are plenty of manufacturers who make electric king size blankets, such as Sunbeam.


One top Sunbeam product is the Premium Microplush Heated Blanket. You get Comfort Set digital controls, 10 hour automatic shutoff for safety, a preheating function and dual heating controls on both sides. This is a feature only available with the Queen and King size electric blankets, which is another advantage. With dual controls you and your partner can customize the heat on your respective sides of the blanket. For example you may prefer high heat while your partner prefers low heat or no heat -- with this blanket it is possible for both of you to be comfortable.

Another leading brand is Polartec, who not only makes fleece apparel but also heated blankets. Their Low Voltage electric blanket comes in sizes from Twin to King and operate on a safe 25 volts. You get Safe&Warm patented technology, dual controls on Queen and King sizes, a five year warranty and of course the luxurious fleece fabric that has made Polartec so popular. Even though this blanket has lots of high-end features it can be machine washed and dried for your convenience. You really can't miss with this blanket as it is safe, effective and lightweight.

There are plenty of king electric blankets on the market today. Even if you have a queen size bed you may prefer a king size blanket. Also you should decide whether you want a low-voltage blanket like the one described above from Polartec or a traditional electric blanket. King size electric blanket manufacturers sell their products in stores like J.C. Penney, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target and of course online. Using the Internet to research electric blankets can be very helpful as it can lead you to products with the features you want at a price you can afford.
