Which Queen Size Electric Blanket Should You Buy?

There are plenty of reasons to consider an electric blanket not just for winter but all year round. Many electric blankets have numerous heat settings and can even be used on their own without the heat. Therefore they are perfect for all four seasons and of course ideal for cold climates. A queen size electric blanket is a good fit for both full size and queen-size beds. If you're in a full size (also known as double) bed you'll have a substantial amount of blanket to cuddle under and the benefit of dual controls. Many top names sell electric blankets with dual temperature controls on queen and king sizes only.


For example two top brands are Sunbeam and Polartec, both of which sell fleece blankets with warming functions that can be controlled separately on the right and left. This means your partner can set their side of the blanket set to their preferred temperature and you can set your side of the blanket to your preferred temperature -- no more disputes over how warm the blanket should be. When shopping for an electric queen blanket you may want to look for one that is machine washable. This saves time and money since taking your bedding for dry cleaning is both time consuming and expensive.

One of the latest innovations in the world of warming blankets is the low voltage blanket. These come in all sizes from Twin to King. Low voltage blankets are designed to operate on 25 volts or less. Compare this to blankets operating on 120 volts or higher and you'll see how low voltage blankets are different. Not only are these blankets meant to be safer, they help conserve energy. Speaking of conserving energy, you can do so by using a low voltage electric blanket and turning your thermostat down at night.

When buying your queen size electric blanket there are many decisions to make. The voltage is of course an important decision, as described above. You'll also need to choose a color as the majority of electric blankets come in various fashion colors. The materials used to make warming blankets vary, however popular textiles include fleece, microfiber, cotton, polyester and various fabric blends. Like the color, choosing the fabric is a matter of personal preference. You'll find plenty of selections at high end and discount department stores as well as online.
