How much will it cost to use an electric blanket in 2025?

An electric blanket is the perfect solution for cold nights. While an electric heater or central heating system would require heating an entire room, an electric blanket only heats your bed. This is both comfortable and much more energy-efficient. But how much will it actually cost in 2025? In this article, we'll explain the power consumption of the various Comfeur electric blankets and compare them with other heating options.

The energy price in 2025

According to Independer the average electricity price in the Netherlands in 2025 will be €0.25 per kWh (source: Independer)We use this rate in the calculation examples below.

How long do you use an electric blanket?

Although many calculations assume 8 hours of use per night, most people only turn on their electric blanket for the first few hours to fall asleep. After that, the built-in timer switches the blanket off. Therefore, in this article, we assume an average use time of 4 hours per night.

Power consumption of Comfeur electric blankets

Comfeur offers various models of electric blankets. Below you'll find the consumption and costs for each type of blanket, calculated based on 4 hours of use per night.

Model	Assets	Consumption per night (4 hours)	Cost per night	Cost per month (30 nights)
Electric underblanket with preheat*	Preheat 170W / Normal 80W	0,37 kWh	€ 0,09	€ 2,70
Electric underblanket 190x80 cm standard	95W	0,38 kWh	€ 0,10	€ 3,00
Two-zone electric underblanket	70W	0,28 kWh	€ 0,07	€ 2,10
Electric blanket with preheat*	Preheat 170W / Normal 80W	0,37 kWh	€ 0,09	€ 2,70

*Calculation example preheat models: 30 minutes at 170W (0.085 kWh) + 3.5 hours at 80W (0.28 kWh) = total 0.365 kWh ≈ €0.09 per night.

Conclusion: Even the largest and most powerful Comfeur blankets will only cost you €2 to €3 per month if you use them every night.

Comparison with other heating options

How does the cost of an electric blanket compare to alternatives such as a heater or central heating?

Heating options compared (4 hours per night)

Option	Assets	Consumption per night (4 hours)	Cost per night	Cost per month (30 nights)
Comfeur electric blanket	70–95W	0,28–0,38 kWh	€ 0,07–€ 0,10	€ 2,10–€ 3,00
Electric heater	1500W	6,0 kWh	€ 1,50	€ 45,00
Central heating	~1250W	5,0 kWh	€ 1,25	€ 37,50

The difference is enormous: an electric blanket costs you only a few cents per night, while a heater or central heating consumes tens of euros extra per month.

Why is a Comfeur electric blanket more economical?

In addition to its low power consumption, the Comfeur electric blanket offers unique advantages over competitors:

1. Energy-efficient power

With a power of 70-95 watt The Comfeur electric blanket uses significantly less power than many other models, which often have an output of 100 to 150 watts. This saves you a significant amount of money every month.

2. Extra long dimensions

With a size of 190 x 80 cm The Comfeur blanket is longer than most standard electric blankets, without consuming any extra power. Ideal for taller people or those looking for that little bit of extra comfort.

3. Useful features

The blanket is equipped with a timer function, allowing you to easily set how long it stays on. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption and provides additional safety. 9 heat settings Choose the ideal temperature without using unnecessary energy. In the calculation example above, we assumed the blanket was used throughout the night. However, you often set the timer for a few hours so the blanket switches off while you sleep. So it will be even more cost-effective than described above. 

Tips to minimize the power consumption of an electric blanket

Although the Comfeur electric blanket is already energy-efficient, you can save even more with these tips:

1. Use the timer function: Let the blanket switch itself off after a few hours to save energy.
2. Choose a lower heat setting: Only use the highest setting to warm your bed and then switch to a lower setting.
3. Use the blanket in a targeted manner: Turn it on only when you're in bed, rather than well in advance.

With these tips you can make the most of the benefits of an electric blanket.

Conclusion: Save money smartly with a Comfeur electric blanket

With a power consumption of only 65 watt and a cost price of only €0.07 to €0.10 per night, is the Comfeur electric blanket One of the most energy-efficient ways to stay warm.
