Frequently asked questions about electric blankets
Below we try to answer the most frequently asked questions about electric blankets.
What exactly is an electric blanket?
An electric blanket is a blanket with integrated heating elements that are heated by electricity. You simply connect the blanket using the included controller and adjust the temperature accordingly. The result is a wonderfully warm bed that reaches the desired temperature within minutes.
What is the difference between an electric top blanket and an electric underblanket?
An electric blanket is placed on top of your body, while an underblanket is placed under your fitted sheet. An electric blanket provides direct heat, ideal for those who get cold easily. An underblanket, on the other hand, warms the mattress from beneath, providing more even heat distribution throughout the night.
Are electric blankets safe to use?
Yes, modern electric blankets are equipped with comprehensive safety features such as overheat protection and automatic shut-off. At Comfeur, all models meet the strictest European safety standards, so you can sleep soundly.
Can an electric blanket be left on all night?
That depends on the model. Many electric blankets have a timer and an automatic shut-off, allowing you to safely use them all night. You can also choose to use the blanket only to preheat your bed and then turn it off.
Can I wash an electric blanket?
Yes, Comfeur electric blankets are washable. Simply unplug the cord and remote control, then machine wash the blanket at a low temperature. This keeps your electric blanket clean and fresh. Read our blog about electric blanket maintenance for more practical tips and information.
Are electric blankets suitable for everyone?
Generally, yes, but for certain medical conditions, it's wise to consult a doctor first. We advise against using an electric blanket for young children unless they are supervised. Older adults often find the constant warmth very comforting.
How much energy does an electric blanket use?
An electric blanket's energy consumption is relatively low, often between 40 and 100 watts per hour, depending on the setting and the type of blanket. This makes an electric blanket much more energy-efficient than a heater or radiator in the bedroom. Read our blog about the energy consumption of an electric blanket per night for more information.
What are the benefits of an electric blanket?
An electric blanket not only provides a warm bed but can also help relax muscles and alleviate ailments like stiff joints or cold feet. You also save energy by lowering the heating in your bedroom.
How long does an electric blanket last?
With careful use and proper maintenance, an electric blanket will last for years. By storing the blanket clean and dry when not in use and always following the instructions, you'll significantly extend its lifespan.
Can an electric blanket be used on any mattress?
Yes, an electric underblanket is suitable for almost any mattress, as long as you place it under the fitted sheet. It doesn't matter whether you have a cold foam, pocket spring, or memory foam mattress. Just make sure the blanket lies flat and isn't folded over, so the heat can be distributed evenly and safety is guaranteed. Not sure if your mattress is suitable for an electric blanket? Check with the mattress manufacturer to be sure.
