Product Description

An electric blanket is a blanket that contains integrated electrical heating wires. Types include underblankets, overblankets, throws, and duvets. … The electric blanket may be used to pre-heat the bed before use or to keep the occupant warm while in bed. Electric blankets use between 15 and 115 watts.

An electric blanket consists of three main components: a specially woven cloth called the shell; the heating element, in the form of insulated wire; and a bedside control and power cord. For the shell, manufacturers use a blend of polyester and acrylic which has been formulated for the industry.
