We have an electric blanket on our bed in the winter and you can't beat getting into a warmed bed on a cold winters night.
I'm considering getting them for the guest rooms, but am concerned they could be abused. Would people leave them on all night, or put them on for hours before they go to bed. Could I have them hard-wired into the wall on a timer socket.... etc.
I recent news item in the UK revealed that 1 in 5 house fires are caused by electric blankets, although the major blame was on old electric blankets.
I wonder what others think of this, do you have them in guest rooms, are they abused, do you have special safety systems in place.
