OK, so your brand new electric bed's been delivered and set up. Like many UK owners, you might be realising that you need specialty linens and blankets. Which means a shopping trip (real or virtual) is required. Before you set out to fit your bed up in style, here's some information about the types of electric bed blankets you're likely to encounter.
Fleece Blankets
Fleece is always a popular material because it's ultra soft, provides excellent warmth and is easy to care for. Fleece is made from polyester and acrylic fibres. Surprisingly, these synthetics are as warm or warmer than wool. Many people choose fleece blankets for their adjustable beds and fleece throws to snuggle up in whilst watching TV.
Wool Blankets
Wool is exceedingly durable and will keep you very warm. A wool blanket will last for decades, if properly cared for by cold water washing or dry cleaning. Many people are sensitive to wool or find it scratchy. For them, a wool/silk blend combines the luxurious softness of silk with the warmth of wool on their UK electric bed.
Electric Blankets
Electric blankets are popular in colder climates because they provide a gentle heating effect throughout the night. Most electric blankets have a thermostat which you use to set the desired level of warmth. Others feature dual heating zones, each with its own thermostat, that are great for people who share a bed. Although most electric blankets are wired, wireless models are a recent innovation. An electrically heated mattress cover is another popular option.
Cotton Blankets
Cotton blankets are possibly the most popular type of blanket because of their utility, affordability and easy care. Cotton comes in a variety of decorative weaves, including herringbone and honeycomb. Many people position a cotton blanket between the top sheet and comforter on their electric bed. Cotton blankets can be used year round in virtually any climate.
Down Blankets
Perfect for colder climates, down blankets are prized for their insulating ability, comfort and durability. Down blankets are usually quilted in a decorative pattern to keep the fill from shifting. Designed to be much lighter than a down comforter, a down blanket is a perfect electric bed blanket.
There's a good range of choices available for electric bed blankets in the UK. With a little thoughtful consideration, you're sure to find the right one for your adjustable bed.
