As temperatures drop and brisk days settle in, finding reliable warmth day or night can feel like an impossible quest. Yet a simple solution lies right under your nose – or more accurately, under your covers. Discover the unbeatable cosy embrace of electric blankets and transform any room’s chill into a personal oasis of heat and restoration.
How do electric blankets work?
Electric blankets work by wiring thin heating elements into a soft fabric layer that is then encased between insulating fabric layers. When plugged in and turned on, these internal heating wires warm up to a specific temperature based on the heat setting selected.
The wires are powered by the flow of low-voltage electricity and heat via a process called resistive heating or Joule heating. As the electric current passes through the resistive wire filaments, they meet some resistance which creates friction. This friction generates heat.
The heat gently radiates through the blankets’ outer fabric layers, creating a uniform warming effect across the whole blanket. The plush fabrics further trap this warmth around the body by conserving natural body heat and preventing cool air from passing through.
Many electric blankets now also contain thermostats and sensors to monitor temperature. These auto-adjust the heating level, turning the blanket on and off as needed to maintain a steady, safe temperature. More advanced models have dual zones with separate controls allowing two sleepers to each customise their side.
Safety features are also standard, like automatic shut-off after a set number of hours. This prevents accidentally leaving them powered on. Overall, the integrated wire heating elements provide customised, consistent warming while fabric layers hold in all that heat for cosy, restorative comfort.
